You honestly think money didn't play a part in the decision process?

I have to ask you a serious question. Do you believe in Santa Clause?

How much money was lost due to the Bush findings? Did the PAC-10 or NCAA give money back to anyone?

What did the SEC and NCAA stand to lose if Cam were found not eligible? Give me just your best guess rounded in millions.

What would the NCAA stand to lose?

On the other hand, if they declared him ineligible and it was later overturned, then I could easily see the NCAA standing to lose a considerable amount, especially given the precedent from their previous legal battles within the State of Alabama.

Do you honestly believe that a monopoly like the NCAA gives two shits about money at this point? They want to give a proper and honest ruling with all the facts. All the other cases took alot of time to investigate. Maybe Auburn isn't cooperating with the NCAA? Idk if they are or aren't but that could definitely slow them down some.

Point is people are ready to thrash the NCAA , but if they give a ruling based on little sufficient evidence then they will sued and could be disbanded. They are not gonna put their names on the line to cover for several Million when the NCAA is a multi billion dollar organization.

You really want to ask that? Just think about it for a sec.
