Ok, we've been waiting 1/2 the season to see if Cam Newton would be eligible to finish the football season as a player for the Auburn Tigers. Simple review of the situation is that his father demanded & received $200,000 for his son to play football at Auburn. Supposedly, Cam knew nothing of this, therefore it makes it acceptable, at least on his part, the NCAA has ruled. No idea what repercussions his father will suffer if any or the agent. This was a pay to play scenario, so it seems Cam would have known somehow, someway of this situation, as choices of where to play came about & why.
What this story does is teach us that so long as our children/athlete with a chance to play a college sport can act dumb about a parent getting money, it is acceptable, at least from the athlete's side of the argument. I'm certain that Cam & his father had some sort of decent relationship so I find it hard to believe the son knew nothing of this. If he didn't & received nothing from the father, wow, thanks Dad, for illegally cashing in on my success.
If the father & the agent are not pursued (& Cam in some sort of way), this is going to open a huge Pandora's box.
Newton cleared to play!!!
