The more information that surfaces, the more this seems bogus.
The AP reporting today that Cam's eligibility is not in question.
Auburn has not receive a Letter of Inquiry
Rogers himself finally spoke out today and says he has no idea how his name was brought into this, he had no contact with Auburn during the recruitment of Newton and the allegations are patently false.
Even the sportswriters that broke the stories last night have started to backtrack and soften their stance. Schlabach said on OTL tonight that Cam isn't in jeopardy at Auburn and Auburn is not under the gun. Hell, even Finebaum is on our side. Fiutak wrote an article today that is a complete 180 compared to his stories yesterday. ESPN has been scrolling throughout the afternoon that Rogers had no contact with Auburn--so that means ESPN and Rogers say Rogers didn't call Auburn. All credible sources are still reporting that Auburn is not the focus of this investigation.
A HUGE point that so many here, and even on the AU boards are missing, the investigation is into the dealings of the agent. Period. The NCAA has promised to toughen their stance on the actions of agent and have stated that they will take the complaints more seriously so they can head these issues off before athletes lose their eligibility. No one has taken the time to think that this investigation is to prevent people like this doucher agent from actually hurting someone?
For those that want Cam Newton on the field on 11/26--I applaud you. It takes a stand-up person to want the opposing team at full strength when you play them. For those that are praying he's ineligible, keep licking your chops, I believe you'll find yourself sorely upset shortly after kickoff when Cam leads the offense out onto the field. The team, the staff and the AU Family have rallied around Cam. All this story has done is provide motivation for a other-worldly talented, driven kid now has all the motivation in the world to prove the naysayers wrong. Aside from the talk about him being ineligible, there is now talk about the distraction and how it will take his eye off the prize, so to speak. I pray that by some miracle UF plays just above mediocre enough to get to Atlanta and that we get by Bama in Tuscaloosa. I would not want to be a member of Urban's defense that night.
As much as I have enjoyed arguing this point, I will steer clear of this thread and let you guys have your moment in the sun. Rest assured that with all of the information that has been reported now, Cam Newton is very much a part of this football team and will be eligible and play in every game we have remaining.
