a) why the NCAA might have decided it was best to make a ruling on his eligibility now, as opposed to a non statement either way.

I understand that an investigation is officially open. I also understand that Auburn could be found to have done something that would vacate wins. You've now pesuaded me to look at this entirely different and I now realize that Auburn has clearly violated NCAA bylaws. I realize now that Auburn basically threw the middle finger up to the NCAA by continuing to play Cam when any other school would have known to sit him. I realize now that despite the majority of the country being totally unaware of who Cam Newton was, Auburn decided to pay his dad $180,000 on the hopes that he would be as great as he appeared at Blinn. A fair gamble considering how many 4 and 5 star recruits every single year end up being total busts but the risk/reward for paying the player makes total sense. I also believe that Auburn pays for every player that commits to Auburn because why else would you ever want to attend our school. Right? I feel so much better now. Thanks guys, its been a pleasure and thank you for freeing me of my Auburn shackles. Hoorah!!!
