Scam Newton saga

Said it before, say it again, Slive is going to be the death of this conference. Folks that don't like the SEC because of our football prowess, now have another place to hang their hats. The word "dirty" soon will be used extensively when refering to the SEC. What is that phrase . . . one bad apple ruins the barrel. Too bad when that apple is the supposed leader of a conference that laid a lot of ground work over the years, prior to him showing up.

Heard a remark earlier today that the NCAA is a bit afraid of this case, with the SEC being a huge money conference.

Example given on money to coaches. Word was/is out that Florida has Chip Kelly of Oregon at the top of their board. Think that is probably one reason that UM came running back so quickly. If he had remained "retired", Jeremy Foley, Athletic Director of Florida and their $94.6 million athletic program would have hired Kelly. The money being paid to the SEC coaches is too good to pass up, ask Saban and others.

Hate to be so damn negative, just feel like the "trash" is going to take all of us down with them. Trash such as Slive, SEC Commissioner and Cecil Newton, Minister. Both playing the dollar game . . . My opinion.

This is not good for college sports

Good article Buc - Haden is not alone in trying to understand this ruling

Like we've been saying - it's just too much money now

I do still think that auby maybe in trouble from the feds - with 2 of their directors being indicted for fraud and money laundering and other stuff - IF they are able to connect auby to ANY wrong doing - the feds will not hesitate to throw down the hammer - they could care less about the football implications or the ncaa - the cam stuff is nothing compared to what may have happened at auby - they will be in jeopardy of loosing their accreditation

It would be nice if the feds do get them if they find that slive new anything - maybe he'll be in jail with the rest of them

And yes - Valdosta used to find jobs for parents of players they wanted

GO DAWGS

Yeah, there have been stories around here for years about a couple of certain high schools this way. They are also true so I am sure that Valdosta has had their fair share timely transfers. It has happened in college sports for years as well. But the thing about it is, the NCAA has never tried to sweep it under the rug until now.

Players, and parent's getting paid doesn't shock me. It has been happening since I have been old enough to pay attention to the sport. But, like I said earlier, the NCAA usually doesn't make light of the situation. In the past, the NCAA has hammered down hard enough on the teams under violation that everyone else immediately started monitoring what they were doing to make sure they weren't next.

Now, why should they worry. Hell, all anyone has to do know is say that Jr. didn't know I was shopping him around. Or the University had no idea we were paying his parents a couple of hundred thousand. I guess they believe that it was just the luck of the draw that he ended up in the plains. I mean he absolutely loved MSU and Dan Mullens, I guess he just had a last minute change of heart.

I guess they have better things to do like suspend a kid for 4 games that has never been caught cheating on an exam, or been caught with stolen laptops. Who they tried to bust for going to an agent thrown party. They discover he is not there, and discover that he sold his jersey to a person over the internet. A person he had never met. Not to mention, he didn't even have to tell them that. He was just being honest. Then, the only suspend the kid that took money from the agent to go to the party for 2 games. While, the kid that didn't knowingly do anything wrong, get suspended for 4 games.

FUNNY HOW THE PLAYER ON THE #1 TEAM IN THE NATION ONLY WAS SUSPENDED FOR 2 GAMES WHEN HIS VIOLATION WAS MORE SIGNIFICANT. THEN, NEWTON IS NOT GOING TO GET SUSPENDED AT ALL. GO FIGURE, HE IS ON THE CURRENT #1 TEAM. KEEP DOING YOUR JOB SLIVE. You are a damn crook my friend, and I hope your days are numbered. Slive has got to go
