In honor of the visit to the Whitehouse to meet "the Prez", how about someone doing Fairley as "Kid" and Newton as "Play" (or better yet "Pay") as "White House Party".

Lots of potential with this: Obama, Chiz, Robert Gibbs, Cecil, Lowder et al.

Better hope he's not. December 14-16 is a "dead period" per the NCAA calendar.

If you put Tammi, Phyllis, I-Man , Crazy Jim, Shane, Chuckie from Reeltown, and Legend on a "short bus" headed for Glendale,:

Who gets to drive? How many times do they get arrested along the way? and most importantly, how pharmacy stops along the way to get their meds refilled?

I believe if you look at the Auburn response to the questions about Cam Newton when this went public, it was: "Cam Newton is an eligible athlete at Auburn University". It has been the Auburn position that anything that happened with MSU compromised his eligibilty at MSU, not at Auburn.

You raise the same questions that I did about the NCAA statement on Wednesday. Cam Newton's "amateur status" was violated resulting in a violation NCAA rules. Okay so what does it mean relative to the schools involved? MSU, Auburn, both, neither, what? It seems like it is purposefully "vague". If a violation occured that made him ineligible at MSU, then why was Auburn made to make ineligible and file for reinstatement? I heard a former NCAA investigator asking the same question on Finebaum.
The only thing I can come up with is, at some point, his eligibility had to be compromised at Auburn. In July (when Slive and SEC office contacted Auburn) or at some point later?

This is pure speculation on my part but I keep going back to Nov. 11 prior to the Georgia game when Cam, his parents, NCAA Investigators, and members of the Auburn Athletic and Compliance departments met. It was widely report after that meeting that Auburn was informed by the NCAA that they are playing Cam "at their own risk". I believe that Auburn may have accepted the "liabilty" of Cam's ineligibilty at that point. That meeting could very well been enough for the NCAA to say "this could be problem, you might want to sit him until it is sorted out".

This is when everything went quiet and everyone stopped talking. The standard response until the ruling this week remained "Cam Newton is an eligible athlete at Auburn University".

The people with NCAA and SEC remind me of what my Dad use to say about politicians: "They can kiss a baby, smoke a cigar, and talk out of both sides of their mouth all at the same time."
