Cam Newton appears to be up in his elbows in doo doo. Being 6’6 that is a lot of crap.
The thing is Mississippi State was told first that if they coughed up the jack, then they could have the services of Cam Newton. Mississippi State balked and told the SEC, and I have a couple of thoughts:
-If the SEC had known about this for a while, then why let Newton play? That makes no sense, and I would like someone to explain it to me.
-The good heart in me wants to say that Mississippi State did the right thing. The cynic in me wonders that if Mississippi State wasn’t Mississippi State and had the $200,000 the pony up, would they? The MSU atheletic department doesn’t have the resources that other SEC schools have…
-It was very generous of the Newtons to offer Mississippi State the “Mullen” discount of $20 K.
-Auburn fans: if things are too good to be true, then they probably are.
-I am not saying this is related to Newton, but Auburn was playing with fire with some of their recruiting. I don’t follow recruiting as much as Kensingtondawg, but I do know Auburn was being very gaudy with some of their stretch Hummers. Sometimes bland and boring is ok…being flashy and showing off only gets you noticed.
It reminds me of the movie Goodfellas-Jimmy Conway (De Niro) tells folks to not buy expensive things after a big robbery. What do these foolish mobsters do? They buy Cadillacs and fur coats. Then they wind up dead in a dumpster.
Auburn was very flashy with some of their recruiting, and it seems like that was just putting a bullseye on their back.
It will be interesting to see how this all turns out, but when the NCAA starts snooping around and asking for bank records, things can’t turn out good.
