OT: Cam Newton may be in some trouble

Wow, I didn't think the NCAA would be so aggressive on this. If there are recordings, he's done & so is Auburn.

So that makes LaMichael the front runner for the Heisman then. It would suck to have him "earn" it that way, but I think he deserves it.

 

Supposedly they gave this information over to the SEC and NCAA back in January.

 

Well, homeboy wasn't a Heisman candidate back then. Can you imagine how many of these cases are probably slid under the rug? It's very likely that a lot of players are paid off, and the NCAA doesn't have the manpower or the money to investigate every case. They probably don't want the public to know how bad the problem is either. The only reason why this particular case is coming to light is because Miss State is starting to raise a stink over it.

 

The SEC is the sleaziest conference in the country. I'm sure there's all kinds of cheating that goes on there.

 

all good college players are compensated in some way, and rightfully so.

 

I've assumed that from the part where it says,

"admitted in separate phone conversations"

"Mississippi State compliance officials relayed the alleged conversations"

It seems to me that Mississippi State recorded it or transcribed it or something.

 

the following is a forum comment copy and pasted from another chatsite... they claim it's going to drop on ESPN and the rest today or tomorrow

STOMP

 

Holy cow...

 

If true, the NCAA needs to go SMU on Auburn.

 

Cam Newton should be the least of Auburn's worries. all wins this year will be vacated. But they might give the university the short-version death penalty (SMU style)... though they would then be responsible for a lot more unemployment and revenue in Auburn, Alabama. But hey, it wasn't their choice to give it out, Auburn forced their hand.

Now I kind of DONT want to play Auburn in the title, though I think you'd have like 80% of the country voting for us and Auburn being the "bad guy".

 

The thing that would suck is if we were set to play Auburn and then Cam Newton was deemed ineligible. Beating a Cam-less Auburn wouldn't be much of an accomplishment.

 

My boss's brother sells athletic equipment to universities. When he goes to schools like Texas, Alabama, Ohio State, USC... the athletes all drive Lexus, BMW... When he goes to places like Washington State, Western Michigan, Rice... they drive 20 year old vehicles missing doors...

The way it's done is their girl friends are "lent" vehicles. And, if they just happen to let their boy friends drive them, well, so be it.

 

He drives a scooter!

 

Or gets paid $50,000 to "endorse" it.

 

What a dork!

 

Better than waiting for the bus though. :]

 

That's debatable. There's only a few places in the world where it's acceptable to ride a scooter.
