What did he say that guaranteed MSU would turn them in? The "rented mule" comment? Have you ever seen that statement in its entireity? He is talking about the supporting cast that would be around Cam.

Here is the direct quote from the Montgomery Advertiser:
quote:


I didn’t think that was the right place for Cam. They just don’t have all the moving parts. Cam was going to have to be the star. He’d have to do everything himself. I didn’t want him to be a rented mule.

Auburn has far more varsity players returning, they have more skill players, they’re attracting more highly recruited players and it’s right down the street.


Basically he was saying (by my way of reading it) that if he had gone to MSU, Cam would have done all the work, possibly gotten MSU to that next level (top section of the SEC West) and they could have then prospered in the future with the recruits they would bring in because of Cam's success. Auburn, on the other hand, already had proven talent on offense and was drawing kids in without Cam, and that with that around him Cam could best prosper and showcase his talents.

Then why did these words fire MSU people up if they are as harmless as you believe. He could have said nothing. He could have been diplomatic.

We know he shopped Cal to MSU, which means that we know he was lying when he said that he didn't want him to be a rented mule. He very much wanted him to be a rented mule.

He should have been nice. A preacher should understand that concept.

You are quoting an SEC bylaw - not an NCAA bylaw. Two separate matters. THe SEC bylaw has NOTHING to do with the NCAA ruling

If the SEC bylaws and rules were enforced to the letter then around half the UGA squad would have been suspended for coming onto the field against AU.
