So to me the legality of Spice isn't entirely important, its more the lack of control that appears to be a pattern at Auburn. If USC, Ohio State and Miami all got hammered because of the "Lack of institutional control", I gotta imagine Auburn will too. |
Yeah, players failing tests for something that wasn't banned isn't an issue, but the fact that they had so many players on their team smoking the stuff certainly is. If they can pin down payments to players the sanctions could get pretty severe.
The funny thing is I wonder if the fan base would see it as being worth it considering they won a national title. Vacated later or not they still got to enjoy the ride.
