After the SEC Championship game, I was listening to Finebaum (it's part of my dumbing down therapy) and I heard a friend of Cecil's call in to the show and admitt that Cecil attended the SEC Champ. game.
I wasn't shocked to learn this and wasn't shocked to see the photo of him at the NC game.

Even if you think it was wrong, rules don't apply to him. He's a Newton.
The rules are draconian bullshite. If a capricious, absurd rule was levied against you, wouldn't you break it?
It's sorta like drinking underage or driving faster than 18MPH on the Ole Miss campus. Everybody does it because the rules are stupid to begin with.

Disagree completely.

You really think it's within the NCAA's purview to tell a man (who isn't at all bound to their rules or regulations) that he is not allowed to watch a football game his son is participating in?

I think people are making way too big of a deal about this. If someone told me that my dad couldn't watch me in the biggest game of my life and I had the clout that Cam Newton has, I would tell them to kiss my arse. Either he can be in the stands or you play a backup. Wish them good luck and watch them get hammered.

Thank you so much for actually using logic on this!
Auburn never said he couldn't go to any of the games, ever. They said he needed to distance himself from the athletic department and that they won't provide family tickets to him. If he gets his own ticket, that is fine. But hey, apparently that warrants an ncaa investigation according to most of you.

Germans or not, the whole thing is a manufactured controversy. His son was playing football and he wanted to watch. THE HORROR!!!
I don't begrudge the man for wanting to watch his son play in the biggest game thusfar in his life. Hell, I saw no problem with him attending the Heisman ceremony.
The fact that AU's AD Jay Jacob's found it necessary to make the public statement that Cecil Newton would not be attending the game is what is so comical to me. What buisness is it to AU who attends the game? And, why make any statement at all?

I think we should lay off the Respectable Reverend Cecil Newton. He is certainly a man I would want heading my church. He is full of integrity, honesty and charachter whose moral compass is incorruptable. I hear he gets good deals on laptops too.
