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

So basically...
either way...
the Newtons are getting money for lying.
Okay just clarifying.

On what grounds? Enforcing the rules that are already on the books?

The Newton family would NEVER sue over this. BIG DIFFERENCE between lying to NCAA investigators and getting on the stand at trial. A lawsuit would require them to testify under oath aas to:
1. Exactly what happened Cecil did and with whom.
2. Whether Cam knew or not.
3. Whether any money moved anywhere.
I tend to think these are questions that the Newton DO NOT WANT TO ANSWER UNDER OATH.
