SCAM Newton & Awbarn WILL go down in flames after the FBI investigation is complete. They will get beat by USC before that by 10 points. Of course….I could be wrong.

Mark,

No one would ask questions about the game. You know that. I’m looking forward to the game and rooting for Cam and Auburn. Cam because he’s exciting and Auburn because I’m a fan of the SEC.

I want Auburn to win Saturday because I can’t stand South Carolina and I’d like to see another SEC National Champion, but this is all going to end terribly. It will come out that Cam was paid. So then who gets the SEC title if they win? South Carolina? Really? By far not the best team. Auburn football is going down and that smiling qb could careless. He’s off to get a real check. So conceited. Sometimes I feel bad for Auburn fans, but hey, you get what you pay for.

Mike Slive and the SEC have too much money at stake to allow sCam to be investigated now. While all of the facts presented on the epic “As the Plains Burn” thread on TigerDroppings.com may be true, Slive and the NCAA are in fear of what the reality of these allegations would do to now only the Barn but the SEC as well. Millions of $ lost, and we all know NCAAF is all about the money.

Ted M, would you “care about the recruiting crap” if it were happening at Bama?!?! Of course you would. Cheating is cheating is cheating. And it has to be dealt with or else you can stick a fork in college football. I’ll venture to say that many schools bend the rules. But Auburn has taken it to levels that boggle the mind. All in an attempt to be seen as “as good as Bama”. From all of the WDE’s I hear from Aubies, I’m not sure most of you realize how serious this is.

For the life of me, I can’t figure out why this has become the story that it is. To this point, there is no indication of money being paid to Newton. If evidence surfaces to that effect, then we have something. But until then, to me this seems like nothing but talk and empty promises.

Mark, is it true that Auburn knew about these issues this summer? If they did, they surely would have investigated it and would not have let him play if there was more fire than smoke.

I have to disagree with anyone who says that the NCAA will not bring the facts to light that the FBI and their own investigation uncovers. They have to. The facts will come out and if the NCAA has buried them because of money, they will no longer be an effective governing body. They’ll release the findings and they’ll have to punish accordingly. And what punishment can you delve out to a program with as many major inftactions as AU that will make them finally adhere to the rules?

I have to admit, my Gators were right to let that Laptop-stealing thug go. I know for a fact Coach Meyer did not pay Cam like Miss State offered to and Auburn did.

Let’s see here: Kenny Rogers is a street agent that’s trying to stay out of jail in Mississippi for extortion and passing bad checks. He’s already changed his story three times. Did Bond and Rogers discuss the alleged Newton deal or haven’t they talked in 20 years? Both can’t be true.

Even Rogers with all his lying has said he knows of no connection to Auburn.

A good story in the Houston Chronicle exposed the lie about Newton’s acadenic problems at Florida. And guess what? That article has actual sources that are willing to give their names and job titles, not some imaginary “anonymous source”.

This whole thing has gone much better since Auburn started “no commenting” the press. Auburn and Cam Newton should continue that, considering the odd twists and lack of concern for the truth that some “journalists” have demonstrated.

There is no investigation of Auburn University’s recruitment of Cam Newton. You guys need to accept that. If there is a problem, MSU has that problem.

We get that you don’t like Coach Chizik’s interview style and policies. I suggest the AJC should get someone else to cover his pressers.

Reinstatement decisions are independent of the NCAA enforcement process and typically are made once the facts of the student-athlete’s involvement are determined. The reinstatement process is likely to conclude prior to the close of an investigation.

Aubie, being eligible is not the same thing as having integrity. I have no problem with him playing football, I have a problem with him receiving a reward when he has shown a clear pattern of dishonestly. Cheating, stealing, etc. BTW, in case you don’t understand what the word integrity means, he is not it. Not rumors of dishonestly, being found guilty. Yes, charges were dropped only after he completed what was court ordered. The fact that it was 2 years ago does not change that. Yes, we all make mistakes but not all of us think it is ok to steal at any age. Is he really the example you think we should set for our kids?

The NCAA, Auburn and MSU have agreed that Cecil Newton and Kenny Rodgers were shopping Cam around. Cam was declared ineligible on Monday. He has now been declared eligible – “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”.
The full press release (link and extract below) is less than a full vindication of Auburn and Cam Newton.

“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.”

The ONLY reason the FBI was involved was because of the corruption between Milton McGregor/VictoryLand and the buying of gambling/casino votes from the State of Alabama politicians. McGregor could have EASILY been a booster for Bama. His affitliation with Auburn is NOT the reason for the investigation. Now, if you REALLY want to dig deep, most of those good ole’ boys down in the Montgomery courthouse ARE Crimson Tide supporters generations DEEP! So while you THINK you know what’s going on, be careful what you wish for. Those politicians have their own booster connections in Tuscaloosa and once the FBI is done, you’re likely to see heads roll all the way from the Montgomery Capitol Courthouse and all the way to Tuscaloosa.

Slow down all you bickering idiots…..The real investigation has just started. The NCAA has no real investigative power. You can “no comment” those guys with no real consequences to you individually. Yes, they can interview coaches and players etc., but big deal. Just wait until the FBI starts asking more and more questions. You better answer, and it better be accurate. No one is going to prison for lying to the FBI just to cover up a little recruiting violation. The FBI doesnt give a damn about football or a bowl game. They have bigger things they are looking at, and they will take their time doing an investigation. You heard it here….By the time this is over Cam Newton will be in the NFL, and he will personally admit that he was paid to go to Auburn, and the complete story will go down as the worst black eye in college sports history because Auburn is going to have more problems than just paying CAM. They will eventually get the death penalty. I have nothing against Auburn. I just know a little more about whats going on than the rest of you loud mouths.

Its amazing how many awbarn fans there suddenly are (jumping on the bandwagon in full force are we?) before this game. And whats up with hating on the gamecocks? Sounds like a lot of little Georgia boys and girls are weawwy upset that there sucky team got waxed all year. I know it hurts ladies but don’t worry, next year will be worse. The gamecocks have all of their starters coming back to pound the puppies into the dirt. Again. Meanwhile, we’ll handle the kitties on Saturday. So sit back, relax, go to home depot, or watch reruns of hee-haw, the best team in the sec will take care of awbarn on sat.

SO…he was ineligible for one day ? What a crock….

Everyone knows the AJ Green situation was a farse… the NCAA couldn’t allow there to be a precedence for athletes all over the country to start making money off their jerseys. He should have been forced to turn over any proceeds to charity and received a smack on the wrist. The whole thing was VERY cut-and-dry, but the NCAA abused its authority to make a point.

Cam’s situation is not at all cut-and-dry. His Father’s a greedy cult leader and a hypocrite if the professes to do “God’s work”. Cam’s a glory-monger, but no worse than Peyton Manning or Desmond Howard were. Cam just plays… and he plays well. I don’t know why he came to AU, but his Daddy probably wanted him nearby, he wanted good offensive players around him, a top-notch OC in Malzahn, and a place that desparately needed a star at QB. There’s no way it was for money because unless it’s cash hiding under a mattress in College Park, it is pretty easy to find a paper trail – especially if it was used to renovate Dad’s Neverland Ranch.

But regardless, what fuels this debate is that those who want to see a star fall from grace will only watch that small point in the sky. I’m happy Cam’s eligible because he’s a great player. If you’re looking to a 21-year old college kid to be your role model… I feel very badly for you. College students are not saints… except maybe at BYU.

As far as the Victoryland guy and Bobby Lowder are concerned… I hope they fry. You will find that despite Lowder’s name above the Business School, many Auburn faithful have nothing positive to say about him.

I’m confused. So, is the investigation still on-going? Is it just waved off that his dad (how did Cameron NOT know) was acting to extort universities and sell his son’s services? How does someone like AJ sit 4 games for selling a shirt for $1000 but Cameron Newton is left available after asking for close to 200 times that amount to play? Something is not right about this. Is the FBI investigating the fact that academic records were released or the recruiting scam that has Tiger prints all over it?

This is so wrong. So AJ sells a jersy and sits 4 games. Cams dad offers his son up for money and gets a 24 hour ineligible status. If there is a question about his status Monday and declared ineligible, then do the previous games count? This opens up a dangerous avenue. Any kid can be paid to play as long as the relative does the talking and he/she claims they never knew anything about it. Bad move by the NCAA.

The only thing UGA excels at is drinking and getting arrested. Keep whining when Cam wins the Heisman and Chizik wins coach of the year and AU wins the national championship.

Rogers approaches Cecil like he does with any and every athlete he comes across that has NFL talent. He says, I can’t guarantee it but I’d like to see if my buddies will help with money for your son. Cecil says, we’ll see where this goes. Rogers makes the calls, nothing comes of it and Cecil moves on. Rogers gets mad that Cam becomes a Tiger and makes it out that Cecil approached him about money when it was the other way around and Cecil never took him seriously.

Fact that Cam was, briefly, ineligible, but yet Auburn has forfeited no games…

The NCAA has ZERO MANDATORY penalties for violations of the amateurism rules. This is FACT. They make the punishment fit the crime.

Here, the athlete did nothing wrong…other than have a father who, in a lapse of reason, did something very, very stupid.

So why was he declared ineligible at all? Well, if Auburn tells Cecil Newton never to set foot on Auburn’s campus, or to keep his distance from all current and future football events, etc., they have to have a damn good reason to do it. Likewise, MSU had to have a legitimate reason to disassociate Kenny Rogers. If either institution had taken that action without justification, they’d have been civilly liable to the parties so dealt with.

What this shows you is that Auburn University has been TOTALLY compliant with this entire process from the beginning, likely in January of 2010 or even earlier…that Auburn University dotted its I’s and crossed its T’s and did a roto-rooter on this whole thing, and when they came back CLEAN, they did the HONORABLE thing and didn’t punish the student athlete involved, and STUCK TO THEIR GUNS.

The NCAA quite clearly has been telling Auburn what would likely transpire, and I have zero doubts that Newton being ruled ineligible one day and being reinstated the next was simply the agreement that the parties reached.

The punishment fit the crime. The responsible parties received a comeuppance. The innocent party in this keeps his good name, his athletic and acamdemic standing, and Auburn Univerty is shown to be a champion of the enforcement process.

That’s not what will be said by those who desire to tear down, to destroy, but that is EXACTLY what happened, without variance.

AU declares Cam INELIGIBLE the Tuesday after their biggest game of the year, when this has been out for a month. Then the NCAA declares him eligible the next day? Sounds fishy to me. AJ Green was held out of UGA’s first game because the NCAA took months to investigate a sold jersey, and still didn’t wrap up the investigation until after the season. But AU declares Cam ineligible on Tuesday and Wednesday morning the NCAA has wrapped up everything. I don’t buy it. NCAA doesn’t want this over the Heisman Trophy and potentially the Championship Game, so this gives AU cover until January.

Whether Cam is cleared by the NCAA or not doesn’t matter since his father admitted to soliciting his son. Because of SEC bylaws regarding improper benefits to student-athletes Cam SHOULD be declared ineligible. But of course since the SEC doesn’t want to lose any money we won’t see anything with regards to that matter until after the season.

“If at any time before or after matriculation in a member institution a student-athlete or any member of his/her family receives or agrees to receive, directly or indirectly, any aid or assistance beyond or in addition to that permitted by the Bylaws of this Conference (except such aid or assistance as such student-athlete may receive from those persons on whom the student is naturally or legally dependent for support), such student- athlete shall be ineligible for competition in any intercollegiate sport within the Conference for the remainder of his/her college career.”

RL, I think the answer to your question about Cam’s eligibility is that while we’re just hearing from the NCAA today, they and AU have been orchestrating the answer for several weeks. Many, many insiders at AU said they believed this was wrapped up when AU, the SEC, and the Newtons met with the NCAA before the UGA game. Given that everyone has lawyers, it isn’t unrealistic to think that it took several days for everyone to get their statements approved for release. Taking into account the Thanksgiving holiday break, and you have something happening this week. Just my opinion, but I don’t think all this just happened over a 24 hour period.

Crazy stuff happens from time to time in college football, like when the Sat Evening Post tried to hang Bear Bryant and Wally Butts with a game fixing phone call. Dunmb that was. Butts was just about washed up by then and and way over the hill and Bear was just starting to do his thing. Alabama did win the game that was involved.

Both coaches sued and won fairly big settlements too.

Scam and his Pa were in knew deep. At the time, they ahd no idea how good AU was going to be so they were short betting it with their neogtiations. Then, they did not know what they know now.

This is a huge problem for AU with the FBI involved. Lie to them and you get jail time. Lie to the NCAA and don’t get caught? Heck, you might win the Heisman and play for the NC and then FURTHER boost your NFL market value.

Either way the Newtons win $$ big. AU? If this ends up being very bad in a criminal sense, AU will get a REVISIT from the SEC and the NCAA and their stadium can be used for the next three years to shoot skeet.

The same suckers that listened with bated breath while LeBron James explained where he’d “take my talents” next season, are also the gullible lemmings who jumped on the “let’s ride Cameron Newton out of college football” train because perception supersedes reality.
Have LeBron and his “talents” won anything since he stepped on the court in the NBA? Of course they haven’t.
Did Newton take money from Auburn or Mississippi State or anyone associated with those universities? No, the NCAA says, he didn’t.
In the everlasting struggle of perception vs. reality, perception goes down like a tall, cold glass of sweet tea. Reality, meanwhile, gets upchucked at every turn.
I’ll refer to the great sage of the 21st century, Josh Bynes, when reflecting on the three weeks of Newton Nonsense.
“Even if you guys were told the truth, you wouldn’t believe it,” said Bynes, Auburn’s star linebacker. “The truth doesn’t sell.”
Sadly, I’m beginning to believe him.
Reaction has replaced reflection in our ever-expanding need for knowledge – truth, lies, rumor, innuendo — in this Twitter-feed world. Last month, when allegations that Cecil Newton shopped his son, Cameron, in a pay-for-play scheme first arose, I wrote that they better be true. And it better lead to Auburn and Newton having accepted money, because if it didn’t, then what?
Now here we are. Cecil and (surprise!) an unscrupulous, would-be “marketer” (see: agent) shopped Cameron, without his knowledge, to Mississippi State. The inference was that if Mississippi State asked for money, you better believe Auburn did, too.
And because Newton was playing for Auburn, because he was the game’s best player and was leading the Tigers on an unthinkable journey to the national title game, well, that must mean he knew of the deal, took the money and would leave Auburn in shambles after the NCAA found out months or years later.
Opinions formed along blurred lines, the gap between truth and innuendo filled with whatever was easiest to run with.
There’s only one problem with this tale: It didn’t exactly play out the way television pundits and talk radio gabmasters, and message board mongers and truth-seeking journalists thought it would. It’s now complete, and whaddya know, Cam Newton is eligible to play.
Save the sanctimonious pleas that the NCAA should have penalized Newton for his father’s actions. Shove them in the same barf bag as the holier-than-thou grandstanding of Heisman Trophy voters proclaiming Newton hasn’t won with “integrity.”
He has, however, won after his team gave up a 24-spot on the road in the toughest place to play in college football. But instead of celebrating all that Newton has accomplished on the field, the truth-seekers are caught up in a swirling drainpipe of what-ifs and could-bes and you-never-knows — and there’s nowhere to go but right down the sewer.
Even a stand-up guy like Pat Haden has been caught up in the mess. Haden, Southern Cal’s athletic director, said Wednesday he was surprised by the NCAA’s ruling on Newton — specifically, that the NCAA didn’t hold Newton accountable for his parent’s actions like it did with Reggie Bush and his stepfather.
His stepfather? Pat, please, let me refresh your memory:
When the NCAA finds that assistant coach Todd McNair had or should have had knowledge of violations involving Bush and his parents; that McNair had communication about a prospective business arrangement with a “marketer” involved with Bush; that McNair provided false information during the investigation, it most certainly calls for 30 lost scholarships and a two-year postseason ban.
What did Josh Bynes say again? Even if you were told the truth, you wouldn’t believe it.
So now the truth is staring us directly in the face. Newton is innocent, and the Heisman Trophy vote is upon us.
Newton should be the biggest winner in the history of the award no matter what happens Saturday in the SEC Championship game. With Newton, Auburn is the best team in the nation. Without him, the Tigers struggle to win seven games.
That’s not perception, that’s reality.

What I don’t like and none of you mention is how the Camburgular lays down every play, showboating, like he’s hurt. Karma is a bitch and he may get to experience the real deal. Maybe he won’t get up so quickly Saturday in Atlanta. Shame. NOT! SOS
