Why is Mississippi State mostly left out of Cam Newton discussions?

ATPB got the hype, but:

quote:

former Mississippi State player Kenny Rogers, sought money in exchange for Cam Newton's commitment to Mississippi State


quote:

Rogers sought between $120,000 and $180,000 for Cam Newton to sign with Mississippi State.


ATCBB?

Did the NCAA release a report on its investigation into MSU athletics?

Because they finished second. Just like Tennessee finished second for Albert Means.

Because everybody knows Auburn is dirty as all get out.

Therefore, they get all the attention for SCam. Had they hired somebody less sleazy and more like able than Malzahn, things may have changed.

Dad whores out son for money

School A admittedly offers 180k

School B signs son

Basically, if you offer some Vegas hooker 20 bucks for a blowjob and as she approaches your car another dude offers 21 and gets his dick sucked, the cops aren't really concerned with the dude that went home and beat off. He may have waved some money around, but in the end the whore got someone else off

Because Kenny Rogers did not represent State, was not associated with the Bulldog Club nor did he have anything to do with the university until he thought he could possibly broker a deal with the university. He knew State was recruiting kNewton and he contacted his dad and his dad wanted money for his son's signature. He said he would act as the go between for a cut of the money. When kNewton took his official visit to State Cecil and sCam arranged to talk to Mullen after the game that sCam attended. They met at the Hilton Garden Inn in Starkville and at this point Rogers arrived and Cecil informed Mullen that his son's signature would not be free this time. Mullen said he does not buy players and that was the end of the meeting. The school was found to have done nothing wrong. They gladly accepted the recommendation to bar Rogers from any future interactions with the athletic department since he never had anything to do with State to begin with.

And our AD said that we turned this over to the SEC before sCam signed with Auburn. At the time the plan was to sit him for one year as his eligibility would have been in question. The one year would have cleared him for play and he would have led the 2011 squad.

What would be interesting is how kNewton's dad's church got that massive influx of donations after sCam signed with Auburn. Iirc, the city had condemned the church as it was such danger to enter and couldn't meet fire codes. Then all of the sudden the parishioners raised several hundred thousand bucks to renovate it.

Screw Cam and screw his daddy harder. If Cam was a man of his word & came to State without seeking $$$$ then this would be our 2nd National Championship run within 5 years.
