I'll sell it to you for $180K, unless I decide to give it away for free.

Win!

When a FAMILY MEMBER tries with AN AGENT to get money for their son, that is an UNBELIEVABLY BLATANT NCAA violation.

Cam Newton is INELIGIBLE no matter what he thought was going on. It is cut and clear. His own father tried to sell him. Doesn't matter WHO TO, he is INELIGIBLE.

And yes, it is crystal clear that it's an NCAA violation for a father to solicit money on behalf of his son.

what does the rule actually say?

Oh yeah. I forgot. It's MSU in trouble, not yall. Sorry. Best compliance department in the country and whatnot.

 

[AUTaxMan]

There's some crap. Guess it isn't 100% certain that he is ineligible now, ok, but I think most teams would have not risked the entire future of the program by starting him against a .500 team.

 

[AUTaxMan]

that's a pretty big risk. they probably thought about it before they made a final decision.

McGregor and 10 others are scheduled for arraignment Friday morning in federal court in Montgomery on charges accusing them of buying and selling votes on pro-gambling legislation.

The bigger picture here is that the Feds have been investigating Milton McGregor (A major Auburn Booster and the owner of VictoryLand, which is located just outside of Montgomery) for quite some time. The Feds are investigating efforts to pass gambling legislation in Alabama and money laundering schemes involving McGregor and other prominent Alabama politicians and Auburn boosters.

The Feds have tape from wire taps made on McGregor and other prominent Auburn boosters from their investigation. The Newton's were just shopping their talent's to the wrong people at the wrong time and thus there is hard evidence available that incriminates everyone involved. It's only a matter of time that all of this information becomes public.

FBI found out about Cam before the NCAA did while wiretapping Milton McGregor and others related to the casino/bingo indictments. They uncovered conversations with McGregor, Auburn and Cam's uncle in Michigan. McGregor paid $250K to the uncle through a PAC and other hidden entities and the uncle funneled the money to Cecil.

The FBI gave this information to the NCAA sometime after the indictments were handed down. They had to sit on the information for 6 months until the grand jury indicted the men and women in the gambling deal. All of the wiretap information was sealed and that is why the delay in investigating. The NCAA had to go to Miss St to see if Cecil had solicited money from them as well. That is why Miss St is involved. They are basically connecting all of the dots. Miss St may be cleared because they told Cecil no. He then went to Auburn. The offer was on the table from McGregor but Cam wanted to play at Miss St and not Auburn. When Miss St declined to pay him, he went to where the money was... hence the comment, "The money was too much." The FBI met with the Miss St coaches, John Bond and Bill Bell today to get their official statements.

based on what, exactly, other than internet rumor?

Some media outlets seem to want to smear this fine young man's name through the mud. If you search "Cam Newton" at ESPN, Yahoo, New York Times, Fox Sports, TMZ, etc, you will find negative articles with mounting evidence of wrong doings from this fine Christian young man who just wants to read to 4 year olds. Then, the FBI woke up one morning and said "damn.... we're bored.... I wonder what those internet rumors on Bama Online and Tider Insider are all about" so then they decided to do several interviews in several states for the hell of it.

In reality, the Red Elephant Club is orchestrating a smear campaign from behind the scenes. Jesse Jackson will soon descend on Tuscaloosa for the racially motivated hate crimes that we have witnessed.

I am seriously asking for specifics instead of all this nonsense. What exactly happened? What rule was broken? What is the punishment? I'm a lawyer, so I'm used to having to gather the facts and apply them to the law. I can't just go into the courtroom with "Well judge, it seems like _____ happened, and I think the law says __________, so you should rule for me." I know the NCAA is not a court of law, but the same general principles apply.
