More negative press on Cam Newton.
Report: Cam Newton left Florida after charges of academic cheating - Campus Rivalry: College Football & Basketball News, Recruiting, Game Picks, and More - USATODAY.com
Is it for real, or is it coming from a frustrated Alabama fan or somewhere else?
Listened to Sirius 122 this afternoon. Lots of opinions.
What I know from being a professor is that, due to FERPA, this info is very confidential. At UF and at other schools with which I'm familiar, honor code infractions are handled by a student committee with at least one faculty representative as a member and under the umbrella of the Dean of Students.
Also athletes sign away their rights of academic privacy to the Athletic Department, even in colleges/universities that don't offer athletic scholarships, like Div. III schools. So there are a lot of people along the way that have access to the info -- the professor, students on the UF Student Conduct Committee, the Athletic Department, the Dean of Students, etc.
Who knows where it leaked if it is true. It is also a matter of public record that Newton had 13 traffic violations in 14 months. In the opinion of many people, all of these various reports show a character flaw in Newton. As many sports network talking-heads have said, USA Today wouldn't print this info if they weren't certain that the cheating accusations are true.
