Cam Newton to be suspended by NCAA (waiting on confirmation)

What a waste of $200k.

Re: Cam Newton to be suspended by NCAA

Who should the NCAA be punishing, the people spending the money on recruits or the recruits who receive the money? It is certainly unethical for the recruits to accept any money, but it is purely reactive to suspend the player, as opposed to being proactive about curbing such transactions from taking place at all.

It is unfortunate for Cam Newton that the best way to punish Auburn is to deny him eligibility to play. However, the kid will still get a job in the pros. Look at Michael Vick; if a guy who engaged in those sorts of activities can find a job in the NFL, I have to think Newton's less morally questionable activities won't be punished by a destroyed future.

Because it is not illegal for the boosters to spend that money. It is only against NCAA rules.

Though Chizik left this program in shambles, his leaving is obviously turning out to be a positive. The less I find myself being ****** at him for leaving the way he did.

Doesn't mean I won't enjoy it when he crashes and burns.

If it wasn't such a hilarious way to crash and burn, I don't think I'd care like I do.

Chizik's record at Auburn could soon be about as good as it was here.

And, Chuck, your point was?

So after they vacate their wins this year.. Chizik actually did BETTER at Iowa State than Auburn?

 

[isuno1fan]

So does this elevate LSU back into the conversation if it goes down?

Well, Cam Newton just became TCU's best friend because I don't see Auburn staying undefeated without him.

Hahahahahahaha ha ha ha hahhaha yes!

Bye Bye Cam Newton, and bye bye Chizzzz.

Will they get their wins taken away now?

The won't touch Chiz much likeUSC didn't touch Carrol.

Re: Cam Newton to be suspended by NCAA

The won't touch Chiz much likeUSC didn't touch Carrol.

Because Chiz has an NFL job waiting for him to run away to?

 

[Chizit]

Auburn, you have officially been chizzed.

 

[ISUcy08]

Re: Cam Newton to be suspended by NCAA

Is Chizz really to blame here?

It seems that most coaches are pulling a post-Nixon mentality by turning blind eyes in regards to players/agents/boosters. This is a system crash of blue screen proportions.

I don't think so. But it's damn funny!

This is my question. What are the BCS implications here? Is LSU now undefeated?

I don't think so, they still lost, but Auburn now has a 0-0 record.

This rumor may be getting some legs:

Some of the casinos have taken this game off the book.

So your saying they that they are undefeated???

What if they still win out?

Actually, in some states it is. It was reported that in the case of Bush, USC could have gone after the person that gave him the money. I don't know if Alabama has the same laws, but if they do and the NCAA comes down on Auburn, it could be an option. That's the only way that this stuff goes away. Someone needs to go after the people supplying the money.

Remember the fans yelling "We want a leader, not a loser!"?

Wasn't Paul Rhoads one of the names they threw out as an alternative? I know they yelled Turner Gill.

That video might be worth finding again.
