You Auburn fans amaze me. You cling to this notion like an infant to a blanket, but it's STILL AGAINST NCAA REGULATIONS TO SOLICIT.

If Cam Newton tried to murder somebody and they lived, ya'll would be all over the board saying "Who cares if it's ATTEMPTED murder. If nobody dies, what does it really matter?"

No, but if Cecil tried to murder somebody, ya'll would want want Cam incarcerated even though he wasn't involved.


As for solicitation and amateurism in general. Picture a baseball player drafted by lets say the dodgers and deciding to attend an SEC school. Let's say that player says it will take 5 million for my son to play pro ball for you. They say no we can only pay you 3 million. He say no I would rather remain an amateur and pitch in the SEC.

Now I think it's terrible that Cecil solicited money (from a school) but please understand why Cam should still be an amateur and not ineligible. Especially, if he did not know what was going on.

Above is the difference between soliciting and agreeing to receive (SEC RULE).. I understand NCAA rule solicit on behalf too.
