"We thought we would be without (running back) Mike Dyer because he said he was one of them, but Auburn found a way to make those dudes eligible," former Auburn defensive lineman Mike Blanc told Roberts.

Blanc told ESPN's Jonathan Coachman on Thursday that the report was not true. He tweeted Wednesday: "Man this article is outrageous and isn't true."

According to his uncle, Andre Dyer, Michael Dyer said he was "never even close" to being academically ineligible prior to the 2011 BCS national championship game.

Dyer made the game-sealing run as a true freshman in the title game against Oregon. He ran for 1,093 yards as a freshman and 1,242 as a sophomore before leaving the program for an undisclosed violation of team rules.

If Dyer or other Tigers' players were found to have been ineligible to compete, Auburn's national championship would be in jeopardy.

In a statement released Thursday, Auburn athletics director Jay Jacobs said Auburn is reviewing the report, even though the school has "no reason to believe these allegations are either accurate or credible."

According to the report, Auburn coaches offered money to players for any number of reasons, including as a means to convince players to bypass the NFL draft.

Darvin Adams, a former Auburn wide receiver, told Roberts that coaches offered him cash to keep him at the school.

Blanc and Mike McNeil, another former Auburn player, told Roberts the money amounts reached "several thousand dollars."

"Coaches would say, 'Don't tell anyone where you got it from,' " Blanc told Roberts.

McNeil told Roberts he had a meeting with then-defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, now Florida's coach, in 2007.

"I had no clue what it was about because I'd never directly asked him for anything," McNeil told Roberts. "He slid about $400 over to me. He went into a drawer and gave me money and said, 'Is this enough? Is this good?' And I said, 'Yeah, I'm good.' "

Muschamp denied McNeil's account to Roberts through a spokesperson and again to the Gainesville Sun.

"Totally deny it," Muschamp told the newspaper. "I don't know where this is coming from."
