Gene Chizik has chatted with a few reporters before entering the main writers’ room in Hoover. Here’s some of the info he’s shared (according to reporter tweets):

1. The coach will not discuss the Mike Blakely situation until the process is finished. (Blakely tweeted yesterday that the NCAA had denied his appeal to play immediately at Auburn, after transferring from Florida.)

2. Chizik said he was simply looking for clarity when he asked the NCAA’s head of enforcement about its investigation into Auburn during the SEC meetings in Destin. He said the exchange was not confrontational. He also said that he feels good about where Auburn is with regards to the NCAA investigation.

3. Running back Eric Smith has been permanently dismissed from Auburn’s team.
