FBI now investigating Cam Newton Story

[IrishLax]

Just listened to the most recent information on ESPN... there is a 100% chance that Cecil Newton solicited money for Cameron Newton and 99.5% chance that he took money to go to Auburn. Cannot imagine what it would be like if this was a Notre Dame player. Auburn could get the death penalty over this.

they'll wait until the end of season to do anything, if they do anything, so if Auburn wins the National Championship and Newton wins the Heisman. They can always say "well they are the rightfull winners because they played on the field"

just like the Bush thing, they were stripped of their wins and Bush gave his Heisman back but everyone still sees them as the winner.

not that it's right and it would be nice to see the same thing happen like what happened at UNC, but just hard to imagine they would pull the trigger any time soon, unless they come right out and confess

Or they uncover bank records proving wrongdoing. Chances are he was smart enough to launder it well through his church or put the money under the mattress. Well, then again, asking for money is pretty idiotic so maybe he was dumb enough to cash a check.

Death penalty? Doubtful. It's one athlete. It would have to be something 5x worse than what USC did...along the lines of SMU. Plus that would put an end to one of CFB's top rivalry games =(

Also whoever said the SEC had a pact to not tell on each other obviously doesn't know that Philip Fulmer invented snitching

If it comes out that the paid Cam, then they will be under heavy investigation for the entire school. If they paid one guy, odds are pretty good they paid many more.

Each day this gets more intresting i am now begining to think there was some kind of wrong doing going on here.

No matter what the outcome is of all of this, the incompetence of the SEC in this whole thing is breathtaking.

It may be a while before the whole story comes out and the dust settles.

I hope not. The absolute worst thing would be if he plays out the whole season and then is ruled ineligible. It's not impossible that we would retroactively end up with no Heisman winner and no national champ this year.

I wonder if this will take votes away from him getting the HT. Since the whole deal that happen with Bush Alot of people might not want to see that happen again
