NCAA spokesperson Stacey Osburn told The Birmingham News by email that "the solicitation of cash or benefits by a prospective student-athlete or another individual on his or her behalf is not allowed under NCAA rules."

Exactly. I don't know why everyone keeps saying otherwise.

Because they want to believe.

Couldn't it also fall under the crime of soliciting a bribe? Logan Young was convicted of bribery in the Means case.
ETA: I guess the difference would be that Young was trying to influence a state official (a coach). Not sure if it applies in this case although I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

Your thread was first so I'll delete mine.
But here's more relevant quotes from the piece:
So the allegation is out there. Now it's up the NCAA and the FBI to either prove it or clear Cecil and Cam Newton.
But here's more relevant quotes from the piece:
quote:
[Kenny] Rogers told ESPN 103.3 in Dallas that, on Friday night, Nov. 27, 2009, the night before Ole Miss played Mississippi State, he and Cecil Newton sat inside the Hilton Garden Inn in Starkville, Miss., and discussed where Cam Newton would sign with two Mississippi State football coaches.
Cam Newton was on his official visit to Mississippi State that weekend.
Rogers said that Cecil Newton told the two Mississippi State coaches, whom he would not identify, that State would have to pay between $100,000 and $180,000 to get Cam Newton to sign with the Bulldogs.
So the allegation is out there. Now it's up the NCAA and the FBI to either prove it or clear Cecil and Cam Newton.

Because ESPN said it the opposite while talking about Newton and this situation.
I could care less if it is or isnt. Just repeating what ESPN KEEPS saying over and over pertaining to this case.

It is still he said he said at MSU...like it always has been.
IT still does not link it to AU.

True, it does not link it to AU.
Except, of course, that all of this year's games will be vacated.

I think this would be acceptable to most AU fans at this point. 1 lost season is much worse than disbanding your FB team

And this wouldn't lead to the death penalty, as so many on here have fantasized over this week.

Which still means as a best case scenario you've played an ineligible player all year. At worst, you may have actually paid for him.

Was Albert Means eligible to play football after his coach shopped him around to Alabama?.....
Yes... He played at Memphis.
Yes... He played at Memphis.

You are missing the point. It does not matter if it never gets linked to Auburn. If Cam's dad solicited a bribe from two MSU coaches, Cam would (and should) be declared ineligible under NCAA rules. Thus, Auburn would have to forfeit every game Cam played in this year.

The question is, what is the punishment. Does solicitation without receiving benefits affect elligibility? Not every NCAA rule violation makes an athlete automatically inelligible. I am not saying it doesn't, just wondering if anyone knows. I am also not saying he wasn't paid by an AU booster, but that hasn't been proven, yet. FML

Oh crap. That's not big for Auburn Univ but is very bad for the player. Hard to say the dad wasn't soliciting "on his behalf". Damn. Kenny Roger just fired back a bomb
