Title: Memphis - Jovon Robinson story (updated): "The Barn Burns" Post by: Chechem on August 16, 2012, 06:24:17 AM http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2012/aug/15/jovon-robinsons-summer-coach-says-ncaa-him/?CID=happeningnow
Quote The summer football coach of former Wooddale High and current Auburn University running back Jovon Robinson said he was interviewed by the NCAA this month. Byron De'Vinner of Nashville told The Commercial Appeal Wednesday that the NCAA representative's questions were broad in nature and weren't specific to the team he coached. "It wasn't about Jovon Robinson in particular," De'Vinner said. "It was basically just asking questions about how are 7-on-7s run, things in those nature." ... Bottom line: this is a broad NCAA investigation about how recruits are contacted, handled, and how much contact they have with schools. :popcorn2: BTW, reports are out that Jovon had an arrest months ago that involved a car without a license plate, and suggestions that the car was a gift...

In truth, there's little chance that anyone associated with Aub bought him a car. It appears to be family money. Regardless, he's unlikely to ever see the field at Aubland after this transcript fiasco. In the least, he'll spend a year elsewhere. Then? Tenn?

97.3 (The Zone) discussing Jovon's eligibility. The NCAA is moving slowly, and the discussion centered on Jovon redshirting at Aubs this year. They don't think he'll be cleared in time otherwise. The big question is whether his core courses in high school were passed. Without that, he can't play. THEN, if his grade changes had a more sinister motive (more than a counselor feeling sorry for him), then he'll never play at Aubs. LONG way to go yet on this, and the NCAA seems in no hurry to solve it.

Quote Auburn freshman running back Jovon Robinson has been ruled ineligible to play this season following the revelation that at least one of his high school grades was changed. He was ruled him ineligible Friday after determining Robinson would not have qualified without the grade change. Robinson's immediate plans are unclear. Robinson's high school guidance counselor at Wooddale High School in Memphis admitted to changing the grade, and resigned. Robinson has not practiced at Auburn since Aug. 10 after the grade change was revealed...

Quote ... My source says the NCAA has been digging since the Cam situation never giving up. The changed grade on Jovon Robinson gave them a source to start with. This source finally broke down and confessed that the volleyball coach at Wooddale HS was the one who had the grade changed. She also provided Jovon as well as other's rides down to unofficial visits to AU. She is a Auburn grad and many think she may be the delivery mechanism in the Cam and other money transfers. Also MSU is in trouble over the Will Redmond case where he was basically bought and paid for lock stock and barrel to come there. Rather than pay severe penalties MSU agreed to turn on Auburn and this may be more of a crucify Trooper situation than a crucify Auburn case.He is truly in their sights and they want him bad. They apparently caught him in some lies. One this about the Volleyball coach is she took Robinson down to a unofficial visit without notifying his mother. On the way home the car allegedly broke down and they had to pull off and spend the night at a motel. The next morning the mother put an APB out on her son. To say she was none to happy when he showed up with the volleyball coach... http://alabama.247sports.com/Board/116/Per-Blue-Board-Auburn-Troopa-12178076 Title: Re: Jovon Robinson story updated: "Ruled ineligible to play at Auburn in 2012" Post by: Jamos on September 11, 2012, 06:16:57 AM Good point, WV.

More rumors and expectations of a breaking story: Quote Couple of things: First, Veazy of the Commercial Appeal has continued to stay with this story. I doubt he has the resources or connections that some in the national media (Yahoo, ESPN, etc) probably have. He hasn't let it die, in my opinion, because if or when it breaks, he'll be the one credited with orginally breaking the story. Second, the Memphis School System has been mute on the subject. We know grades were changed, yet the school system has announced no formal investigation. Other than a couple of blanket denials by some of the counselors involved, no one is talking. Third, Byron De'vinner, the 7 on 7 coach for Robinson and Redmond a couple of weeks ago said via Twitter he was holding a "press conference" in order to clear his name. For some reason, he decided it was best to keep his mouth shut. And, finally the Memphis Gay Blade Mr. TennStud. We should know if anything slimy is happening in Memphis recruiting he probably has a handle on it because he has been involved or knows the parties involved. When he was on Finebaum several weeks ago, he acted rather confident that the NCAA had the "goods" on Auburn and possibly MSU. We know whatever is going on in Memphis is at least serious enough to cost one MSU assistant his job. I'm thinking other orange and blue dominoes are about to start falling. ... http://www.tidefans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=175970&page=6&p=1961918 Title: Re: Jovon Robinson story updated: "Ruled ineligible to play at Auburn in 2012" Post by: Chechem on September 11, 2012, 12:23:31 PM (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/11/yhugyvep.jpg)

Aub message board: Quote Didn't see this posted here, but figured I'd share. A UT booster, Adams, who is in the know about Memphis HS sports and recruiting had enough of Dooley and decided to snitch on him about Memphis. He started aiming aimlessly and spilled the beans on everyone else while he was at it, or at least gave those investigators the right schools and people to talk to. Memphis has been infiltrated by media and NCAA for at least 4 months if not more according to a local Memphis reporter. So while MSU self-reported their violations, though steep from what some are saying, they just cut loose the WR assistant and hope to take a minor slap on the wrist. For Auburn, it's wrong place, wrong time and apparently got caught with pants down without even knowing things were going down already. Here's some comments I pulled that are supposedly from UT booster Adams. TIFWIW, but does call out ESPN & Yahoo! as the two media outlets that would be reporting, and those names have been mentioned outside of this for tomorrow's breaking stories. So, basically this... "Gary Parrish, CBSports called today to talk, saying he would be over for Saturday's tv party, games; he asked if he could attend our weekly Wed. luncheons where sports folks gather at 3 rotating restaurants. Naturally I told him yes; it would be at Wang's, Ridgeway, Park at 11:30. He said he would definitely attend. He then said that he heard that Auburn would be hit hard in the next several days. Since he called me, I didn't inquire, ask. I just listened. Later, another usually well informed individual called to say that Yahoo Sports or ESPN was coming out with a bombshell telling the story how the soccer coach at Wooddale HS, Jovon Robinson's school, would be outed. She's an Auburn graduate. One week end she carried Jovon to Auburn without Jovon telling his mother. Upon returning, her auto broke down and again, Jovon didn't call his mother. That MOnday Jovon's mother reported her son as missing to the Memphis police department. Now, according to rumors, she's somehow involved in the distribution of money, etc. Again, just rumors. The NCAA has been actively involved recently here in Memphis. One of my best friends met with them; they came to his home, took a lot of photos, and carried him to lunch at Mr. B's. Most interesting info from those meetings but I was sworn to secrecy."

"NCAA continues look into Jovon Robinson transcript change" http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/blog/eye-on-college-football/20153006 Several sources have said that more than one school is involved. One is MSU. The other? Aubs. Quote ... The NCAA's examination of Robinson's transcript is only part of a wider-ranging investigation into Memphis-area football, one which multiple NCAA interviewees have said is connected to Mississippi State. The Bulldogs have acknowledged the school is working with the NCAA to resolve a "potential recruiting irregularity," have disassociated a booster found to be in "impermissible contact with the prospective student-athlete," and saw receivers coach Angelo Mirando resign just days before the season over reported connections to the investigation. Put all that together, and you get one whopper of a mess for everyone involved. But it's a mess that doesn't seem to be getting any smaller -- or any closer to a resolution -- anytime soon.

"Yahoo story focuses on alleged payment by Mississippi State booster" http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/index.ssf/2012/09/yahoo_story_focuses_on_alleged.html Quote A now-disassociated Mississippi State booster allegedly made cash payments to Bulldog freshman defensive back Will Redmond, who signed with the Bulldogs in February, according to his seven-on-seven coach in a story published by Yahoo! Sports today. Yahoo!Sports quotes seven-on-seven coach Byron De'Vinner saying he witnessed the payments and other extra benefits. The 1,929-word story, one of a small number of national stories that were thought to focus on Memphis recruiting, is mostly devoted to the recruitment of Redmond. ...

De'Vinner's association with Vanderbilt players is revealed. He tried to steer them; at least one wouldn't take his advice (page 3). http://www.dnj.com/article/20120913/SPORTS/120912009/De-Vinner-speaks-NCAA-investigators Quote “I’ve known Byron De'Vinner since I was a sophomore (in high school),” defensive end Caleb Azubike, a former McGavock standout now a freshman at Vanderbilt said last year. “I went to his camp in Murfreesboro. He helped me get my name out and he’s mentored me. When I’ve needed him, he’s been there.” Brian Kimbrow, last year’s top-rated recruit in the state as a running back from Memphis East, signed with Vanderbilt despite advice from De’Vinner to look elsewhere. “He told me to go with my heart,” Kimbrow said last year. “My relationship with Byron, we’re very close. We don’t just talk about recruiting, we talk about life. He came from the same environment I’m living in now.” Said De’Vinner in 2011: “We were on the phone for two hours ...trying to convince him he needed to be in a spread offense, trying to convince him to take a look at other places. Brian got mad at me and said, ‘I’m going to Vanderbilt.’” Title: Re: Memphis - Jovon Robinson story (updated): "The Barn Burns" Post by: Chechem on September 13, 2012, 11:11:58 AM Byron De'Vinner is being interviewed on 93.7 The Zone at 11:15 this morning.
Title: Re: Memphis - Jovon Robinson story (updated): "The Barn Burns" Post by: Chechem on September 13, 2012, 11:40:17 AM Summary of Byron De'Vinner interview on 93.7:
1. Bkgd: played at Alabama State. Worked undercover for FBI, DEA (left for his "safety") before starting a foundation to interact with football players. 2. Trying to help underprivileged kids. 3. Reviewed his statement that he witnessed $ changing hands (to Miss. State player). 4. Question: Has NCAA gone big on this investigation, or is it a small investigation? Answer: NCAA interviewed De'Vinner back in January; NCAA knew much of it already (money changing hands); MSU was on the conference call with him. Q: Where will the investigation go from here? A: He rambled, but didn't answer. He just reviewed what happened. Q: Other schools involved in NCAA investigation? A: No, I haven't seen any benefits from other schools; no handshakes, no $$, etc. Redmond maybe, but I didn't see it happen. Q: Was the $60,000 involving Alabama or Auburn? A: No, not them. (He didn't want to talk about it.) Q: Was Auburn involved? A: Not that I know; I wasn't asked about them either. Q: What about Jovon Robinson? A: I haven't seen him since he signed. Q: Did you (De'Vinner) get benefits from MSU? A: Yes, MSU compensated me with an honorarium and put me up in a luxury suite. Q: Did booster from MSU ask you to guide players to MSU? A: Yes, I came clean on that. I didn't do it. I refused to take his money, though. Q: Don't you think it odd to give $$ in front of you? A: He didn't care that I was there. It was a $$$ handshake (with Will Redmond). Apparently Will didn't know the booster's name, and neither did De'Vinner until recently. They exchanged tweets finally after De'Vinner's name was bashed. That booster worked for Homeland Security. Booster told De'Vinner to stay quiet. Q: Why did you come out and talk? A: Because they wanted me to take the fall for it. Q: Did Mullens offer you a job? A: Mullens told him about a job opening, but it wasn't offered. He heard he was to be interviewed about the job later. But he wanted to make sure the job wasn't tied to Will Redmond; they moved the interview for the job to before signing day. He interviewed a week before signing day, it went 8 hours, including meeting with Mullen, then they interviewed others. D was front runner, but a Northwestern guy got the job (recruiting coordinator). Mullen called to tell him he was welcome to visit regularly anyhow. Compliance people at MSU wanted to check him out. At MSU spring game he chatted, but got no more offers. Q: Did Mullen or other coaches know about $$$ handshake? A: Some were, but not Mullen. Angelo (fired coach) was the only one, he thinks ??). Q: Is there more coming out of this NCAA investigation? A: He thinks it's just the MSU stuff, not any other schools. Q: Where do you work? A: At a high school, as a coach, but I don't want to say where. Whew! Good stuff, but no barn burner.
