Summary

Auburn has announced indefinite suspensions to two of its four best players. That means a lot for the Tigers -- and for other schools. Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander kick off this episode by discussing that, then go into the latest round of embrassing decisions by the NCAA regarding academic eligibility. The duo also touches on Duke coming in at No. 1 in the AP preseason poll, and why that could backfire, then finish up by discussing Norlander's assertion that Wichita State joining the AAC now means there's a "Major 7" group of power college basketball conferences.

0:00.0	Hey there, it's Eric Herschert, Thursday November 2nd, 2017.

0:41.4	from assisting coaches who are now facing federal charges and that's federal prison.
0:45.2	So that's what I predicted last week and this morning Auburn announced it's holding Austin
0:49.7	Wiley and Danielle Purefoy out of games indefinitely and you don't have to be an FBI official
0:56.0	to connect the dots here.
0:57.3	Auburn associate head coach Chuck person is alleged to have given a total of $18,500 to

1:19.7	and now it's unclear frankly if either will ever be allowed to play for Bruce Pearl's
