Payment schemes? Hired hookers? Names of go-betweens? There are a plethora of possibilities.

It will all depend on if the wiretaps are made part of the record, and which part are made part of the record. Could end up being huge, or may never see the light of day.

...transcripts of the tapes and the 70 people talking on them. It's around 400 hours of tape, so this trial is going to take a while. Lots of people have heard the tapes so they could prepare their defense/prosecutions, and nothing has leaked out that would or could be damning to Auburn. If there was anything that juicy on the tapes, I'm sure it would've leaked out by now.

The only thing that gives me hope for something happening to AU is that Bobby Lowder isnot seeking another term on Auburn's Board of Trustees. This, after he ousted the former Governor of Alabama when that Gov wouldn't put him on the board. Seems weird to me... like a rat leaving the ship, just like he did at Colonial Bank.

I don't believe there will be anything on those tapes implicating illegal Auburn recruiting practices.

Although, it would not surprise me at all for Milton to be on there making a statement like this kid better be worth the money we paid him. After all spring practice was going on at the time and most of the fan base was not overwhelmed at the time. This was mainly because he was limited running the ball in the spring.
