So let me get this straight, USC has one player, paid by an agent. The school didn't know but the NCAA created a new barometer of responsibility...saying that because Bush was a high-profile player they were going to ignore their own standards and punish USC...this is what we call in the legal profession ex post facto.
Now here is Cam Newton. As high profile as you can get for a player right now. A player dismissed from his previous school for cheating THREE times academically AND having possession of a stolen laptop. It seems like the school and the conference knew about these incidents and didn't care...then he gets bought and sold like chattel...if USC got what they got for Reggie Bush I say Auburn gets double what USC got. Oh, I forgot Auburn is in the SEC and they have help on the COI.
The best part is it looks like right now the SEC knew about this earlier and sat on the info. I think the entire SEC needs to be banned from the BCS.
My bet is even if the NCAA found people to testify to this being the truth, no penalties for Auburn. If USC did this, they would have gotten the death penalty. LOL.
2nd chance? Florida gave him 3 before they even thought about taking action...Auburn is number 4.
As far as cheating goes, I don't believe he is accused of anything new. They are simply just bringing up the stuff that happened at Florida 2 years ago. I think the only thing he is currently being looked at for is if he asked MSU for money during recruiting.
So are we all rooting for UGA this week against Auburn?
After Friday night, it shouldn't matter....
True, helps out FCS football in the west a lot by keeping that Bell Cow school still there. A school like Montana moves up, you start getting other schools looking to move up. Hell, when NDSU and UND and the rest of the old NCC moved up to D1AA or FCS, some St. Cloud and Mankato fans were all looking at that and saying, well, why ain't we moving up. They're not nearly as well supported as those other schools.Offical now- http://www.kpax.com/news/um-staying-in-big-sky-conference/
But, to Montana's credit- at least they will be playing in a real tournament for a real National Championship.
Heard an awesome conspiracy theory about Cam Newton, on Scot VanPelt's show...
The whole thing is being made up by Nike since Auburn uses Under Armour and Phil Knight's alma mater is Oregon.
I'd say you can't make this stuff up...but, obviously, someone did.
Not to mention how ugly the score of that bowl game will be. Big East Champ last year (Cincinnati) lost by 27. Could easily be worse this year, depending on the matchup. How great would it be if Oregon gacked up a game and ended up <s>playing</s> destroying Big East Champ Connecticut....
