Duuuude

I got a text from ESPN saying Newton's dad wanted 100K for him to go to Miss St? Blah.

Clicky. 

Re: Duuuude

  • Rogers said that...

    ESPN reported it.

    LOL!

    Ha, I have better candidates for "Worst Person Ever" who would put Cam Newton to shame in terms of collegiate sports.

    Unless your candidates REMOVED A TAG FROM A PILLOW, I beg to differ.

  • Miss. State is just jealous and slighted. They know they aren't a pimple on Auburn's @ss. I highly doubt Cam ever would have picked state over AU.

    Maybe it's just the skeptic in me, but I really don't think Cam is the one making decisions.

    Agreed. This whole thing's turned into a sh!tstorm for no reason. I don't get it. Why now? Because he's up for the Heisman and Auburn is kicking @ss and taking names?

    Doesn't matter if Newton is the one making the decisions or not.  The fact of the matter is someone affiliated with him IS and allegedly made some money off him and that's against the rules.

    It would be one thing if his dad said, "Yeah, they approached me about going to MissSt and I said no."  The fact that $$$ was being exchanged is what makes it an isue.

    I get that, I think we all get that and we all know that you know how the NCAA works as far as compliance goes. My point was that Cam isn't making these choices, at least I don't think so. And it's a shame that he is paying (potentially) for what his money grubbing father is allegedly doing or allegedly did. It's sad even. 

  • Something just DOESN'T feel right.  And yeah, it's sad if the decisions of others affect what happens to Cam.  I'm just not fully convinced he's on the straight and narrow either.  It just don't feel right about it.  Something is off.

    I hope I'm wrong!

    Maybe it's because of the laptop thing at UF? I can get where there would be some doubt. I really want to think that he is a good kid, though.

  • Isn't his dad a preacher?  Or did I make that up....

  • Can't we all just agree that everyone in the sports world is a lying, cheating bastard and move on with our lives? That might put ESPN out of business, but at least we wouldn't have to hear old fogey ex-sports "stars" re-hash their opinion eleventy billion times in 24 hours.

    Yup. There was some talk about a big 'donation' to his church, the source of which Cecil could not / would not account for. He's a pretty shady character.

  • No way would Cam have played yesterday if there was any question of his eligibly, especially with the insane amount of national attention this story has gained. The NCAA has been investigating this for months and they've never once recommended that Auburn sit Cam.

    His father has said that was a conversation where money was mentioned...he didn't say he asked for it or solicited money...State easily could have offered (or a booster). Just makes no sense that they'd solicit money from State and not UT, OU or AU.
