The NCAA has also made players eligible that directly asked for money and grade help. As long as Auburn doesn't directly have talks with Cecil over pay for play it is very doubtful that Newton will be retroactively ruled that way.
The letter of the law says that but there are countless cases where the NCAA ruled for much worse that a player was fine as long as money changed hands. In some cases money did change hands and he was allowed to stay active. It is a strange issue I must admit.
The chance is there but Auburn has worked with several law firms for months on this and both feel strongly Newton is fine. I must admit personally I'm surprised as Rich McGlynn is not a guy that even gets into these types of things if a player is close to the gray area he kicks them out and says no but in this case he dug in.
