This is all coming from Roy Adams
though it has been separately confirmed that the NCAA is indeed
investigating running back Jovon Robinson's recruitment. To what
extent I do not know but here is the information I have gathered.
The NCAA has been at the high school of
the current Auburn signee since Tuesday allegedly investigating a
couple of things. They have discovered a discrepancy in Javon's
transcript. Apparently a school official changed the transcript
giving Jovon the grades to qualify to attend college. That official
has since retired. If found to be true, Robinson would be determined
to be ineligible to play for Auburn this year.
There are also questions about a brand new $30,000 Dodge “sports car” that Robinson has been seen driving around in. There is an inquiry into the situation and the NCAA is suspicious that all of the parties involved are not being completely upfront with them. Supposedly money was transferred into a guardian's account which was used to pay for the car. The guardian is telling the NCAA he/she inherited the money.
It's something worth watching and I thought it was news-worthy so I brought it to you here. Who knows what, if anything, will come of this given the NCAA's reputation for turning a blind eye on similar situations before.

UPDATE: A guidance counselor has resigned from Woodale High School after admitting to creating a false transcript for Robinson. Robinson is being held out of practice until further notice.
