Auburn spent $170k on legal fees for Newton case

What does it take to win a national championship? In order to keep preserve Cam Newton's eligibility, Auburn University was willing to shell out six figures.

The Birmingham News reported Wednesday that Auburn has spent approximately $170,000 in attorney fees during the ongoing Cam Newton NCAA investigation. Lightfoot, Franklin, White LLC, the school's Birmingham-based legal counsel has once again pulled in the big bucks defending a high profile NCAA investigation.

Michigan paid the same firm $600,000 during its recent infractions case, and Connecticut paid $338,000 over 12 months during the investigation of the Huskies basketball program.

As the report details, spending such a large amount of money for legal counsel is not unusual with such a high profile investigation. After all, Auburn was competing for a national championship - a reward that holds no price tag in the hearts of Tiger fans.

However, if you are measuring dollar amounts against each other, it should be noted that Auburn's need for legal assistance is likely far from complete. The NCAA has issued no ruling to completely close the Newton case at Auburn. Some would assume with Newton gone, the trouble would go away. But after a Heisman Trophy and National Championship, this story isn't fading away any time soon.

I hope they know that this media money cow has dried up at this point.

The D.B. Cooper case is still "open" too.

The case to prove Tuberville sucked is still open too, and like the Newton case, the ones that want it proved most have resorted to conjecture and speculation to "prove" it.

I don't think he sucked, he just lost focus on recruiting during his last few seasons.  And he thought every recruit was a perfect offensive lineman.  Other than that, he was a solid coach.

You're not one of the band of idiots offering conjecture of what games he would have lost, or what players he would have misused this past season to support your "I hate Tubs and can never pass up an opportunity to take a shot at him" mentality.

You're right, I'm not.  I'm in the "I'm going to see if I can get another thread heading in the direction of Tubberville = God/Satan like I did in the last one, where I took a thread about Saban over signing (which I've already stated that I didn't like) and threw up some bullshit numbers of Auburn signing more in the last 4 years, so I could bait Prowler into calling Tuberville out for piss poor recruiting, thus causing a 84 page pissing contest, because I'm bored and need something to read" group.

Now, carry on.

When I hear an ass out in a field braying, I'm sometimes compelled to bray back.

You call it braying.  I call it entertainment.
