Should have guessed it would be a Pac 10 team.
That is all Cowherd really knows. But, he is indeed connected in that conference.
TCU may end up the 2010 national champion
If Oregon vacates their season & Auburn goes down with the Cam Newton scandal, that leaves TCU as the highest ranked team left standing.
What is "Good-Strong" and why is there always so much more of it after a jump?
Good point
It will be just a matter of time before Auburn gets exposed. Now that the NCG is over you can expect the investigation to start.

Interesting in the ESPN article is also mentioned...
Auburn, Baylor, Oklahoma St. and Texas A&M who also used the services. Wonder if these or any other schools get looked at. It didn’t accuse them, but if Oregon goes down, it might cast some suspecions on others.

I don't think they're going down
The athletics department paid for services rendered by a pair of scouting services that were processed through the athletics department business office to Complete Scouting Services and New Level Athletics. This is no different than services purchased by a number of colleges and universities throughout the country.
This is something we remain confident that is within the acceptable guidelines allowed by the NCAA and occurred with the knowledge of the department’s compliance office.
It looks like a gray area.

The old wrong money in the wrong places trick again, huh?
I’ll be darned if I can come up with anything more than a laughable draft proposal for a tiny corner of this issue (I tried – player bonuses for high grades.), but this money going here and there and ending up in all the “wrong places” needs to change.
There is a black market underlying college sports, and it needs to be brought out of the shadows and legitimized and done honorably. So long as it is done with sane amounts of non-taxpayer money (private donations, likely) I am all for it.
The market for things like this exists weather anyone likes it or not (and that will never change) but not all of it It is necessarily or inherently dishonorable.
The trouble is not finding ways to do things like this right – laying it out the right way and executing it well- but doing it without creating a bureaucratic-titanic of oversight.
This stuff can easily and simply be regulated into the real world, but the bureaucracy in the oversight aspects of it is something that may never be tamed once unleashed, and this is probably why none of this has happened.
If anyone has any thoughts to fix it – then by all means…
