The news surrounding the rumored recruitment of Auburn QB Cam Newton -- isn't getting any better for all those involved. The latest has a former Mississippi State player, named Kenny Rogers, who told ESPN that Cam Newton's father (Cecil Newton) told him it's going to take "between $100,000 and $180,000 to deliver Cam." And, that he was present when Cecil Newton asked Mississippi coaches for money to sign his son. (see link below)
It makes you wonder where Mr. Newton came up with the idea that Mississippi State would be willing to pay and pay big to get his son to commit to his school? Was it because he was paid by the Florida Gators, three years earlier -- to commit to their program -- the same football team where current Mississippi State Head Coach, Dan Mullen, was Cam Newton's Offensive Coordinator and QB Coach at the time?
Do you think ol' Urban Meyer might be squirming a little bit -- especially now that the FBI is involved in the investigation?
I'm guessing "Old Man Newton" is taking calls from "intermediaries representing" a few SEC schools right now, asking him -- "what's it going to take to keep you quiet...?"
Will this be the case that blows the doors off the illegal recruiting practices and NCAA violations -- that have been long rumored to be rampant in the SEC?
