The money changing hands makes no difference in terms of the player's responsibility/knowledge. Disagree with me? Post a link where the NCAA says differently......
Your interpretation of the NCAA's statement is totally without merit.
Let's hypothesize that the NCAA eventually uncovers clear evidence of a money trail from AU to Cecil. Is it your contention that, absent any proof that Cam was aware of the transaction, that his eligibility for games that took place after the money changed hands would remain unaffected?
That's exactly what happened with Bush at USC. The NCAA determined that his family received improper benefits, and retroactively declared him inelgible for all games he played in after the benefits wre provided.
Haden is an idiot for trying to make the comparison.

The point is that it won't affect Cam in any way one way or the other. So Auburn has to vacate some wins. Big deal. So they're on probation for the next century. Who gives a frick? Cam is off making money in the NFL and he couldn't be fricking bothered.

I already did.

I didn't 'interpret' anything. The NCAA VP who ruled on the matter said:
quote:
"In determining how a violation impacts a student-athlete's eligibility, we must consider the young person's responsibility. "
He didn't mention solicitation or any specific offense, he was speaking generally about any violation.
Auburn could have given Cecil $10,000,000 and a house and could have hired a hitman on his behalf to kill a personal enemy of his and if Cam didn't know, his degree of responsibility is zero.
I know this makes you nervous. It makes all of us nervous. None of us ever thought it would be like this in college football.....but it is......thanks to Cecil and the NCAA.
