Screw Cam and screw his daddy harder. If Cam was a man of his word & came to State without seeking $$$$ then this would be our 2nd National Championship run within 5 years.

Don't be so sure. After the deal fell through at MSU, Cecil got worried about the NCAA and Cam potentially getting in trouble or having to sit. Then he compared the offensive lines of MSU and AU. Cecil actually saw AU as the program where Cam would shine. Chizik was not that convinced at first.

Cecil may be a scumbag, but he knew which way the wind was blowing and wanted no part MSU after being turned down. Why would he go into the same situation at AU or any other school, knowing the NCAA would be watching after MSU (supposedly) turned in all the information? No way he was soliciting money anywhere else if the NCAA was already privy to the information. Cecil saw NFL money and did what he needed to do to get Cam in the right situation. It eventually worked for him, but he lost his integrity in the process.
