Yes, it does matter. It matters a lot. And the investigation wasn't "week long"... it was "weeks" long.
And, if all the details are covered and arranged during that long run-up then the "did it in a day" meme is a total and utter falsehood. So, yes, it DOES matter.
Maybe so, but there was at least some reasonable doubt as to Cam's eligibility AT LEAST as far back as prior to the Georgia game yet the NCAA publically reinstated Cam in a matter of hours AFTER he played in 2 really big games after that. Other than Ohio State just a few weeks later, when has the NCAA or a school with a player in question EVER been given the luxury of playing while their eligibility was in doubt?

Again (I don't know why this is so hard to understand), the planning and rehearsal for that one-day "wedding" had been going on for weeks (i.e. the investigation and cooperation directly with the NCAA). The one-day thing was just saying the vows and making it official.
Do ya'll REALLY think the whole thing was processed in one day and one day only? I mean, I'd like to give ya'll credit for having some semblance of an ability to use your brain, so throw me a rope here.

I thought he got cleared yesterday. frick the NCAA.

The point that I think your missing is that others players have had to take a seat and watch when there was doubt about their eligibility. Meanwhile Cam was allowed to play the whole year under such doubts. This was a stunning lack of consistency by the ncaa that almost certainly swung the nc last year.

Russell Shepard got in trouble with the NCAA for staying at his girlfriend's apartment for a few weeks and not paying rent. After that got cleared, he ended up getting suspended anyway because he talked to his cousin (another LSU football player) about Willie Lyles. The NCAA is fricked up to say the least..
Funny part is you have better chance of playing if you break the law.

^This is a bunch of fricking bullshite. The NCAA is fricking clueless.

I agree. It always seems to me the NCAA overlooks things they shouldn't...and attacks innocent so-called "issues" like this.
I don't get it.

.... or the Miami players that had 50k in SUV's, aborition's, and fricking prostitutes. 8 players for UM sit out for 1 game, and Sharrif Floyd is still fricking suspended. The NCAA is a fricking complete and utter joke.

Question, is he suspended by the NCAA or UF athletics?

Pretty sure it's the NCAA, while they drag their feet and investigate a bake sale. Kid was dirt poor, had no family really in HS, and the NCAA is giving him shite for putting on a bake sale so he could afford plane tickets to the AA game. Stay fricking classy NCAA.

thanks, It sucks the big one, but I'm confident nothing will become of it and he'll be back in time to bust some rocky top arse.

Man, I hope so. I could care less if he misses UAB, but we need him for depth purposes against UT.

I think he is suspended by UF and they are waiting on NCAA to issue a ruling
If he plays while he is ineligible UF would have to forfeit those games
The NCAA is the biggest crock of shite in the United States
And Cam was eligible the same week because they had done the leg work leading up to that week and Auburn had already said frick it, we aren't sitting him, if he is ineligible the season was fricked anyways. But they moved fast on him because if they didn't and he missed a game because of the NCAA the media would have destroyed them, literally destroyed them.

I guess what you are missing here, then, is that the NCAA Eligibility folks didn't have any doubt.
Just because YOU had doubt and YOU wanted the advantage of Cam Newton not being in the game doesn't mean that the NCAA has to accede to your wishes.
Unlike you, I give the Eligibility folks the credit not to believe everything that they read on message boards.

Agreed. Same sh*t going on with Shepard right now. He asked a teammate what he thought about an inquiry and he's missing games; no response to the appeal in sight.
