NCAA investigating Cam Newton for taking cash
Just hit ESPN. I guess that's one way that Bama can beat Auburn this year.

So if Auburn is undefeated after the SEC Championship game, but the Cam Newton thing hasn't been figured out, do you think either the BCS or Heisman Trust will DQ Auburn/Newton?
If they have Auburn in the Nat'l Championship game, and Auburn wins, and a month later he is found guilty, what then? |

The NCAA is praying that Saban beats Auburn so this Newton mess isn't a cloud over the BCS championship game. |

Such a two-faced society we are. How many millions are other people making off of star college athletes while they risk injuries that could keep them from making money in the pros?
While I don't think a school should be able to buy a national championship, I do find it unfair that everyone else involved makes a shitpile of money off of these kids, but they are required to get nothing and risk everything. It's also not even illegal. It's just against collegiate rules, and the punishment is they can't play anymore. They won't ever be able to stop this behavior. It is simply supply and demand. |

When Cam Newton goes to McDonalds he orders water and then fills his cup with Coke.

Players get more out of it than just education, too. They get coaching, strength & conditioning, medical care, etc. None of them are proven stars. They might get hurt (in which the school still pays their scholarship). For the guys who will eventually go pro, the athletic program is also preparing them for it. All of that costs $$ and is valuable to the athlete.

I like how nobody is pointing out that if Newton was only playing for money, and he's now at Auburn, perhaps they're not clean in this....
