Months of madness ends with a whimper | montgomeryadvertiser.com | Montgomery Advertiser
If you were expecting a climactic, bombshell ending to the depressing saga that has been the Cam Newton Recruitment Story, you were likely disappointed by Wednesday's ruling from the NCAA that the Auburn quarterback is immediately eligible to play.
But if you were simply hoping for an end to the madness and speculation, well, congrats. Because you got that.
Oh, I know what you've heard from some of the media personalities and reporters who have their reputations wrapped up in this -- they're insisting that this thing isn't over, and that it's only the beginning of a process that "could take years to sort out."
But they're grasping at straws, and they're just flat wrong.
It's over.
Reading must be optional at Awwbarn....
From the article YOU posted.
Maybe at some point, the raging fire we all kept hearing about -- the one behind all the smoke -- will be revealed. Maybe Auburn officials did pay Cecil Newton. Maybe the money was too much. Or maybe it all ends with one bad mistake that wasn't repeated.Whatever happened or didn't happen will be determined -- if it's ever determined at all -- somewhere down the road and will appear in a whole different book.
AU played a bet by making him ineligible.....it worked. The NCAA reacted quickly with the information THEY CURRENTLY HAVE so that he would be eligible for the SECCG and possibly the NC. The investigation will continue with the NCAA and FBI....
Time will tell the final results.......

You don't think that the Auburn AD knew that he'd be immediately reinstated? You think this all happens in a vacuum? The NCAA could not clear his name and reinstate him unless he was declared ineligible. You act as if the NCAA didn't even investigate this. They have, and they've found neither Auburn nor Cam culpable. The damn NCAA president released a 2nd statement yesterday defending the decision. They made the ruling, there was weeping and gnashing of tooth, then they released a second statement defending the ruling.
So we are clear, Auburn is not being investigated. There's been a ruling, and Auburn has received no PLOI. If there is more to come it's from MSU and Rogers. I know you and others are already married to the idea that Auburn and Cam are guilty, just as Jesse Ventura is married to the fact that 9/11 was an inside job and Clay Travis ("HEY EVERYONE I HAVE A LAW DEGREE BUT I CAN'T GET A 1L CONTRACT CLASS CONCEPT"). I can debunk the FBI/Lowder angle if you like, but I don't think you are dumb enough to believe the whole slush fund secret ATM card silliness.
Again, it's over. We win and you play in the Sugar Bowl (your first trip since the 79 season), let me know where to drop off an orange and blue shaker.
From the "Based on the information available to the reinstatement staff at this time, we do not have sufficient evidence that Cam Newton or anyone from Auburn was aware of this activity, which led to his reinstatement." Kevin Lennon.....
As stated before, the NCAA acted quickly on the ineligibility decision due to the pending SECCG. That is not unusual for them when a team voluntarily rules a player ineligible pending a ruling DURING a season. Notice the term "at this time".
And again....the investigation is ongoing by the NCAA and FBI. The focus is broad and not just at MSU and/or Rogers. In the final conclusion they may not find any fault with Cam and/or AU, but to think that they are currently free and clear is dreaming......
Thanks for the shaker offer but I'll let you keep them....blue/orange would just clash with my hog hat....
BTW...I don't believe that I have ever stated one way or the other my belief regarding Cam? Must be part of that ASSumption you have developed over this whole matter......
Congrats to Awwwbarn for the SECCG......job well done. Thank you from a Hawg ;-) cough, cough.....
Now then. Go Ducks! burn the Barn Down!.........
