Auburn quarterback Cam Newton was facing possible expulsion from the University of Florida for academic cheating when he transferred to junior college in the spring of 2009, FoxSports.com reported on Monday. Newton, a Heisman Trophy front-runner, is said to have been caught cheating three times, including putting his name on someone else's paper without that student's knowledge. Newton attended Florida in 2007 and 2008 before transferring to Blinn College, a junior college in Texas. Newton decided to leave Florida following a November 2008 arrest after he bought a stolen computer. The charges were dropped last December when he completed a pretrial intervention program for first-time offenders.

Newton was caught after the instructor asked the real author of the paper why he had not turned in his work. Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5783051
