I’d be interested in why UGA didn’t recruit Camzilla. Maybe there were legitimate reasons….maybe not. The evaluation and projection of high school players is difficult and tedious, but some people seem to be pretty consistent in their successful assessments……while others seem to miss on way too many players.

When a coach’s message gets stale and tired, the team ceases to perform to their capabilities…..UGA ?

A fresh new perspective and vision can make major improvements quickly…..Auburn, Miss State ?

A lot of dirt being thrown around this morning. Some clarity – (1) we recruited Cam, but he obviously benefits from being in a run/pass system; (2) the world is full of sleazy folks trying to hustle money “on behalf” of atheletes. God knows how many folks have passed themselves off as representing a particular star athlete. I wouldn’t hold that against Newton; (3) whether Cam was going to be kicked out of Florida for cheating or stealing a laptop, the writing was on the wall, so he bolted. Once he’s gone, there’s no jurisdiction over him. He spent his year ’serving time’(i.e. mississippi jc) and is enjoying some redemption. I just don’t see the issue here. And i’m a dawg fan – I think Auburn is a one-man show and I know we’d have a better shot with him out – but just don’t see any justification for him being suspended.

All of you UGAers get your heads out of the sand or wherever you have them stuck and start worrying about the number one problem with UGA. At the rate your athlete-thugs are being arrested, you’ll be lucky to have any football team by the end of the season.

UGA has made the state a laughingstock with its reputation as one big party school with copious job opportunities for bail bondsman, and decent people are fed up with this. Get rid of the illiterate, undisciplined drunks and felons that Mark Richt recruits, and get rid of Richt too. Even with these illiterate jerkoffs, he can’t even win the division, much less the SEC, so what’s the point.

So while you sit there in your delapidated single wide, deciding if the beer will last
until the next unemployment check comes in, think about this.

Mark – Excellent post on your part.
There certainly seems to be quite a rush to judgement concerning Cam Newton and whether he may or may not have committed plagiarism when he was at UF. I don’t see how it has any effect on his academic eligibility at Auburn. Kids flunk out or transfer for academic reasons all of the time. As long as he is in good standing at AU, he’s eligible to play. It is interesting that these allegations have come out now – his academic record at UF is supposed to be private, so you can bet someone with an agenda leaked it.
Unfortunately plagiarism happens all the time.

http://www.american.com/archive/2008/november-december-magazine/cheating-2.0
From the article:

Schools with honor codes have lower rates of cheating, but the rates are still significant. The Center for Academic Integrity at Clemson University found that while 45 percent of students at colleges without codes cheat, only 33 percent of students at schools with modified honor codes cheat and 23 percent of students at schools with traditional codes cheat.

You are fighting ghost. First of all the compliance at Auburn is reputed to be one of the best and this cheap allegation doesn’t even dazzle us with footwork. Secondly there will be another cheat winning the Heisman and probably are many in the past that won it doing worse things than Bush. Not only do they have winners with no talent but huge political pull winning it, we still have OJ Simpson a member of the club, while Bush gives back his trophy in what looks like a kid trying to help his parents out.

Fact is most of us realize and have from the start of the season, Cam Newton is the best football player in college football. The Heisman goes to a ton of undeserving players both talent wise and character wise. The Heisman has become a minor event, check the television ratings. The public knows a fake when it sees it and the Heisman is taking a beating. When another person holds that trophy this year, if it is not Cam Newton, he will be an imposture. The person holding it will know it, the country will know it and it will be the Heisman that will be defending itself once again. Newton will turn pro, be the number one draft choice, ( Vegas and the NFL are about reality) and making millions, and the winner of this year’s Heisman will be a question on some quiz show offering a million dollars for the correct answer five years from now. The bonus question may be what is the Heisman.

So he’s dense and he cheats. Most college football players are and do. Why should he be any different? This isn’t an Auburn issue. It’s a college football player issue. Have any of you seen OJ’s attempts at writing? One would think he has a diagnosis of MR. Perhaps he does. Yet Southern California legally let him play, and who can blame them?

The solution to this (for all of college football – hardly just for Auburn) is to make football players have the same academic qualifications as all other undergrads (these qualifications are appallingly low at every university in the SEC except for Vanderbilt, and appallingly low at nearly every BCS institution nationally). What is undergrad school, really, other than playschool?

We could still have college football. The only difference is that it would be authentic college football. Or we can continue with this industry (it works for me). But if we do, we can’t hold Cam or other players accountable for not being able to manage academically with honesty.

This Cam Newton thing just smells rotten. from Fla. 13 alleged traffic tickets, with one still open for suspended license( that was the same think C. King was guilty of right..suspended license, that prompted a article about “Richt losing control”). Buying stolen laptops, allegations of cheating at previous school. Allegations of payoffs to play. Too much coming from too many different areas. I think there is going to be more in the coming weeks.

The same issues prompted the AJC( was that you Mark or Jeff) that Richt had lost control of his team. Hell this one kid hit that number at Florida all by his self. But that was in the past you say. We are talking about the now you say.

Two things! One yes he was arrested for HAVING a stolen laptop. He did not steal it. He purchased a stolen laptop. He did not steal anything from someones dorm room. Really, read up on your facts here. Second, in order to be a felon you must be convicted. He was never convicted and ALL charges were dropped. Therefore, the kid has no felony record! He has admitted to making mistakes. Let the kid learn from those and grow as a person.

South GA Dawg- you make UGA look real brilliant! Let’s not cast stones just yet. Don’t mention standards! Yall are far from the top when it comes to having standards.

Let’s let this all play and then come back when there is really something to talk about!

All colleges have cheaters, that’s nothing new. Hell if I recall correctly I’m not even sure Deion Sanders was enrolled in classes for part of his time at FSU! Let’s also not forget that these are KIDS! Kids will be kids and make mistakes. Some of them will be bigger than others. No one is perfect and that is how we learn and grow as a person. When all this comes and there is guilt found, then by all means, throw your stones. Until then, lets finish playing some awesome football that we have left this year!

Sanford Drive – I checked the records on the link, and that is pretty amazing. The guy must have some kind of ADDHD to miss all of those red lights and traffic control devices. Passing in a no passing zone, driving at “unspecified speed” and 3x not carrying his license. The felony must have been for the laptop incident. Maybe he transferred from Florida to escape the long arm of the law.

My record includes only citations for speeding (50mph in a 40 mph zone) twice; one in NJ in 1978 and the other in GA in 1988. 2 different states, so I’m not considered a serial offender.

@Glenn: All of the incidences you just mentioned not only (allegedly) occurred BEFORE Cam was at Auburn, but also aren’t proven. The laptop thing was a misunderstanding and he was exonerated. And the cheating scandal that has erupted is complete BS spewing from the mouth of an idiotic and irresponsible Fox Sports.com reporter. Proving Cam cheated means someone violated federal privacy laws, which means big trouble for other people down the pipe. That aside, don’t you believe in redemption, and that the road to said redemption, should someone choose that path, shouldn’t be so rocky? This kid is flourishing and thriving at Auburn. He has been nothing but compliant and honest since being at Auburn. Maybe they didn’t take good care of him in Florida and didn’t encourage honesty and discipline in their players. Who knows? I’m not one to say. But at Auburn, Cam is handling things in the right and just way, AND he’s actually making a difference in the community! Plus, guess what? He’s still the best all-around player in the country! People need to lay off this kid and give him the respect he deserves. He’s not dishonoring Auburn in any way. He is the farthest thing away from a diva or a thug. He’s being targeted for no good reason other than it makes for good talk on message boards like this one. The Auburn family knows what’s up and we stand with Cam. War Eagle.

Double standard applied here by many:

Dawgs get arrested…throw away the key.
Florida kicks Newton out for serious allegations and he stays in conference because Auburn looks the other way…..but “I’m not swayed”. “Georgia has no room to talk”…right!

UGA players are suspended for moped violations, suspended licenses, speeding tickets, drinking beer, etc. The one major offense committed caused a player to be kicked out of school. Bradley and others here call for an examination of what CMR’s recruiting practices are and who is going after. He has lost control in his and other’s opinions on here.

But Auburn admits a known cheater (3 times) and a guy who is a thief and obstructed justice and wink wink…”it doesn’t sway me”. Uf for once grows a conscience and cut him loose. Then they compromise themselves and let “stalker boy” Rainey play and make major contributions. No problem.

Now the player removed at UGA is getting scholly offers from Bama, LSU, etc. Amazing. UGA is falling apart but Auburn and Uf are saintly. Thanks for the lesson here Bradley and others…If you’re winning…the player and program are off the hook….but lose games and you’re coach should be shown the door and UGA is worse off than those guys.

That’s a load of crap! And everyone on here knows it!

Newton, Rainey and UGA’s removed player should not be allowed to play in the SEC again. One is a theif, cheater and liar. The other is someone who threaten defenseless women that they will kill them. The other is a groper. But if they play for a winner…its ok. They are fantastic…Way to go Bradley!

There was a line of universities waiting … no there was a line of schools bidding on his enrollment into there school.

He did not go to UGA because they would not commit to him that he would be a QB.

He was arrested for purchasing a stolen laptop, not stealing it. This was 2 years ago.

He’s been accused of cheating at UF. Again, this was 2 years ago.

We have one guy claiming that another guy told him that he was representing Newton and that he would play for MSU for $180K. Now guy #2 claims he hasn’t talked to guy #1 in 20 years. No proof of this hearsay claim has been offered by ANYONE. The kid volunteers every Monday at the local elmentary school. Does that sound like a guy who’s only willing tp play if he gets $200K.

No doubt the kid has screwed up in the past. Maybe he’s cleaned his act up. Wouldn’t that be a good story? NONE of any of this happened at AU anyway.

Ten teams have tried to stop him so far, and ten teams have failed. Sounds a lot like someone out there is looking for new and “creative” ways to stop him.

I remember in the early 90s when Florida Assistant coach Ron Zook paid off a Tennessee Assistant named Jack Sells to fax Tennessee’s plays and defensive schemes to Florida the week before the game and they caught him in the act at the local Kinkos in Knoxville. To think Florida is trying to say they are either above cheating or allowing a player to cheat in school is ridiculous.

Seems like Urban still can’t get over the loss of Tebow and every week he sees Newton tearing it up only twists the knife further. How else does this get out if it didn’t come from Florida. Sour Grapes, get over it Urban!

Do some of you not know what DIVERSION is?? The ONLY way the kid could even go through it is he had to have no arrests before. period. Now did he do dirt before and just not get caught, maybe. But for him to be where he is right now after where he grew up… I’d say it’s not that bad. You want to blame him for BUYING a stolen laptop (which by the way LOTS of college kids do) but have no concern for the one who actually SOLD it to him??

Honestly, the SEC needs to change:

(1) Kick out Vandy and Mississippi State. They do NOT fit the SEC profile: Vandy uses students as players, and Mississippi State doesn’t cheat enough in recruiting
.
(2) Withdraw from FBS College Football. There’s nothing “college” at all about the SEC.

(3) Start their new NFL “minor league” by making public and equalizing the SEC Salary Cap. Some years, it really IS hard to tell whether ‘Bama or Arkansas is paying the higher salaries.

(4) Ignore, … or even promote … the ridiculous number of player arrests from these teams. The Fulmer Cup could set up new rules to say that it is NOW exclusive to SEC teams. No use in letting amateurs compete for an award for which the SEC teams have demonstrated such dominance and professionalism.

(5) Withdraw from NCAA and let the players sign endorsement deals. There’s no reason that A.J. GREENbucks shouldn’t be able to eBay his jersey for a few thousand bucks.

(6) Have one redeeming program that the players must contribute too. Since SEC players don’t take school seriously, they should be required to document community service hours (since they don’t log any real academic hours majoring in profoundly meaningful studies like “Social Awareness”). NOTE: This should be in ADDITION TO the community service hours they’re assigned after their arrests and convictions.

Seriously, the SEC should just give up the charade of “college” football and become what they really want to be: The NFL minor league.

Yes, Auburn has been on probation quite a bit in the past. Kinda makes you think they would go out of their way to make sure it doesn’t happen again, especially regarding recruits. It’s common knowledge that Auburn knew about the laptop (which he bought, he didn’t take it) and it’s a pretty good bet Auburn knew about these allegations of cheating as well. As they have said all along, he is eligible to play and play at Auburn

So, Newton isn’t a great student. It cost him his career at Florida, and now everyone knows it. Hmmmm, I wonder if that happens at any other major college athletic programs?

Anyone who thinks that is dreaming. No one has blown us out yet. It is obvious that Cam has done some things that were not correct, but has he done enough not to play?

Didn’t Thayer Evans who broke the story for FOX sports used to work for the New York Times and I believe Urban Meyers and he and Pete Thamel were all friends. Thamel and Evans have had a direct line to Urban for years and inside news on the program and practices and would often be Urban Meyer’s news leak when he wanted stuff to get out about an opponent or whatever. This goes back to there days at the NYT and there are many examples of Urban using these two to get info out.

Urban, get over it! Tebow is gone and Newton has reemerged as the best player in CFB no thanks to you. Urban really comes of as the real sleazeball in all of this by leaking everything to the media. Everyone who has followed Urban over the years knows of his links to Thamel and Evans at the NYT and they leaked the story. Not ot mention it is against the law to release academic records of any student to the media. Now Urban lies about it? Could this be the beginning of the end for Urban by breaking the law? Urban could have just let the kid go and wish him luck but now it looks as if he may have left a trail that will prove he leaked information about academic records illegally to the media!

I think this whole sordid mess is disgusting and I think Fox Sports has sunk to a terrible low! These allegations are unsubstantiated and made by off-the-record sources. I believe that a reporter has a duty to obtain at least one on-record source before releasing a news article or column that makes such negative statements against an individual player.

Further, the laptop issue is a matter of public record. The charges were dropped for many reasons, but a prime one is that the charge against him was purchasing stolen property. This is a charge that rarely goes to trial because the heart of the charge has to include evidence that the person charge knew ahead or time, or had reasonable basis, to know the article being sold was stolen.

The main point being that this young man was never charged with theft, which it seems some people have concluded was the case. But like I wrote, this is the only verified issue covered in the Fox Sports story. Everything else is heresay from off-the-record sources.

The young man is playing college football. That’s a pathetic reason to sully someone!

Good article Mark and badly needed.All this has done is prove to me the lack of ethics and professional conduct in some segments of the media, particularly with Thayer Evans with ESPN. His cruelty and vindetta attitude has been obvious for some reason and so has it been with others as well. It seems that journalism now deals with accusations and rumor rather than in fact and that’s so unfortunate for a kid like Cam Newton, who probably hasn’t done anything wrong since leaving Forida. BTW, Florida officials came out today and denied that there was any record of any academic fraud or wrongdoing on Cam’s part at Florida, but I suppose Evans will not retract his comments despite the fact that he’s obviously wrong. There should be some avenue of retribution to these irresponsible character assassinators.

As far as the RACIST comments about Tebow, is that TEBOW graduated, and has CLASS unlike you Jake Sneed, you MORON! Tebow will and will always be the best ever to play the game. He never cheated or got into trouble with the law, and BTW, he played with heart and, made his grades on his own. BTW, he GRADUATATED, unlike Newton will and a lot of other Thugs that play college football.

Enough Said!!!!

SEC Fan – Pete Thamel of the New York Times wrote an article the same day the ESPN story broke. Thamel reported it straight: the fact that allegations had been made. He did not accuse Newton of anything. I don’t know anything about Thayer Evans, who you mentioned, but Thamel doesn’t practice yellow journalism, at least not in the year that I’ve been following his nytimesdotcom college sports articles.

Why has there been no interview with Kenny Rodgers?

Rogers says he hasn’t spoken to Bond in 20 years. So, either Rogers is lying or John Bond is lying. Someone needs to figure out which one is lying.

Bill Toomer – “Rogers says he hasn’t spoken to Bond in 20 years. So, either Rogers is lying or John Bond is lying. Someone needs to figure out which one is lying.”

Bond said on the Belue and Kincade show that he hasn’t spoken to Rogers in 28 years.

Yellow journalism, I don’t know, but it is getting to a point.

Pete Thamel with Ray Glier in a New York Times article today, headlined “Newton Faced Suspension at Florida” said “The redemptive narrative of Auburn quarterback Cam Newton, the front-runner for the Heisman Trophy, has taken another turn.” That was the lead statement.

The rest of the article relates to “a person briefed on Newton’s situation” with regard to the FoxSportsdotcom story on academic cheating, and Cam Newton not responding to the Florida situation, Ceecil Newton saying that he is under a gag order.

The article quotes Urban Meyer: “Urban Meyer said: “Our entire focus right now is on preparing for our biggest game of the year against South Carolina. For anyone to think that I or anyone on our staff may have leaked information about private student records to the media doesn’t know us very well. It’s a ridiculous claim and simply not true.”

And a summation of who has said what to who of the story. Nothing else really new or earth-shattering.

“Bond’s attorney confirms to TMZ Sports that the FBI has requested a sit-down meeting with his client — and tells us the agent who contacted him said, “We are interested in whether young men are being shopped to colleges.”

Why the FBI? I guess it once could have been be a federal crime under the Mann Act if athletes were transported across state lines for immoral purposes, but that act has been amended by Congress to apply to specific acts that can’t be mentioned here.

I expect Bond’s lawyer will carefully control any answers to the FBI’s questions.

I forgot which clown mentioned UGA and standards in the same response. But, there were actually a few of you…

So, who better to comment on UGA standards and leadership other than Damon Evans.

I am sure Damon and Courtney could set the record staright on topics like standards, class, leadership, responsibility, image, etc.

I guess that’s all in the day of being a Dawg And I guess nights too…

That is a true Dawg right thar!

floribama – Quoting from that link: “Bond isn’t a source — he’s a gossip. He doesn’t have information. He has a rumor. He’s the fourth person in a game of telephone tag that started with Rogers — allegedly — and went through two other people before landing in the lap of Mississippi State devotee John Bond.”

Like I said earlier, John Bond isn’t 007, he doesn’t really have any credentials other than being a former QB/now booster, who grew up 3 houses down from Belue. I heard the discussion between him, Belue and Kincade that was mentioned in the article. He apparently thought he knew enough of something to report this thing to the now-ex-AD at Miss. St. last year.

Great article…I keep wondering why haven’t we heard the alleged phone conversation where the Newtons request “something more” from MSU…probably because there isn’t one. BTW in other news I had a phone conversation with Elvis. Let me know if you want that story Mark.
