ESPN's involvement here. May be completely false but just to ponder...

Who's to say this isn't all being leaked to Bristol from Birmingham on account of their multi million $$$ tv deal? ESPN finds out there may be a story here, makes some calls to the league office, gets the run around, then says wait a minute here, we pay you guys tons of money every year. The least you could do is throw us a bone or two for giving you the exposure and dollars we give your conference. An agreement is reached and little by little, the story is told. Call it maroon blinders but I refuse to believe we have coaches and officials dumb enough to go behind the conference's back and report this to the media. Now to another subject, I'm lost on where in what's been released so far, why Auburn or anyone else would reach the conclusion that we've turned them in. Based on what's been released and only on what's been released, we've turned over the Newton's seeking money and the agent's involvement. That's it. Nowhere have we seen a MSU official say "Auburn paid Cam Newton". If they did, it will come to light but based on what's been leaked out so far, I've yet to see a story implying that MSU point blank turned Auburn in so that part needs to be corrected. Like most things in life, you do the right thing and get very little credit for it.</p>

They leaked this story last week so more people would watch the Marcus Dupree 30 for 30. The similarities are striking between Newton and Dupree.

because "the money was too much" after the family had already had Rogers do a shakedown on us, I'm not sure what else can be determined from that other than Auburn paid Cam Newton (or Cecil).

I don't see how our "recruitors" told the ncaa this stuff from july to now, we just leaked it to espn for a story ...that don't add up when we can't find crap out about a coaching search, injuries, an ad search ...that AD is tight lipped on everything, now we just are suppose to think that MSU is leaking info to ESPN for a Joe Schad story

I don't think so... I think the NCAA has some leaks
no way in hell MSU would want to be tied to an ESPN story with the sadness of Bell and Bama a week away...

• Tony Barnhart of the AJC wrote that MSU did exactly what it was supposed to do: "Any member school with information that NCAA rules may have been broken – by its institution or another institution – has the obligation to turn that information over to the conference office. Failure to do so is in itself a violation of SEC rules. So if it had sat on the information and not turned it in, Mississippi State would have had a problem."
