issue at this time.

In this unique situation, we have a school that may play for the n.c. with a, more likely than not, ineligible player. (base this on daddy's admition to requesting money.)

The appropriate ruling at this time would be to declare C.N. ineligible. all games c.n. has played in would have to be vacated.

As to if Au has done any wrong doing, that investigation is pending.

you punish the player and leave the school open to be cleared or sanctioned pending the outcome of the investigation.

college football avoids a black eye with a team playing in the n.c. with a player who isn't eligible.

Right, end a team's season based on hearsay from rival schools. Either show the proof or gtfo.

so if i call the ncaa and say that i talked with a player at any major college and said we talked about money and pay for play deals... they should be ineligable until the investigation is complete....



so if ncaa does what you say and auburn comes out clean(unlikely but), that would be an even worse black eye for the ncaa, to have taken a conference championship(possible), national championship and heisman trophy away for nothing..... come on man...

i just cant see the ncaa setting the precedent of: "the player didnt know momma and daddy got shite tons of money, so hes eligible"


theyll be having 40 of these investigations a year. they better cut the head off this monster before its past their control

What about the precedent of "hey some ex-Ohio State players said Michigan was cheating, better vacate all their wins"?

Let me see if I can interpret: You want the NCAA to make a preliminary ruling during the season, before their investigation is complete and without going through the due process set out in their by-laws because you think that gives LSU the best chance to play for the MNC. Is that about right?

Honestly I think the appropriate punishment is this:

Note: This is assuming that the allegation that Cecil Newton shopped his son to MSU is true and the details regarding it we have heard are accurate.

Cam Newton: Like it or not Aubies...under this scenario he should be ineligible. The "he didn't know defense" can't fly when its your Dad that did it. I don't see any circumstance where the NCAA lets that go.

MSU: Nothing. Again this is if the allegation are like it has been stated. If MSU said no thanks and then turned it in...then they should be clear.

Auburn: Nothing...Outside of losing the ineligible player for the rest of the season. IF the allegations are as stated I find it quite unfair to vacate wins for a school that had nothing to do with it and didn't really have any reasonable reason to be aware of the issue. THey should keep their wins. No vacating...no forfeitures.

I think this is fair. No reason to punish institutions that didn't do anything to deserve it.

Let it play out. If both Tigers take care of business (as things stand right now) AU goes to Glendale and LSU goes to the big party in the Big Easy! After the ups and down of the LSU play this year I would gladly take a Sugar Bowl bid.

Yes...his lawyer said it and said that Cam and the mother had no knowledge of it.

i'm trying to say that i love college football and would hate to see a n.c. game with this scandal involved.

I realize they can't investigate this thoroughly by the end of the season. make a ruling based on what you have. cam is not eligible. his daddy requested money. you punish him. Not Au. You pend the ruling on Au until your investigation is finished. if they are clear of any wrong doing, then Au go's free w/o probation in the future. if they paid, then rule on their wrong doing later.

it takes care of the current issue. it's the right thing to do for college football. Au may not see it that way, however, they are biased. I don't think many people outside Au believe cam/his family didn't request or take money.

this isn't a court of law. A right isn't being taking a way. a rule was broken, you make a decision based on that rule. you don't need a jury or court proceeding to make this decision.

No, they don't. They won the game against a possible 1 loss LSU team that lost with that player.

But LSU fans who are grasping for a way to get back in the NC picture are not. I think the most the NCAA might do in season, is step in and say, based on our investigation, we have enough information to declare Cam ineligible for the remainder of the season. I can almost gaurantee there won't be any vacation of AU wins during the season. This would require a hearing by the committee on infractions, which will not meet before the end of the season.

due process


no, it's a ruling based on the information they have currently.

i'm not saying Au should be punished and put on probation. Au may be clear. it's the newton's that have caused this. they should be punished. If punishing them hurts Au for A year, then that is part of hanging with the dog, you get the flea's.

No, it's not about lsu. i don't think lsu beats arkansas. therefore, i don't think it helps them.

it's about college football and the sport i love. i would hate to see this black eye on college football.

They need to suspend Cam and if Auburn is found to have done nothing wrong they should allow them to continue to play for the NC as long as they win out. On the other hand if the FBI finds that any Auburn booster paid money to Cams dad the whole program should get put on probation and members of the SEC office who waited to disclose the info should be fired.

Are you the shady father of a recruit who was involved with stolen propert, destruction of evidence, cheating multiple times academically, and switching your commitment from a school you wanted to go to, to another school? A school who has a shady booster now under investigation by the FBI?

Cmon, dude. Wake the frick up.
