I don't think he did. It's not like Auburn is some party school for spoiled children like Southern Cal.Anyone here not believe he got paid to go to Auburn?
We will soon find out if Auburn is a university with a football team or a football team that justifies its existence with a university.
If they don't bench Cam they are fools.
Here's what I think... They won't bench Cam, because without him, they will not win games anyway. At least by playing him, there is the chance this will all blow over and go away, and they get to keep all the wins. At this point, it would look like they are admitting to the allegations, if they benched him. I think they will continue to play him, and hope for the best. It's really their only option at this point.
What will be interesting, is how this might effect his game. If he really is guilty of wrongdoing, and he knows he is about to get caught up in an intense investigation, it could certainly start to spill over on the field. It's really going to be funny if Auburn wins yet another National Championship with an asterisk beside it. Poor saps can't catch a break!
The problem is, prior to this past week there was not enough information to back up the allegations. In the last week there have been several new witnesses and more information come out. If they bench him now, their season is shot but they can claim they didn't know. If they play him now, there will be additional sanctions and penalties in the future.
Cecil Newton has confessed! Reportedly he confessed to asking for money for his son to play at MS State. Cam is toast!!
