NCAA: Cam Newton eligible

[RandomFan]

Where is this implication that Auburn offered money? I have not seen that. Also, what's this tigerbait thing? I haven't heard about that either.

After Newton committed to Auburn, another source said an emotional Cam Newton phoned another recruiter to express regret that he wouldn't be going to Mississippi State, stating that his father, Cecil, had chosen Auburn for him because "the money was too much."

I'm not sure what the Tigerbait thing is...

Tigerbait is about how a member of the Auburn Board of Trustees, Bobby Lowder, who's bank took $2 billion in bailout money and then folded a few months later has a history of medaling with the School for political gain and personal profit. Read all about it here:

Purely speculation, but if it were true, Auburn would lose their accreditation.

And even Royce White. Cant play but he never played a minute at Minny.

They got this one right. He transferred. He has to sit out a year. Whether or not he played shouldn't matter.

Lucca they screwed.

They screwed up the Cam Newton thing.

Someone wanna go find the top recruits so I can get started on offering money to their handlers so they get steered here? Should be legal, right?

Please don't. ISU would get its arse pounded into oblivion if it was our school that was caught in this scenario (yeah, I know, sarcasm.)

See, I was always under the impression that he was telling MSU that the money they were offering was just too much, but I probably misinterpretted that. In these cases I just have a large amount of trouble taking someones word on this. I feel this was brough to attention because someone from MSU was sour that they missed out on the potential Heisman winner. It doesn't make anything right or wrong but when a school who is in the same conference and recruits the same guy then come back and incriminated themselves to make Auburn look bad, it really makes me wonder about their credibility.

"The NCAA released its finding in a statement Wednesday. The college sports governing body had concluded on Monday that a violation of Newton's amateur status had occurred. Auburn declared Newton ineligible on Tuesday and requested his eligibility be reinstated. Newton has been cleared to compete without conditions. . . . Said Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs: "We are pleased that the NCAA has agreed with our position that Cam Newton has been and continues to be eligible to play football at Auburn University. We appreciate the diligence and professionalism of the NCAA and its handling of this matter."

So, on the one hand Auburn declares him ineligible, then they also claim that he is eligible. Why declare him ineligible if you think he is eligible? It only makes sense if you are posturing yourself so that you appear to be complying and taking a hard line that the NCAA softens.

I'm from Chicago and the Daley Machine couldn't do a better job of manipulating the system. Everything the NCAA gained by penalizing Bush just got reversed. This is such a crock, but an extremely well-played crock. Too bad it isn't going to work. Once the season is over, the NCAA will conclude its investigation and come down on him, but not during the season. Sissies. I can't believe how complicit the NCAA seems in this.

Auburn allowed someone to play when they had evidence that he was ineligible. That makes them complicit in his ineligibility. Auburn seems like it is trying to cover itself by "declaring him ineligible" which is what they should have done as soon as they discovered the matter.

I'm waiting to hear from Charles Barkley. Seriously, he is a straight shooter. I would expect him to see right through this. Unfortunately for Cam Newton (and great for Chizik), Auburn and his dad have screwed a great athlete. He will land on his feet in the NFL.

Now, what about all those other guys, like the ISU players, who get screwed (not "reinstated") by the NCAA? They are the ones who can't land on their feet like Newton will in the NFL.

That and the FBI can gather evidence a lot easier than they NCAA. Who cares if you lie to the NCAA but if you lie to the FBI you go to jail. There is a reason these investigations take so long and it is because the NCAA has no legal authority. It doesn't hurt one bit to lie to the NCAA unless you get caught (Dez Bryant).

Bruce Pearl and his ugly outfits approve of this message.

Jay Jacobs is a slimeball. Isn't it funny how on Tuesday Auburn finally figured out that Cam Newton was ineligible and they declared him so when this information has been out there for almost a year now? The NCAA absolutely let them off of the hook. Auburn is a very dirty program and they know exactly how to play the game. GC was the perfect hire as he isn't smart enough to figure out that when the FBI and the NCAA figure out what is going on down on the plains that he is going to be the one taking the fall all by himself.

One loss by Auburn takes care of it all.

Go Gamecocks!

Hell yes

My question is this: Why would the FBI get involved unless there is something more serious than NCAA violations going on. To me, it seems like this might end up being about more than football.

Money laundering?

Supposedly there's a LOT more going on with Auburn and Lowder than just NCAA violations. So bad that Auburn's accreditation may be on the line. Auburn loses it's accreditation - goodbye SEC. Like the Big 10, the SEC is more than just an athletic conference.

[Tre4ISU]

SO Auburn no is involved with money laundering, fixed slot machines, and fraud. Nice. Down with Bobby Lowder. It couldn't happen to a better guy.
