I have seen many Auburn fans state that a former State player asked for money for Cam to come there.



It was Cam's Dad who was found to have asked for money. That's even in Auburns investigations with the NCAA. You can't deny that.

You should really read the link you provided.....

quote:

The documents offered some insight into Rogers' dealings with Mississippi State representatives John Bond and Bill Bell.

Bond indicated that Rogers, who operated Elite Football Preparation for prospective college athletics, told him he was just trying to get Newton to play for his former school and they "just had to make it happen." Bell also told the NCAA Rogers didn't give him any indication that Newton knew about the efforts to collect money.



and here is the kicker.......

quote:

"There is no information suggesting that Rogers had similar discussions about a cash inducement with any other institution, either directly or indirectly," one joint Auburn and NCAA document stated.

It doesn't matter who came up with the idea. State's people were the ones trying to work the deal out. Not anyone at Auburn.

Apparently you can't either.

The link pretty much shows Rogers and Newton's dad sought payment from MSU boosters.

quote:

The documents indicate Newton's father, Cecil Newton, and ex-Mississippi State player Kenny Rogers sought from $120,000 to $180,000 for the quarterback to sign with the Bulldogs out of junior college but didn't ask any other school for money.


The two seemed to communicate quite a bit through text concerning MSU.

quote:

The documents said Cecil Newton's phone records indicate that he and Rogers exchanged some 275 calls or text messages between March 2009 and January 2010, with "the vast majority of these related to MSU's recruitment of Newton." Only about 15 came after Newton signed with Auburn on Dec. 31, 2009.
