So the Cam Newton plan
quote:
ormer Auburn quarterback Cam Newton was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing in a pay-for-play scandal, but FOXSports.com has learned that he was briefly declared ineligible before a game against Georgia in the 2010 season. Auburn compliance officials informed the NCAA that Newton was suspended on Nov. 10, 2010, according to an Auburn official with knowledge of the suspension. A record of the suspension was not in the 32 pages of documents obtained by FOXSports.com because it was communicated verbally to the NCAA, which had launched an investigation into allegations Kenny Rogers, an independent recruiter, and Cam Newton’s father, Cecil, sought as much as $180,000 from Mississippi State to secure the services of Newton. Auburn coach Gene Chizik told reporters on a conference call on the same day Newton was quietly ruled ineligible that he would play against Georgia. About 24 hours later, Newton was reinstated by the Tigers, who went on to claim the SEC and BCS titles in ensuing weeks.
Cam was ruled ineligible by AU compliance and the NCAA but was reinstated and cleared prior to,the UGA game. Nothing like the Cam Newton plan. Alabama isn’t saying shite about what the know or when they knew it.
