They would be opening up a pandora's box if Cam were ruled ineligible. Let's throw out the fact that there is no proof Cam knew, no proof Cecil got money, and no proof that Auburn did anything whatsoever.

Think about next time when a high school coach (a father figure so to speak) for Johhny Stud Muffin says to Coach Big Time BCS, I'll get you Johnny for half a million. They turn it down. He signs elsewhere because Coach Big Time BCS says screw that, and subsequently Coach Big Time BCS reports it to Big BCS conference and NCAA.

Does Johnny Stud Muffin need to pay for a greed high school coaches' greed or bad decision?

I don't think so.

Except the fact that the NCAA said in it's report that he shopped Cam.



Btw, Johnny would be ineligible too.

You've got it arse backwards.

Pandora's box wasn't opened by ruling him INeligible, but by reinstating his eligibility.

BRB entertaining all SEC bids on my 17yo cousin who's a center, and my 13yo cousin who's a QB. Don't worry, they don't know.

....the kid knew what his father was doing, but there is no way to prove it. BUT, good way to lay out an example using a non-related coach instead of a loving/religious father.

You're half irght, IMO. NCAA didn't lower the boom because if they had ruled Cam ineligible then Cam's family, Auburn, and perhaps even the SEC would sue the hell out of the NCAA, creating a media firestorm and a lawsuit that would cost the NCAA millions. Like everything else with this case, this is a money issue, and letting Cam play while citing lack of evidence was the safe way to save cash and face with the SEC office

it has been established that diddy cam was indeed participating in the slave trading of his child.

Now if everyone thinks scott moore is credible, scott is hell bent on the notion that there are texts and tapes that can and will prove this.

Doesn't have jack shite to do with the fact Slive screwed the pooch and failed to enforce the spirit of the SEC bylaws.

We know Cecil is a pimp. We know Cam is his whore. The spirit of the SEC bylaws says Cam should have been ruled ineligible a long time ago.

Slive is running interference for the Barn. The SEC knew about this and gave the information to the Barn back in July. Nobody can convince me it took 5 months for the Barn, SEC and the NCAA to get it's collective head out of its arse.

Are you aware that "Little Johnny's" dad "Big Stud Muffin" admitted to whoring out little Johnny?

I DON'T THINK SO!

Because our legal system and the NCAA (which attempts to mirror the legal system to an extent) relies on the Kantian categorical imperative, or generalized principle, I agree with you. The NCAA had no choice without proof that Cam knew about it.

However, given the circumstances, the whole thing seems pretty shady. Cam is lying and everybody knows it. In this sense, the ruling is a travesty, much like the organization that issued it.

This thing will probably end much worse than Auburn ever imagined in the long run.

Auburn forced the NCAA's hand and they had no choice but to reinstate the kid at this time. Placing the NCAA in an embarrassing position will only make this situation worse for Auburn.

So if you think the NCAA is finished, think again. The NCAA will turn every rock over in the Auburn program looking for that one disgruntled player, recruit, jilted girlfriend, or criminally charged Alum who is willing to testify. Testify to knowing what Cam or Auburn knew, or to some totally unrelated violation.

Hell hath no fury like a scorned and embarrassed NCAA. I sure hope Auburn is clean, because that glass house they live in is going to have a lot of broken windows.
