synopsis:
The NCAA is investigating Auburn University’s recruitment of Cam Newton. John Bond, a former Mississippi State quarterback, said on Thursday that he was approached by a former teammate about a specified payment that would be required to secure Newton.
A person briefed on the offer said it would have taken “low six figures” to secure Newton’s services. ESPN.com reported Thursday that, according to Bond, Rogers said it would have taken $180,000 and that other universities had already offered $200,000.

Im getting tweets saying that former MSU QB John Bond has released a statement though his attorney regarding the Newton situation. Says that Cecil Newton was paid $200K by Auburn to go there.
