Comments made on tape by Terry Bowden, Auburn's head football coach from 1993-1998, were released on Sunday and acknowledge $5,000-$15,000 payments made by boosters to players. Bowden, son of Florida State coach Bobby and older brother of Clemson coach Tommy, is now a commentator for ABC Sports and contends that the comments were made off the record.
