NCAA: Cam Newton eligible

Cam Newton is an amazing athlete and a very good collegiate quarterback. I'm glad he can play and I enjoy watching Auburn run their offense. I would be disappointed if he was ruled ineligible. He deserves to win the Heisman.
 
How does that even work. He passed the buck to his dad so since when is willful ignorance a valid defense?

"I would like to come play there, but it is just too much money to say no." (paraphrased) = Does not deserve the Heisman according to the Heisman guidelines.
 
Auburn can and will still get chizzed IMO. They just haven't found anything yet, so the NCAA has to let him be eligible. The NCAA will make tons of money off Cam playing in the SEC Championship and National Championship, and then they'll take all the losses and the NCAA will keep its money.

I don't understand...he was ruled ineligible because his amateur status was not valid, but then he gets reinstated? WTF? How is this different than Reggie Bush?

Reggie knew about it.


BTW- This could be exactly like Reggie Bush as it tkes time to do the investigation and new evidence comes up in the future.

Weird ruling today...they acknowlege the "shopping" as an NCAA violation but because they can't show that Cam Newton knew about it, he is eligible.

Interesting.

I thought he was a goner because the NCAA was not going to put up with this crap any longer :jimlad:and GC would be fired and Auburn would be given the death sentence. It didn't really take that long for the NCAA to find a way to weasel around it.

I think this is what will ultimately happen but I don't think it has anything to do with the NCAA making money. I think it has everything to do with what they can or can't prove and the fact that the FBI is involved and may be slowing the process down.
The NCAA has to make sure they can prove things and they don't have court ordered power like the FBI and police. That is why their investigations take longer
 
Good to know that Auburn and the SEC have the NCAA wrapped around their little finger.

That would explain why Calipari has gone untouched at Kentucky :cool:
