Vegas put it back on thursday am. I just happened to hear a radio interview yesterday about it. Kinda surprised it still is though.

104.5 the Zone just reported that the NCAA put AU on notice that Newton has eligibility issues.

Sounds like the NCAA has enough information to raise doubt about his eligibility. No more rumors if this is true, Auburn is likely in very hot water right now.

In practical terms it just means that they will have to forfeit games if they keep playing him and wrongdoing is found.

I agree, at this point they are putting Auburn on notice. Likely because his father soliciting money makes him an agent thus putting his eligibility in question. I'm fairly confident if even half the reports turn out correct that there is much more to this story.

I would think that if they continue to play him after knowing of issues that the NCAA would not look kindly on that down the road.

Starting to really think that Florida dodged a bullet with this guy, and particularly his Dad.

They have gotta play him now.. If he is ineligable now he was at the beginning. Although with the NCAA putting them on notice I guess that means something special. I do not know why however, either they new and cheated or they did not, regardless of the NCAA's notice....

If they continue to play him after the NCAA notice that means double secret probation instead of just secret probation I guess..

At this point, I care not a fig for how long Auburn and MSU sit in the doghouse....more players for us maybe. What burns my butt (besides flames 3' high) is that I have both Aubie and Oregon on my college fantasy football teams list and I was cruising for an easy win.

Assume that Auburn did not do anything for which it can be penalized but that Cam Newton is later ruled ineligible for using a street agent or something. From this point forward Auburn has notice that Cam may be ruled ineligible. They play him at their own risk whether they as a program did anything wrong or not.

That's pretty much sums it up. As soon as the school knows or has reasonable suspicion to know that there is an eligibility issue, they should sit the player.

The NCAA I guess has already warned Auburn, the thing is no warning is really necessary. At this point, if they continue to play then it will just add to Auburn's problems unless in fact he did not try to get money.

The problem really isn't the payment, it will be Auburn ignoring the obvious. LSU had a paid player last year, matter of fact it was a JUCO player, and a LSU coach was paying him. LSU found out about it, benched the player from playing and did an investigation. Eventually the player and coach were dismissed. LSU reported it all to the NCAA.

As far as I know there wasn't even a NCAA investigation, it was self-reporting. Auburn is trying to ignore the obvious. If the kid were the punter we wouldn't even be talking about this, the coach would have immediately benched him. The coach and the AD are a bunch of retards at this point.

This will be Auburn's 8th major violation with most of them with football, Auburn continues the circus and they are going to be hurting for a decade.

I was laughing my butt off the other day when the coach was like Cam is eligible. Well, the thing is, the NCAA normally isn't going to make a quick decision on that, the retard doesn't even understand it's the responsibility of the school to get this under control.

ESPN reporting ESPN investigating Auburn over the Cam Newton fiasco. Sounds like Auburn could be in some serious trouble. Thoughts?

Not breaking news but if Auburn doesnt sit him now they will have the same fate at USC.. Maybe we can get some players if they are issued the same deal...

It will be worse then what happened to USC, much worse. All starting to hear reports that the agent guy talked with Auburn coaches as well. If this is the case, well, then the coaches are all gone there as well. We'll see.

Does anybody believe that "IF" Newton was paid to come to AU, that Jacobs and Chizik knew nothing about it? I mean what are they going to say if they are involved "Yeah we are guilty, but until somebody can prove it, we are gonna keep on playin him" At this point all they can do to save their a$$ is deny deny deny. If AU really payed him to come, I hope the AA burns them to the ground. 200 grand ain't the same as a 100$ handshake. At first I didn't think it was true, but this is beginning to smell like a stockyard.
