I bet he still will claim he got absolutely nothing from Auburn.

He has nothing to gain from admitting that.

it wouldn't matter if he got anything from AU ...just the fact that he was soliciting is enough

getting destroyed by the NCAA beyond this year. However, they can kiss this season goodbye and go 17 themselves. If everything we are hearing from our camp is true, I just can't see how there wasn't something dirty going down at Auburn - it may never be discovered, but for them to come in and sign him that late in the game is way too conspicuous - it always was. Thus, Auburn (well, mainly Cecil) stole a QB from us who wanted to play for us and possibly cost us a shot at Atlanta.

is that it is a violation for a player, or someone acting on the players behalf, to solicit cash or other benefits.<div>
</div><div>If Cecil comes out and says, "I tried to get money from MSU for myself, not for my son. I have done a horrible thing. Cam did not know about any of this. I did this all for myself, and I am sorry about everything," then he could, potentially, save his son's career. He'd essentially be saying that he wasn't acting on Cam's behalf. If the NCAA agrees, then there's no violation.</div><div>
</div><div>I've gotta say that, if there are tapes, and everyone knows their +%$@!@, then this may be the only option.</div><div>
</div><div>Again, I could be wrong, but that was my reading of the rule.</div>

to admit soliciting MSU and deny any payment from Auburn. Auburn would then lose this season but maybe not incur additional penalties etc. I think Auburn would be ill advised to encourage him to do something like that with the FBI involved.</p>

I guess, but I would imagine that Cecil would have a hard time convincing the NCAA that Cam had no knowledge of the situation. Its not like Cecil is some distant cousin, or great uncle by marriage, or a HS coach (Albert Means); he is Cam's dad.

Plus, there is the little quote floating around that Cam called a MSU "recruiter" to apologize for picking AU, but the money was just too much. If, IF, any kind of evidence can be provided to establish that quote, then this possible scenario blows up.

its been well documented that Cecil, not Cam, PICKED the school. So to say Cam could somehow avoid any consequences on this by a school being solicited not by Cam but by the guy who had the power to decide where Cam would play is beyond ridiculous. If he was to get by with that he would have laid a golden blueprint for all recruits in the future on how to skirt the rules. Get a family member to negotiate your deal and then claim ignorance and you are good to go.

he didn't run out on the field. He didn't enroll in classes. Cecil may have told him where to go, and Cam, being a good son, went where he said. That doesn't mean that Cecil was "acting on Cam's behalf" when he spoke with the two coaches. Your argument is completely irrelevant.<div>
</div><div>Look there's a reason the rule reads that way. <div>
</div><div>Let's say I promise Houston Nutt that I will deliver Marcus Dupree for the low low price of 250k. If Nutt turns me in, it shouldn't keep Marcus from playing because Marcus doesn't know who I am.</div><div>
</div><div>Now, my relationship with Marcus is much more distant than Cam's and his Dad's, but that doesn't mean that the sins of the father are immediately placed on the son. As noted above, if Cam said told a recruiter over the phone that he couldn't go to MSU "because the money was too much" then he shows he was complicit in the scheme. However, according to the SEC, those phone calls were not reported by MSU in January.</div></div>

the part about Cecil not being the one who made the decision to play or the party about the NCAA believing that Cam didn't know anything about it?<div>
</div><div>Because if I wasn't clear, I think the second part is totally reaching, but not outside the realm of possibility.</div>

you are still reaching. Cecil trying to save some face for his son doesn't change that.

NCAA lets AU know they may be on thin ice if Newton plays tomorrow. Pressure is on Sr. to come clean before AU gets screwed?

whose Father controlled everything even while he was a minor and he still got dinged for it by the NCAA. idn't seem to matter that he had no control over the situation. Now you are trying to tell me that a 20 YEAR OLD can get by with "ignorance" because it was a greedy, low-life Father pimping him and he just couldn't figure out what was going on.
