However maybe what they are doing is saying we don't have 100% proof yet, and if we hold Auburn back now and for some unlikely reason they can't proove Newton knew about the benfits later Auburn can sue them for damages. However it's easier to go back later and penalize them.
I don't buy the TCU argument for a second, and still think of the voters were faced with the decision they'd bump Wisconsin as anyone with half a mind can think through the fact that Wisconsin with one loss is far more impressive than a midmajor with zero.

I like Wisconsin too but their SOS would probably be around the same as TCU...
