Did you get paid a bonus for that?

not technically, but increased interest = increased dollars to the academy = more money in my pocket = more eagles road games = i win.

so apparently the ncaa can prove that cecil newton was shopping camron but cant prove that camron knewton about it or that auburn was a buyer....ncaa is such a joke



According to facts of the case agreed upon by Auburn University and the NCAA enforcement staff, the student-athlete's father and an owner of a scouting service worked together to actively market the student-athlete as a part of a pay-for-play scenario in return for Newton's commitment to attend college and play football. NCAA rules (Bylaw 12.3.3) do not allow individuals or entities to represent a prospective student-athlete for compensation to a school for an athletic scholarship.

In conjunction with the case, Auburn University has limited the access Newton's father has to the athletics program and Mississippi State has disassociated the involved individual.

"The conduct of Cam Newton's father and the involved individual is unacceptable and has no place in the SEC or in intercollegiate athletics," said Mike Slive, Southeastern Conference Commissioner. "The actions taken by Auburn University and Mississippi State University make it clear this behavior will not be tolerated in the SEC."

"Our members have established rules for a fair and equal recruitment of student-athletes, as well as to promote integrity in the recruiting process," said Kevin Lennon, NCAA vice president for academic and membership affairs. "In determining how a violation impacts a student-athlete's eligibility, we must consider the young person's responsibility. Based on the information available to the reinstatement staff at this time, we do not have sufficient evidence that Cam Newton or anyone from Auburn was aware of this activity, which led to his reinstatement. From a student-athlete reinstatement perspective, Auburn University met its obligation under NCAA bylaw 14.11.1. Under this threshold, the student-athlete has not participated while ineligible."

So, how did Auburn pay Cecil Newton without leaving a paper trail?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Epic finish to ASU/Arizona.

I can't believe Dennis Erickson continues to get head coaching jobs (even though he won tonight, yes).

[Don Ho]

Did you see Zendejas as he tried to run off the field after the missed xp in OT?  He was getting a ration of shtein from the crowd and stopped to talk some shtein back.

[Sgt PSN]

Did I hear correctly on the radio today that if South Carolina beats Auburn in the SEC Champ Game then TCU plays for the national championship?  So yeah, in case anyone was wondering exactly why the NCAA didn't suspend/ban Cam Newton.....there ya go. 

[Munson]

Pretty much.


I'm begging for SC to win so we get to see a "small school" in there.


BCS is 85% of the reason why I don't watch college football

[Don Ho]

Well, Hawaii is #23 in the country.  Now I am certain something is really wrong with college football.

[Sgt PSN]

BCS is 85% of the reason why I don't watch college football

85% of the reason I don't watch it very much is because I didn't go to a big D-1 school, so I have no personal connection of ties to any team out there (GO BLOOMSBURG!!)  10% is because I hate the BCS and the other 5% is because I choose to dedicate my time to things other than following a sport that has like 300 teams.  I figure that for the most part, I'll see the guys who are worth watching in college when they get to the pros. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Newton will be ruled ineligible some time after the National Championship, once the NCAA has all their cake.
