McGregor is an Auburn booster who ran a greyhound racing track called VictoryLand and he was recently arrested along with 10 others in a political bribery scheme. Why would the FBI be involved in the investigation of a college football player? As we learned on Wednesday from TMZ, the FBI was asking about Milton McGregor’s involvement in the Cam Newton case. Now what makes me feel so certain a good amount of this information is accurate? The FBI’s presence in the case. Now, as for some shadier ways, check out this creativity.įrom TD: “Such things include guaranteed winning slot machines for AU players at Milt’s (Colonial Board member, AU Booster) Casino, unmarked ATM cards issued to AU players from Colonial Bank (Bobby Lowder-AU Board Member and Booster Pat Dye-Colonial Board member, AU employee and Booster), forgiven loans to families, friends, donors, etc.” Money from that fund may have been used in recruiting. Another way suggested by Tiger Droppings has been donating to the Alabama Children’s First Foundation. So how has money been funneled to players recently? Well one way has been through the Fine-Geddie lobbying group, which has been paid through Auburn’s booster fund Tigers Unlimited Foundation (also prominently noted at Sports by Brooks). You know what that means? The people controlling Auburn’s booster funds also controlled one of the state’s most powerful banks, and vice versa. The incredible research and investigation done by blueTunaTiger at the LSU site Tiger Droppings points out that over the past 10 years, about five people have served as members of the Auburn Board of Trustees as well as Colonial BancGroup’s Board of Directors.
