I'm surprised at the quantity of people, especially in the major media, who refuse to eat crow and let it go.
They all think they know more than the NCAA after nearly 100 interviews, phone and bank record audits, and essentially a deep anal probe of Auburn. But they "just know" he's guilty. They don't have any proof to back that up. Except, of course, the semantics game that Joe Schad reported that a still anonymous source said Cam was on a voicemail tape (that still hasn't surfaced) that said "the money was too much." As far as I'm concerned "the money was too much" was a complete fabrication. That, and the fact that what we supposedly
know for a
fact is that he "shopped his son around." USA Today worded a quote from an anonymous source that "Cecil Newton Admits to seeking money from a former Mississippi State Player". I think this, again, is a semantics play. I'm seeking money too, if they're offering. The fact
that Cecil didn't "seek" money from any other team that recruited him, and oh yeah...the fact that the NCAA found no wrongdoings at Auburn, shouuld tell you that the problem started and ended at MSU. From the coaches...err...boosters...errr..."recruiters"...who made the offer to Dan Mullen himself.
ESPN has egg on their face for perpetuating these rumors, so now they either flat out ignore his exoneration, or have their "opinion" guys discuss how it was a miscarriage of justice. Again, I say, on what do you base this besides your need to be "right"?
