I believe I am getting this correct on the most recent events, the NCAA has ruled Cam eligible because he apparently knew nothing about his dad shopping him around. They clearly stated that Cecil admitted to trying to receive money for his son, but somehow he is still eligible.
I guess this is not weird to the NCAA. Cam wants to go to MSU. Doesn't go because apparently Aub made a better offer. MSU goes public with the information. The Newtons deny everything only to admit the Cecil did want cash. Now, Cam is eligible because there is no evidence that Aub paid Cecil or that Cam new anything about it. How hard is this to figure out.
Plus the rule does not say that the athlete must be aware of the unfair benefit, it states that if a family member or representative seeks an unfair advantage, that athlete is immediately ineligible. Funny how they pick their battles.
