Auburn/Cam Newton situation (merged)

[KB5252]

So the official response goes from "he's eligible" to "no comment". More fuel to the fire.

 

[TOP]

Hypothetically... Auburn makes the National Championship and Newton doesn't play. They win the championship and later Newton is found guilty of improper benefits. Would Auburn have to forfeit the championship?

Obviously they'd have to forfeit every regular season game and without those games, they never make the championship. None the less, they are forfeiting them because Newton played. What happens to the championship if he didn't play in the game?

Might be re-submitting my pick-em selections if word comes out that he won't play.

 

[Lexvol]

Hhhmmmmm ditto

I see what you did there.

Per Tracy Wolfson - Just confirmed with auburn their official response to Cam's eligibility is "no comment"

Hmmmmm

Wow. You still think there's no substance to all these allegations?

 

[golfballs]

we need some inside info. get codyg on here.

If he's not eligible is Auburn suddenly 0-9?

 

[PennVol]

Auburn undercover is reporting that Newton will start tomorrow...I'm sure he will be totally focused on the game.

I can't believe the NCAA won't just step in and say he is ineligible. People have gone to jail for life over less evidence/testimony than this...

 

[volmanbill]

I wonder if this situation will cost AU any votes in the polls?

So what's with the FBI involvment? Daddy Newton using his church to wash money?

Bribery

They will have to wrap it up soon. They don't want the bcs marred in scandal. This is pretty rapid for the ncaa. I feel certain this will concluded before the sec champ game. Doesn't look good. How often is the fbi involved as well. As a matter of fact this is his second time involved with the feds.

 

[volmanbill]

AU might as well play him. They're screwed if it all comes down later anyway.

 

[IPorange]

When the FBI got involved, you know this shtuff was real.

 

[volberry]

How do you feel about this situation? Do you feel Cam and his fam did these things and it will come out? Are you upset at the school over this? Just want to hear from you specifically.

Auburn's AD will not confirm him playing tomorrow....

'No Comment"

I'm waiting for Vegas to take this game off the board.

Probably... If they had to forfeit all the wins they got to get to that point, then I'd think so.

I thought it had been already for some time? As well as Heisman odds.

 

[tigervol9802]

They put it back up.

Word was, it was off yesterday.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

They also are probably running odds on Auburn's and Newton's chances.

 

[BeecherVol]

They put it back up.

There ya go.

The off-shore books all still have it up:

Looks like one Vegas book has taken it down:
