NCAA is Investigating Auburn's Tiger Prowl
After the Birmingham News submitted a records request for information on any NCAA violations that Auburn's infamous Tiger Prowl might have generated, the school turned it down because Tiger Prowl itself is being investigated by the NCAA.
The Tiger Prowl was something Gene Chizik and his staff instituted in 2009 to allow the coaches to tour various high schools together. That year they used limos; in 2010 they used a festively decorated bus. The NCAA enacted a rule banning schools from sending more than two coaches to a high school in an evaluation period in April 2010, putting the kibosh on the event.
The school issued this statement to the News: "The NCAA is not reviewing Tiger Prowl as individual violations. They are reviewing the entire event as a whole. Therefore, the investigative phase of this event is still on-going and we are currently working with the NCAA."

Just some smoke from the prototype...

I have every confidence in the NCAA.
I’m sure Inspector Clouseau is hard at work and will come to a completely reasonable conclusion momentarily. Clouseau doesn’t minkey around.
I fully expect...
That the NCAA will rule that it is completely legal for Auburn to host the Tiger Prowl, but illegal for other schools to host an identical event. Or something like that.
To count it up
The NCAA is investigating:
1. Cam Newton’s recruitment.
2. Auburn’s recruiting practices in Thibodaux, LA.
3. The claims of the four former Auburn players from the HBO special.
4. Tiger Prowl.
5. Street agent Will Lyles’ relationship with Oregon, via the recruitment of Lache Seastrunk, who attended Big Cat weekend, which Auburn admitted violations from.
Did I miss anything?
