The FBI investigation into the cash for Cam Newton scandal now involves a guy who gave more than $1 million to Auburn University ... and was recently arrested in a bribery sting.

According to sources connected to the probe ... FBI agents looking into the Newton recruiting controversy are also asking about Milton McGregor -- a dog track owner arrested last month for allegedly bribing Alabama politicians to vote pro gambling.

We're told agents asked someone connected to the Newton case if he was familiar with McGregor or the bribery scandal.

It's unclear what, if any, direct connection McGregor has to Newton. Back in 2008, McGregor did donate a million bucks toward construction of a new arena at Auburn.

McGregor did not return a call for comment.

That was my first thought. I'm guessing they got a hold of Bond or Rogers to see what kind of questions the FBI was asking.

TMZ is usually pretty credible contrary to popular belief. Maybe this was the news that was being alluded to by a lot of people...

Finebaum dropped hints of this yeaterday and today. Yesterday he slipped "Victoryland" out before a commercial. Today he said "Milton McGregor" before a commercial break today. Sly Fox!

Finebaum knew this was coming out today.

He has said "Milton McGregor" twice today, out of nowhere, out of context, and for no reason at all.
