Even if he didnt know (which is 1000% ABSURD) should that matter? He got paid to play and gets re-instated because his scum bag dad will say he didnt know about it?

***alert***
ncaa not gonna fuck itself in the ass.
don't know if cam knew, but if the ncaa knew that cam knew, theyre hiding that shit for 3 years. just a bunch of rich old men getting richer off a bunch of black 18 year-olds. and that sound radical but its the fucking truth.
wanna be ballas?
shot callas?
brawlers?
it's all about the benjamins.
baby.
edit: and can you imagine what these motherfuckers do everyday? get up, go to brunch at a country club, have a few knob creeks, play 18 holes, catch your whored-out plastic wife fucking the pool boy, fuck your slut whore, get drunker, use a few racial epithets, kiss the right ass, deposit check, rinse, repeat. -
Whole situation stinks to high hell. LOL at Cam not having any clue what his father was doing, C'MON MAN!!

who tha fuck cares? i watched lamichael james play when he was 17, you could tell then and now that the kid could be at the least, returning kicks on sunday in the nfl for 7 figures. why the fuck does he have to make some old men more money. its a goddamn profit game, fuck these old fucks. fuck the ncaa. fuck the bcs. fuck texas. fuck aTm. fuck auburn. fuck the big 10. i hope tcu wins the national championship. -
This is such a joke that the NCAA should just light their rulebook on fire.
They just took a heisman away from Reggie Bush and put USC on a death sentence, what......in....the.....fuck..... -
I seriously don't understand wtf is going on here. It seems like Reggie Bush and Cam Newton both have greedy parents, but somehow USC gets fucked and Auburn gets a pass? It wouldn't surprise me if Auburn ends up getting fucked in a few years, but the NCAA just wants to see an Auburn/Oregon NC game this year.

This was my thinking as well. They might penalize them later, but if they do it now, TCU get in the championship game. And they dont want that.
Pretty much bullshit -
I agree with this and I think everyone else pretty much has the same thought. However, I feel like screwing Auburn in '04 has a little bit to play here too.

AJ Green sold his own jersey for $1000 and suspended.
Dez Bryant got nervous and lied when questioned about his workouts with Deion, which turned out to be perfectly fine, and was suspended. -
He's the best college player in the nation.. true story
-
just pay them already
-
pretty standard imo. ncaa is starting the compete with the wnba as the biggest joke in sports.
-
Some kid from USC was suspended last week for a golf cart ride. Cam just pocketed 180k and plays.
-
don't worry, Auburn will get it eventually, hopefully it doesn't take 5 yrs like USC.

They will eventually but its still fucked.
The big difference in Cam and Reggie is that they didnt talk about Reggie getting paid all year long and then let him play... I understand that tons of NCAA players get paid but when you KNOW they got paid it shouldnt matter if they can deny knowing. I will not watch the 'ship if thetyre in it.
And about the $$, do you really think that giving Auburns BCS slot to the next person would hurt the ratings in notable fashion.
I guess im so upset bc i like to pretend that college sports are still for the love and shit like this just proves that no one has passion for their sport anymore... -
A friend who is an alumni of Miss St. sent me this email from some of his friends w/i that institution. Take it FWIW -- I'm copying it directly from the email:
Reading some of this Cam Newton stuff, it sounds like there is lots of smoke from lots of different, independent sources, including from FBI wire taps involving gambling, money-laundering, political corruption, etc. http://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/m...asp?p=22778676
Amazing stuff, more than I had time to digest, but a small sample:
The 2010 Class, built primarily on the efforts of Trooper Taylor (as per AU Football Media Propaganda), miraculously lands the #1 players from Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, as well as the #1 JUCO signee in Cam Newton. Why the turnaround, when their previous season only netted a 7-5 regular season record (3-5 SEC), along with an overtime win against Northwestern on New Years Day.
Jump Forward to 2010. Cecil’s Church suddenly “Rises from the Dead” (no pun intended) and is no longer involved in condemnation proceedings with Local Authorities. Chris Low, Pat Forde, and Others at ESPN, comment on how Newton’s Church and home are meager, but he drives up for the interview in a $60,000 truck less than a year old?
This goes way beyond Cam. They say the FBI, while monitoring the Bingo mess in Montgomery and also investigating the misappropriation of TARP funds by Colonial Bank, uncovered many, many things. Such things include guaranteed winning slot machines for AU players at Milt’s (Colonial Board member, AU Booster) Casino, unmarked ATM cards issued to AU players from Colonial Bank (Bobby Lowder-AU Board Member and Booster; Pat Dye-Colonial Board member, AU employee and Booster), forgiven loans to families, friends, donors, etc.
If true, big time jail time, loss of SACS accreditation which means expulsion from the SEC, huge financial implications for AU, removal of Dye’s name from the field and so on. -
It was pretty damn close.

Only being able to travel 46 players in a game earlier this season is terrible.
Another 20 scholarships over the next 2 years. For a powerhouse that USC was, it might as well be death. -
Lol @ all this nonsense, none of you have any idea what is really going on so you can't comment. You are just biased by what the media puts out there. None of the true facts will ever be here so forget it. and BTW it is 100% plausible that Cam has no knowledge of what is father does. I'm not sure how you can say a 19 yr old is not ignorant when he has spent his whole entire life being told what to do. He has never had fiscal or any other kind of responsibility such as bills or even cooking for himself for that matter.

How could he know what is transpiring between boosters and his father's bank accounts (if true). For people to blame Cam is unreal and I guararentee that the NCAA realizes this after its thorough investigation. Thats why they made the decision they did and we are stuck reading the media's comments on something they are looking at from the outside in. -

be more delusional -
In response to UCBANANA: I read that whole entire post and I got from it 1 thing
That the people behind the scenes, i.e. Boosters, board members, coaches, parents etc... are the ones responsible and not a 19 yr old kid who plays football. If everyone thoroughly reads that email than they will agree
Lol ok, I'm glad you spend your life entrenched and surrounded by falsivities being provided by the media and never go out to find facts on your own.
I played college football, I my parents were paid a solid amount each semester and didnt' even find out about it until the end of my freshmen year. Don't be ignorant in your statements. It is possible that Cam knew but just as likely he had no clue. Go watch the ESPN "60 for 60" on Marcus DuPree... he had people in the background controlling his every decision for him, that involved monetary responsibilities and school decisions as well, all he wanted to do was play football and he got screwed because of it. -
so then the program should still be punished. just not cam individually.
-
since when did it matter if he knew or not?
I was under the impression pay-for-play meant no-play. Are you really trying to say that when this story ends Cam will be in the clear?
Obvs comes from scum so i dont blame him personally but i doubt the apple tree made an orange....
Scum makes scum makes scum......................... -
Every single superstar in college is getting paid. Its a fact. Just live with it. Who gives a fuck anymore. They should be getting paid by the NCAA anyhow.
