is he referring to in that statement? State didn't turn any school in in this process.

The SEC's interest is aligned with Auburn's. But, it's all about the money. Once the checks are deposited, Slive will quietly sneak out while the NCAA is breaking down the doors. They can take the trophies back, but not the money.

The writer assumes State did the leaking and they did in that Bond made the public statement. I don't thnk Bond wanted to make that statement but felt he had to.So who did the leaking and why? I don't think it was in MSU interests to do it and stir up the **** storm of negativity that followed. Only reason I see is that we felt Slive wasn't going to do anything except throw us under the bus and then put in reverse and run over us again.

which in effect serves the same purpose given it could render Cam ineligible and derail Auburn's season. But that doesn't change the fact that Auburn has known about these issues since late summer and THEY made the decision to thumb their collective noses at the situation and play Newton from the first game until today. They were not blindsided by this a week and a half ago. I guess it is interesting that he basically is saying that MSU (possibly through Bond) is pushing this in the media to get MUCH faster justice on Newton than the pace the NCAA would prefer to move at.

Because the answer has nothing to do with CN's eligibility. Or did just totally miss the sarcasm???

Another thing being blown out of proportion by the Auburn/media is that crooked MSU kept recruiting him even after the money offer. Did we really? How long after the offer and Cam signed? Less than a month?And even during that time it was becoming more and more obvious he was losing interest.

it doesn't appear that anybody associated with this series of events mentioned the University of Auburn. All that's come out is that a request for $180k was turned down.

because if he signs legitimately which seems to be the only way State was going to allow it to happen - then we get him - we don't report anything and everything is all good.

if he was ineligible for them as soon as daddy asked for money, he was ineligible for us as well. Whether we reported it or not doesn't change the fact that he was ineligible. Basically they are calling us hypocrites.</p>

That would be stupid. Hell yeah, it's hypocritical. I'll take hypocritical with a 10-0 or 9-1 record.

by <span style="font-weight: bold;">or on behalf of</span> a student athlete (I learned this just last week) but would that necessarily mean the player is ineligible if he didn't know about the solicitation? I wonder if your coaches knew that rule too.

of being more than just hypocrites by more people than just the Aubies and I think ignorance of the rules will go over with the NCAA like a turd in a punch bowl.

Which is flawed because we wouldn't necessarily have played him just because we recruited him. They are trying to also say we broke a rule. Which we only would have done if we recruited him, played him, then this got out. No rule breakage in recruiting him though.

Ask Paul about it. He remembers. Their reports are almost daily records of the ebb and flow of Mississippi State's recruitment of Newton. Any and all changes in MSUs approach can be verified.

if the player knew about the solicitation or not. it sets a very dangerous precedent if the player is still eligible, then it becomes plausible deniability on the part of the solicitor and solicitee. with as much attention as the newton saga has gotten i think the NCAA is going to make a statement and an example that solicitation of any kind is not permissible.
