It's a gullible Auburn fan that ACTUALLY believes Cam Newton's Dad would shop Cam to one team but not another.

Cash sought for Cam Newton

"Former Mississippi State quarterback John Bond told ESPN.com a teammate of Bond's at Mississippi State in the early 1980s contacted him soon after Newton's official visit to Mississippi State during the Ole Miss game in December, and said he was representing Newton.


He said it would take some cash to get Cam.

Bond said the former teammate told him other schools had already offered $200,000, but since Newton really liked Mississippi State and had a relationship with head coach Dan Mullen dating to when both were at Florida, Mississippi State could get him for $180,000.

On Dec. 31, 2009, Newton publicly committed to Auburn"

Cam's Dad didn't shop him. The former State player went to Cecil and said "I think I can get money for you if Cam goes to State". Cecil said "go for it". State and Auburn were not the only two schools recruiting him. Every other coach said nobody asked for money for Cam.

The FEDS got involved. Ask the basketball schools if they have a clue what they are doing. You just don't hide money from them when they start looking.

sounds like Miss St offered Cam money and Auburn scooped him up after it was reported to the SEC. Good pick up by Auburn and it didn't even cost them anything
