I've been hesitant to post this since the latest "rumored" news has been positive but I am posting to see if anyone else close to the program has heard this and can maybe confirm or deny...
Last week my nephew's roommate said his father in on the investigation committe and that this goes back through former players and is pretty deep. I passed it off as a student trying to act like he has an "in" to make himself appear important (kid just strikes me that way).
Today, an alum and former professor said that at least 20 current and former football players are involved in sex for papers. This source is much more credible.
Not sure where to go from here but hoping some IE posters with inside contacts can verify or disprove these comments.
I've tried not to post too much "definitive" information because any and all of it could be wrong, but I want to add on to this.
To clarify... there are no other current players involved, I'm 99.99% sure of that... only way someone else would be is if they got something brand new they don't currently have.
The "20 players" thing isn't wrong but people need to be much more clear with how they phrase that... we're talking about 4 current players and then a whole bunch people who are long gone from the university.
The "sex for papers" thing is quasi-bull**** because that's not how this is being reviewed (at least per what I was told). There is no way to PROVE a quid pro quo trade of "I will write you this paper if and only if you give me the dick." Just think about that for a second and how impossible that would be to "prove" in any sort of way. So yeah, the one person at the 'heart' of all this was banging a bunch of people and also apparently cheating but from what I've been told the honor code violations are being considered on their own merit.
Everything I have heard is that the probe is very widespread now and has gone a lot deeper than just considering the information that was first brought to them. Whether this was overzealous or simply prudent is up for debate. But we're not just talking about the girl and football, there are other sports and other **** that is being looked at. I have no clue what all they have or have not found.
So in short what you've posted is almost entirely accurate, but we've also known the gist of this since Day 1. IMO the biggest issue at hand are the douchebags on other boards who don't have good sources but are trying to represent that they do and are posting inaccurate dribble that is muddling the situation.
Right now people should be expecting wins to be vacated, and I'm just really not sure on the player statuses. But as of last week really well placed people did not represent that anything in this case is 100% done.
