Does anybody really believe Auburn paid Cam Newton?

After the Bama victory over Texas I made a bet with a friend from church that Auburn would get in NCAA trouble soon. They are extremelydesperate to remove the "little brother" stigma from their football program. Lo and behold, after Bama climbs back to the top of college football, Auburn has it's best recruiting class in years (possibly ever) on the heels of a very mediocre season. Michael Dyer heads to the plains. They swoop in and nab Newton out of nowhere. It's obvious to anyone who's not blinded by loyalty or idiocy that the Auburn boosters pulled out all the stops to make sure they didn't get left in Saban & Bama's wake. I mean, basically the same thing happened about 18 years ago. To paraphrase Mike Golic...<div>
</div><div>If Cameron wanted to go to Mississippi State (confirmed), and Cecil Newton was actively looking for a handout (confirmed), then why did he go to Auburn?</div><div>
</div><div>The answer is the only part of this story yet to be confirmed. Auburn boosters rented the 17ing mule. When the investigation is over, the greatest season in Auburn's history is going to be vacated. If I was an Auburn fan, I wouldn't much care. If they win in Glendale, no governing body can take it away. It's not like the NCAA can change history.In short, the boosters will have gotten what they paid for.</div><div>
</div><div>As a State fan, it sucks because I think we would have had a chance to be in the same position had Cam made the choice instead of Cecil. Such is the life of a State fan. Except in 1941 of course...</div>

I could see that scenario, but it would work out this way: Cecil tried to sell his kid but it didn't work. In the process he drove schools away. The only one left was Auburn, thus the last minute decision to choose Auburn.

Still, the most probably scenario is they paid.

The most important issue isn't whether or not they paid. Auburn could be totally innocent as far as paying Cam goes and Cam should still be ineligible, Auburn should be 0-12, Arkansas should have played for the SEC title, and TCU should play Oregon for the BCS title. Auburn paying doesn't matter, Cam should be ineligible. I hope Auburn loses every game from here on out and that the SEC never wins another national title because of all of this. Slive is a scumbag.
