Oregon got hit with their NCAA Penalties, stemming from their use of Will Lyles and his "recruiting services". If you want to get caught up on this side of the story, head over to Addicted to Quack.
Still, This has nothing to do with Auburn, right? Right? Nope. I always like to play a fun game on Twitter. Whenever news of NCAA sanctions come out, I just like to do a few quick twitter searches and see who is playing the Internet's worst game of Apples to Apples and connecting (or trying to connect) Auburn to whatever NCAA mess is going on. Here's a sampling (with appropriate reaction gifs from yours truly):
@lumbar_shane Auburn and Oregon should be ashamed that they did not punish themselves and appease the NCAA. #WeApologizeForCamNewton

Auburn. You. Should. Be. Ashamed. ASHAMED!
Fact: OhSt - violations covered up by Tressel Oregon - players bought Auburn - plyrs bought UNC - serial academic fraud UM - 1 rogue booster

Counselor. These are FACTS. FACTS! FACKITY FACTS. Only one law team would be crazy enough to take this case: Franklin & Bash

@skywaker9 how could Oregon get a bowl ban for recruiting violations and Auburn gets away with outright cheating?

It's just not fair:

Still bitter bc half of the auburn team that beat Oregon are in jail now

These penalties don't really hurt Oregon. I'm gonna pretend that Auburn just got the same punishment so I can feel better about 2010.

I find it funny Oregon got in trouble with the NCAA before Auburn did. #ScamNewton

Yes. Funny. Tis quite funny, don't you agree?
Oregon gets a slap on the wrist. If it was any SEC school other than Auburn, there would have been severe penalties.
— Brett Miolen (@bostondawgsfan) June 26, 2013
Other than Auburn? Wait, didn't Mississippi State JUST get hit with penalties?
Say what you want about Mark May but the NCAA is the biggest Buckeye troll. We get a bowl ban but Oregon, Auburn, get nothing #$EC #Nike
— Buckeye Humor (@BuckeyeHumor) June 26, 2013
Yes, it's all about the money in the SEC, because Ohio State is so so very poor and cash strapped.
Auburn has suffered no penalties or NCAA sanctions for anything while Mississippi State and Oregon have. That makes me lol.

It makes me laugh as well, but for other reasons.

And what about auburn they should be banned from the NCAA by now
— Jocque (@jakeloy0) June 26, 2013
Ban us from the NCAA. BAN US (from a completely voluntary organization).
@kingcfb no doubt that oregon penalty is horse crap, but auburn cheated and is widely known as "wepaytoplay" school. U need to accept that.
— Joe M. Baker (@BigDawgJoe) June 26, 2013
It is wildly known. Accept it.
@FightOnTwist confirms what we knew already-The ncaa was outta control w/earlier penalties (Ohio st-USC). want Justice? Investigate Auburn.
— PS 4uthority (@WTD_24) June 26, 2013
There is so much injustice in this world. It makes me burn with rage. I need justice.
I find it funny Oregon got in trouble with the NCAA before Auburn did. #ScamNewton

NCAA is a joke. Cooperate (OSU, USC) and get a bowl ban, remain silent (Oregon, auburn) and get away with little/no punishment
— Peter Roser (@PitaTheBread) June 26, 2013
And, we're done here. Auburn sure did a lot of "un-cooperating" when the NCAA was searching our tiny hamlet.
