i think it is going to be extremely hard to prove that Cam had no knowledge of the scheme -- especially considering that it was his father who was representing him. maybe if it was like someone he didn't know. but his father?...

the good news for LSU is that the NCAA zealously wants to avoid what happened with Reggie Bush and USC -- especially considering that it just occurred. you can bet they are just waiting to make an example out of someone to show that this sort of thing will not be tolerated. and the fact that the F...

[quote]I think timing may prevent that. To actually forfeit immediately, IMO its going to have to be proven rather swiftly that Auburn knew what was going on and shouldn't have played him. [/quote]
how swiftly?...

Posted by Johnny Brannan on 11/14/10 at 11:17 pm
here's a question:
how can the Newton's afford a lawyer if they could not afford the needed repairs to their church only a few months before?
lawyers cost over $200 an hour and usually require a retainer. something smells rotten in AU.

i've been doing a lot of reading on this. right now, it seems the NCAA is aware that there was a clear rules violation when Cam's father obtained the services of an agent to solicit money on Cam's behalf, and they are not doing much about it. that would mean that they are either going to ...
