Cam Newton Offered Cash to Attend Miss State?

Story from ESPN

This is such b.s. and I hope this gets cleared up before it has a chance to affect his Heisman hopes.

We'll see what ends up happening, he's still eligible to play at Auburn.geaux321

Yeah but he most likely wont be back next year :(

I just want to know why Urban Meyer advised Mullen to make this public.geaux321

Jealousy. 

I just want to know why Urban Meyer advised Mullen to make this public.geaux321

Where'd that come from?

6. Why did Bond decide to come forward, and why now?

Bond said during a radio interview that he felt like the story would have been published anyway, and he only told the truth. Now, he says, he's being berated simply for doing the right thing.

The Auburn Bureau of the Press-Register, Birmingham News and Huntsville Times reported that Bond discussed the potential story several months ago with Mullen and Florida coach Urban Meyer. Meyer expressed anger at illegal recruiting and said he wanted to take the story public.

Meyer has denied that report through a spokesperson. Bond more or less denied it during the same radio interview. Mullen has a media teleconference today in which he said that he hadn't thought of Newton's recruitment since December and that he was convinced that everyone associated with MSU did the right thing.

7. Why did Meyer and/or Mullen care so much?

Well, they may still have their suspicions about the recruiting process.

Look at the timeline from MSU's perspective: The Bulldogs are convinced they are going to sign Newton, a beloved former pupil of Newton. They are allegedly solicited for cash by someone claiming to represent Newton. Newton subsequently signs with Auburn. He then makes statements on more than one occasion insinuating that he wanted to sign with MSU, but his father Cecil chose Auburn.

Suspicion doesn't equate to guilt -- as many have forgotten over the last few days -- but in the cut-throat world of SEC recruiting, you can bet MSU coaches were stewing about losing Newton.

I'm of the opinion that Meyer's alleged involvement, while interesting, is only tangential to the story. I can see why some fans might not be pleased, but reporters are glad that someone was willing to let this high-impact story see the light.

So some reporter said it happened...Meyer and Bond both denied Meyer saying that....I don't see a lot of proof here...

I don't think he did anything wrong. I still consider him part of gator nation and i don't want anything bad to happen to him. There is currently no investigation... just a ton of finger pointing and its all ridiculous. This is an outside attempt of someone to unseat the SEC from their reign of football supremecy.

Seriously, I'm laughing at all of this.  Tomorrow somebody is going to say that Cam stole lunch money from a kid in the 3rd grade.

And now...

Heisman voters stick by Cam Newton

Kenny Rogers just changed his story again.geaux321

Truth, here it is:

Audio: Rogers Claims Cam's Dad Asked For Cash

I'm just kind of curious when the laptop stealing story got changed around. Because I remember when it first happened the story was that Cam stole someone's laptop, and logged into the laptop with his UF ID, which is how they discovered Cam had the stolen laptop in the first place. Cops show up at his door and Cam chucks the laptop out of a second story window.

And I had always figured that this incident was the reason Cam transferred from UF to a Community College.

But I just saw the story being mentioned on ESPN.com but they said Cam only purchased a stolen laptop.

Orlando_Magic

I believe he bought the laptop from someone and it had been stolen...but initially the report was that he stole it. No one ever proved that he took it, just that he had it.

I'm over this whole saga... where is the proof that Newton's dad asked for this money? We just keep getting stories from two MSU boosters...and those stories change everyday!!!! It would be a travesty if Cam doesn't get the Heisman because of all this garbage that no one can confirm.
