Here is a link to a document detailing a long discussion from the SEC forum on the LSU message board Tigerdroppings.com
http://filesocial.com/x9sj76
Two disclaimers here:
1. This thing is 33 pages long. But I only skimmed it and got a good sense of its gist. That didn't take too long.
2. Yes, this is from a message board and is obviously entirely unsubstantiated. That said, much of it is made up of published reports that someone with a lot of local background knowledge has taken the time to put together and connect.
The short version:
Shady Auburn Board of Trustee chairman Bobby Lowder used TARP money granted by the U.S. taxpayers via their good-hearted Congresspersons to his failing bank to do many, many dodgy things, including but not limited to giving freebies to Auburn football players and recruits.
The significance being that if even half of this is true, Auburn is under threat of the death penalty.
Like I said, this is a lot of rumor and innuendo. But the point has been made many times already that the FBI couldn't care less about silly NCAA football rules. The FBI deals with big boy crimes, like taking taxpayer money and using it for low-grade human trafficking schemes/extortion.
The current BC$ ranking are possibly very, very small fry compared to how deep this rabbit hole could prove to be before anyone reaches the bottom.
Good luck, you silly Tigers.
