AB, I know all ya'll reporters were crying that no one was able to scoop Cam Newton being ineligible, lol. <br /><br />My brother who's also an Auburn grad heard it on the radio in Atlanta when it broke. He said the radio people were pissed. AU held the cards close to the vest on that one. This has nothing to do with Auburn now.

He's said too much and now he's hung out to dry and won't admit it. <br /><br />The truth is that this is over as far as Cam and Auburn are concerned. The NCAA would NOT have stuck its neck out and later have to back up. They could have waited for years if they weren't comfortable with declaring Cam eligible. Rest assured that they have a team of skilled, experienced investigators who said Auburn and Cam are clean. Remember, the NCAA has been working on this since at least July, maybe earlier.<br /><br />The Mississippi State end of it may not be wrapped up yet, but as of right now Cam Newton's eligibility at Auburn is no more in question than any of the other 10,000 NCAA athletes across the country.MikePnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-19138204664482560512010-12-01T20:49:04.779-06:002010-12-01T20:49:04.779-06:00I said all along this would turn out fine...

But guys like Joe Schad are not going to stop with their ominous sounding adjectives which continue to stir the pot of doubt.<br />.<br />The simple fact remains, as long as Auburn paid no money and the Newtons did not receive money then there is no crime. Only the Thought Police can arrest people for contemplating and then changing their minds about possible wrong-doing.<br />.<br />I don't know why this is so hard for people to accept.

They set the line under that assumption...this ruling changes nothing. I would also say that if someone in the NCAA is in the business of reporting their rulings to Vegas bookies, that is an investigation waiting to happen. The game was pulled because of Garcia's injuries and uncertainies regarding his playing on Saturday. <br /><br />Vegas bookies aren't some sort of all-knowing deities. They make their calls based on facts.

The school has not been found of wrongdoing.<br /><br />While the NCAA matter is not closed (and enforcement issues are usually finalized long after eligibility issues from what I've read), I don't think that would be something that would focus on Auburn.

That combined with how far along the investigation seemingly is seems to be a pretty good sign that Cam is going to be in the clear on this.<br /><br />Again, this is just to the extent of my understanding of the process and what was going on.<br /><br />*Also, Andy, that is an interesting note that the Vegas books took the lines down.
