re: CAMGATE - What YOU need to know

i cant find anything that speaks to the SEC or NCAA's authority to 'vacate' wins...yeah, CamN may be declared ineligible, but AU would just plug in the back-up and hope for the best.....does anyone have a link that specifically addresses the idea of the SCHOOL being compelled to vacate wins because of the actions of one of it's (presumably ineligible) players...if Germans Sorry

Well the FBI was interiewing John Bond today. You cannot lie to the FBI. IF Cam or Cecil or interview and Lie to the FBI, you will spend time in Jail If the FBI moves forward.

Just ask Marion Jones ( female sprinter) She lied to the FBI about taking steroids during her interview. She was sent to prison only for the Lieing, Not because she had taken steroids, but because she only lied about not taking them. She is out now and wishes she would have just told the truth. Cam and Cecil will rat out everyone involved if they get interviewed.

BOND MEETS WITH FBI IN NEWTON MATTER

The attorney for former Mississippi State quarterback John Bond confirmed that Bond met with the FBI on Tuesday.

Bond is one of two former Mississippi State players who has told ESPN.com that a third former Bulldog, Kenny Rogers, was seeking money last November on behalf of Auburn quarterback Cam Newton's father, Cecil Newton, in exchange for Newton's commitment to Mississippi State. Bill Bell has told ESPN.com that he was also contacted concerning a pay-for-play deal that would have sent Newton to Mississippi State. Bond, Bell and Rogers all played together at Mississippi State in the early 1980s.

"John Bond has been interviewed by a State regulator and by Federal law enforcement. He has fully cooperated with both agencies and has provided them all facts known by him. Due to the ongoing nature of these matters, he cannot comment further about either interview," Bond's attorney, Phil Abernethy, wrote in an e-mail Tuesday.

Both Bond and Bell have already been interviewed by NCAA investigators. Ian Fitzsimmons of ESPN Radio in Dallas reported that Rogers was also meeting with the NCAA on Tuesday. Fitzsimmons interviewed Rogers on his radio show last week, and Rogers said on the show that Cecil Newton wanted between $100,000 and $180,000 for his son to sign with Mississippi State.

Rogers said he didn't know anything about Newton's recruitment to Auburn.

I admire you AU fans. It's you against the world. Most of you are too young to remember the ultra severe penalties levied against Au burn back in the last half of the 20th century. When the flames come lickin up around your mouths, you'll still be screaming to the world, "We're clean, we haven't done nuthing!" Then, you'll disappear for a decade. You might wind up like SMU!

I let my dad decide everything for me too! He never tells me anything except go to work. If any auburn fan believes that cam newton is innocent, probably think OJ ran from the police for the hell of it!

Were you expecting Osburn to say something different?

What kind of defense is that? Hope you don't represent your school. You should change your name to oneironaut because you surely are a person who explores dream worlds, usually associated with lucid dreaming. We all know what solicitation means. Really, if you believe this kid went to Auburn for free, you better not come out of your room because you aren't going to make it very far without being taken for everything your mommy and daddy own. I'm taking this case where it needs to go. And if you think things are eliminated now, more or less that he shouldn't be caught because you're an Auburn fan, then that's just sad. Even if Auburn gets off with nothing, everybody knows he's guilty. Enjoy your Barry Bonds worship. Have yourself some OJ (it helps for lucid dream states). Sweet dreams.

I wouldn't necessarily expect an Alabama fan to care about accuracy, but just in case you weren't completely biased, I thought you might want to know about a slight inconsistency I found in your timeline:

quote:

Nov 4th, Bond releases statement “During the 2009 football season, I was contacted by a former football teammate, who
represented to me that he was speaking for the Newton camp. He told me that Cam Newton wanted to play at Mississippi State, but that a specified payment would have to be made. I reported the conversation to the Mississippi State Ath letic Department. I was told by the Athletic Department that Mississippi State would not respond to the overture that was made to me, and that Mississippi State would continue to recruit Cam Newton as it does any other football recruit.”

• MSU: "We are comfortable that representatives of Mississippi State University's interests conducted themselves appropriately and in compliance with all NCAA by-laws. Mississippi State is committed to operating our athletics programs within the rules of the NCAA and Southeastern Conference, and we expect those affiliated with our program to continue to do the same." • Cecil Newton, the quarterback's father, denied the allegations to ESPN.com. "If Rogers tried to solicit money from Mississippi State, he did it on his own, without our knowledge," he told the website.

• Chizik: "I'm standing up here on a very important week trying to defend something that quite frankly is garbage," Chizik told reporters. "Is there a wizard behind the curtain? I don't know. Is there one, is there two, are there 10? I don't know and I don't care. But what I do care about is coming to the defense of not only a great football player but a great human being who comes from a great family."

Nov 8th, Foxsports.com reports that Newton was caught cheating three times at Florida.

Gene Chizik called the Foxsports.com reports of cheating garbage at a press conference on Nov. 8... You have him saying them on Nov. 4.

First-Bama would not say anything because they did the wrong thing and paid. 2nd-according to the rules, if your crackhead uncle called and solicited benefits on your behalf with or without your knowlege, you would be ineligible. That may suck but thats the rule.
If the rule stated it was okay as long as the athlete wasn't aware, it would be a much larger issue because much more solicitation of benefits would occur because "its okay as long as he didn't know"

Guys is very easy! When Cam spoke to the Miss state coach and stated in a upset voice ( Crying) that he is sorry he cannot attend Miss st, because the "money" is just to much to turn down. Well Auburn had to be giving that money! IF its proven, then Auburn is in Big trouble.

If this conversation was recorded and I think it was and now the FBI has the recordings in their possession, then when they interview CAm or Cecil and they lie about the conversation Then Auburn is in more trouble.

I am sure John Bond was upset that Cam was going to turn them down and had that Recorder ready and taping the whole conversation with CAm. He knew he could use whatever Cam stated on the tape to put Auburn in a lot of trouble.
