Is this enough proof?

Or am I taking a word for word admission of guilt completely out of context here. This was an interview following the Orange debacle. Help me out BigAl.

Dwayne Allen is NFL RICH at CLEMSON (Proof)

You would think that after the Gamecocks rolled the tiglets up for the third straight year that we had already had our fun. WRONG, they get blown out in the Urange Bowl in front of the World against a Big East Team. The tigers gave up 70 points, the most ever in BOWL HISTORY. I woke this morning and low and behold Dwayne Allen is talking about how Rich he is at clemson. I have so much ammo now that my brain is fried as to what project to do next. Team Cluck Femson is going to systematically dismantle you.

BigAl, could you check into this for us? Certainly sounds like there is something to it.

Be my guest. Forward it to the NCAA and see what happens. Sounds like it should be looked into.

I am aware with enough rivalry bias and malice one could take a video out of the context of an interview to make it appear incredulous but this one is a head-scratcher.

I knew it was only a matter of time before one of those Klembeciles came out of the closet about being paid.
For all you who doubt that Klempsin pays some of their athletes, I hope this helps to remove your doubt.

LOL, this is very old news, and was discussed at length. Unfortunately just like the Scam Newton story, words are not proof. If your dad shopping you out to another school for 180k doesn't produce any proof, then a player saying something stupid or having his picture taken with some cash is not going to get much of a reaction, IMO. Proof is not pictures or words, as those are too easy to explain away. It just sucks that is all we can ever get out of these situations. So to answer your question. No it is not proof enough for the NCAA.

True. Proof is a money trail, as in the Nevin Shapiro (Miami) and Albert Means (Bama) cases.

Yep. It has gotten to the point where you either need someone to rat them out, or they get caught red-handed. Investigations are not going to come from some post-bowl interview where a guy"mispeaks"(Read: speaks the truth).

It is very hard to trace because a lot of the benefits come from their paw points and tiger stripes (similar to our carolina cash).

Thought you would handle that part for us once you had proof. Are you saying you don't really care whether there is proof or not, you just come in here and respond to be a pain in the butt?

Do you understand the difference between suspicion, evidence and proof?
What you have is a suspicion that Clemson is paying recruits. But what evidence do you have?
