Notice he never says Cecil didn't take any money.

Yea, I kept waiting for the reporter to ask that directly.

If they don't wrap this thing up, I'm gonna get fired for spending all of my time on this computer.

You're strict.

I'm sure that was right after the crowd expressed how cool they are by joining together to sing "lean on me" in honor of a criminal.

Hahaha, what a pathetic joke. I hope everything is ripped from them, so I can laugh at their fan base, and mock their tears. Screw that whole cheating program.

I've given up on the idea anything will come of this before the season is over, especially if anybody with the SEC's best interest at heart (Slive) has anything to say about it.

It took the NCAA 5 years to close the Reggie Bush case. Anyone who thinks the NCAA gets this resolved in the next 2 months is delusional.

Over on BOL there are rumblings that Cecil Newton contacted UNC. It's just speculation but we've heard
the NCAA pulled a dozen or so agents from UNC to Auburn, now i'm hearing 28. Could this be due to a connection or in the name expediency? If it's in the name of expediency i'm optimistic in time frame far shorter than 2 years, but before the end of this season I would be truly, unbelievably shocked.

After reading this post i'm now editing it as you said 2 months, not 2 years.- My bad

Investigators moved from UNC to Auburn according to another site.

Most ill-timed Chizik quote on Cam: "He's done a remarkable job at this being a business for him, handling it like this is his job."

Freudian slip, dumb comment- call it what you will, it was certainly ill- timed.

So if the NCAA does rule him ineligible, how many days does the replacement team (LSU) need to make arrangements to go to Atlanta? My guess is LSU would need to know early in the week to practice, but may be willing to do it if they knew by Tuesday.
Or if the NCAA does it after the SECCG and Auburn wins out can and will the BCS reshuffle the bowls? That would seem to almost be impossible as the dominos of teams moving up a bowl game would affect nearly every bowl game. But the alternative would be to have the other team in the BCSNCG declared the winner and cancel the game. So it seems to me that the NCAA has to make a decision this year by next Tuesday if they are going to do it this year to avoid complete chaos.

My guess as far as LSU and the SECCG goes LSU would be happy getting the news with only enough time as needed to travel to Atlanta. But LSU is not the only team with a chance to get their. However simply ruling CAM ineligible wont do the trick. If I understand correctly, at this point, the only way AU does not get to Atlanta is that the SEC would have to disqualify AU, games 1- present, not vacate- that is punishment handed down by the NCAA and they havent even served AU with a PLOI- yet. But if the SEC does dq AU at some point between now and the SECCG, the LSU/ARK game this Saturday would be for the west title. There are rumblings out there that this could happen- but I would not hold my breath. As for the rest of the bowl games and the BCS- I would imagine that is why almost everybody in the country is an ALABAMA fan this week- including the NCAA offices!

Can anyone sum up all the evidence or speculations?

Source: Booster meets state officials

Mississippi State booster Bill Bell was interviewed last Wednesday by the Mississippi secretary of state's office as part of the investigation into Kenny Rogers' involvement in the recruitment of Auburn star quarterback Cameron Newton, a source familiar with the matter said Monday.

Bell met with investigators for nearly two hours at Bell's attorney’s office in Montgomery, Ala. The secretary of state's office had subpoenaed Bell.

According to the source, the agency is investigating whether Rogers violated state agent laws by acting as an intermediary between Bell and Newton’s father, Cecil Newton Sr.

The NCAA is also investigating the Newton pay-for-play allegations and has interviewed Bell and Rogers about the matter.

As I read the story, I wonder if the MS attorney general is thinking that Cam's dad may have violated the MS sports agent laws acting as an agenct for his son. If so, he probably won't find a sympathetic jury in MS. Wonder if they'd let Mr. Newton watch Cam's NFL debut on the Parchman cellblock?
