This is rich coming from an Auburn fan. They had Cam Newtons father saying that he was shopping his son for a commitment to play football. Nothing happened.

BS. They had a former State player, who was a runner for an agent, come to Cecil and tell him he thought he could get money for Cam AT STATE. Like John Bond said from the very beginning........"this is a State issue".

ETA You paid way too much attention to the ATPB thread.......which turned out to be a total farce. The FEDS got involved in that too. Let's see how this one turns out.

Documents related to the NCAA's investigation released in November 2011 indicated Cecil Newton and Rogers sought between $120,000 and $180,000 for Cam Newton to sign with Mississippi State. Newton instead signed with Auburn in February 2010.

So do you honestly believe that Cecil Newton was asking for $100,000+ from State but Cam went to Auburn for free? All I'm saying what they have on Wade is very similar to what they had on Cam and his dad.

Do think players got paid? Yep. I'm happy they got paid. Everyone always says "oh look how much money these universities make and the players get none". Well look the players are getting paid. So which way do you want it?
