What do we know? The NCAA has been investigating a claim that Kenny Rogers, purportedly acting on behalf of Cam Newton, offered him to Mississippi State for $180,000. Rogers claimed to former MSU quarterback John Bond he had offers for $200,000 from other schools. Bond forwarded the info to the MSU athletic department. The Bulldogs declined the offer. Cam Newton’s father chose Auburn. The NCAA requested Cam Newton’s father Cecil’s financial records and those of his church. Rogers is under a separate investigation by the NFLPA for serving as a runner and posing as an NFLPA employee. Cecil Newton and his church received a suspicious influx of funds. Newton chose Auburn last December. Cecil Newton’s church, which had been facing a demolition order for building code violations, began renovations a short time later. Cecil told the city council in September 2009 the renovations would be carried out “within six months.” However, notably, he also claimed the church had “money in hand to proceed with the work.”

You have never bartered for anything apparently. The NCAA investigated it. The IRS, THE FEDS, got involved. The NCAA found that Rogers was involved with Cam's recruitment to MSU, not any other school. Rogers was the only person "scamming" anybody. Use a little common sense. Who in their right mind is going to pay six figures for a JUCO player?
