Asked about the swiftness of some decisions – Newton was reinstated quickly though the investigation is ongoing – while others drag on for months or years, as was the case of Reggie Bush at USC, Emmert said: "Everyone looks at the Reggie Bush case and says, 'It took them a long time.' But they got it right, I think. It was a very hard, complex case. Again, remember, the NCAA does not have subpoena power. You cannot mandate that somebody talks to you. You have to work very hard to get at the facts."
Thoughts? Sorry if Germans...

i think that with the timing of the allegations and auburn being as successful as they are this year the ncaa is trying to cash in on a big NC game. auburn going down would have been a big hit for them. thats why they cleared shite up real fast.

Another question for him about Pearl would have been why Dez Bryant was suspended for the year for lying to the NCAA while Pearl hasn't been suspended for the year for lying to the NCAA. Bryant didn't even lie about a violation, unlike Pearl.

Can't really disagree with what he says. I am watching the movie from your avatar picture right now. And yes, Cam is a cotton-headed ninny muggins as was his father before him. I'm sure both are on the naughty list.

Slive did a solid job covering everything up

That's not how the NCAA thinks for one. That may be how some see, but it isn't the case. The NCAA doesn't care about their money as much as the teams following the rules. Ever since Emmert took over he has handled each case properly and efficiently. I don't see this being any other way. Second , The NCAA doesn't even award a NC. The BCS , AP, coaches, and Lee county boys club do.

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.

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.

Yes, well other than the 200,000+ Cecil received.

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.

Let's collect the money, then deal with it later, if we have to. No different than Slive.
They have left the door open to later reveal any pertinent findings, but they are not in the pertinent findings business, when it results in loss of profits.
They laughed in everyone's face, stuck us in their pocket, fed us farts, until we're old enough to eat shite. Pretty much the same treatment we receive from our lawmakers and politicians.
Look, I want to see Auburn play Oregon with Cam Newton. I've always wanted the SEC to win every year, and a strong Auburn is a strong LSU, IMO. But, I would have been better off not knowing what took place. And, I would have been better off not having my memory refreshed on what took place years ago.

I'm done here. There is no point in reasoning with you. I gave you the facts and you ignored them.

Apparently Uncle Milty has requested to be severed from the other defendants in the gambling trial. If he has cut a deal with the feds and starts talking it could be the beginning of the end for Aubbie.

The NCAA's most marketable item.
A Heisman trophy winner playing in the BCSCG.
Sell TV ads with Oregon versus TCU, and tell me the networks are going to be satisfied.
The SEC stood to lose 17 million on one BCS game alone.
If the NCAA declared Cam ineligible, the only thing they stood to gain was integrity. They lose tons of money. I'm not sure how to calculate viewing points and commercial time, etc., but I'm going to guess it's equivalent to the Super Bowl of college athletics.
I'm fine as a fan to allow things to play out. But, I'm insulted and embarrassed to find out the SEC sat on this, and once they reluctantly had to deal with it, the NCAA asked me to believe a kid with his resume of integrity and character, knew nothing about his father's actions, after stating in published articles that he left his decision up to his father.
The only way I'm going to swallow this, is if he goes down Bush style once all interested parties have collected.

If this is the case, does that mean that the Cam issue will be grandfathered in and what they did was ok, but now no one else can do it?
