Cam Newton to be suspended by NCAA (waiting on confirmation)

[Gorm]

Good grief...after reading all this, and the stuff on the smoking gun...Cam Netwon is nothing but a thug.

 

[Cyclonestate78]

Did Mississippi St notify the NCAA right after he asked for money or after he committed to Auburn? I doubt they turned it in when they thought they still had a shot at him.

Pretty sure that it has been stated that Miss State notified the NCAA last January about this stuff which would have been prior to him signing with Auburn. I am not sure how this story finally broke but I think the NCAA has been looking into it for awhile now.

 

[rebecacy]

If the Netwon's got paid, the only thing Chizik likely could have done is refuse Cam's commitment. In the SEC I imagine it would be hard to put together a class if you refused commitments due to rumors about deals. In that sense, the only Chizik is guilty of is being a head coach of an SEC fanbase.

And of ******* off the ISU fan base by leaving Ames for a 2x plus salary increase at a perennial nationally contending school that also happens to be his dream job. If given the opportunity......we'd nearly all do the exact same thing.

Gene Chizik calling Auburn his dream job is hilarious. It holds about as much weight as some loser who couldn't get laid in a whorehouse calling the first chick to jump in the sack with him his dream girl. Yes.... even if it was this woman....

 

[rebecacy]

Is that really how it went down?

Besides the normal feelers about players coming with him (and I do not know how strong that was), the way Chizik left was about as good as it could be for ISU. It did not drag on, and it unified the team.

But no one good could ever bring themselves to leave ISU. They would have to be dragged out of Ames kicking and screaming. It's easy for me to see how witches were burned alive in Salem.

And lying to said fanbase when he stated that he was "firmly entrenched" in Ames when he clearly wasn't. I don't think anyone can blame the guy for taking the job but the way he did it made him look like a real d-bag.

Correction: It didn't make him look like a d-bag. It proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was the genuine article... a full blooded, 100% pure bred d-bag.

Fixed for accuracy...

I remember hearing he told Pollard that he was NOT going to take the job. Then Pollard learned the hard way by hearing from a 3rd party that he took the Auburn job. I really want to learn what his definition of "firmly entrenched" is.

Somebody else rep this guy because I can't. He definitely earned it.

 

[hawkeyeh8r]

haha this story just made my day. w/o newton auburn is just another middle of the SEC team. this would all but eliminate them from the title game giving either TCU or boise st a shot at the title game

The Gene Chizik Dictionary:

"Firmly entrenched" Standing behind your quarterback that boosters from your school paid to play for you, skipped town to avoid being expelled from another university for cheating academically, was offering his services on the football field for up to $200,000, was arrested for stealing a fellow students labtop computer, among many more things that will eventually come out about his star thug, and doing this for the sole purpose of winning football games so you actually look like you know how to coach when everyone on planet earth knows that you have absolutely no freaking clue what you are doing.

When Chizik said that he was "firmly entrenched in Ames", he meant that he dug a trench at his house in Ames and surrounded it with sandbags and razor-wire to sheild himself from fans and media when the truth came out.

I would actually argue your last part about everyone in the world not knowing he can coach. He was off the map here, so nobody saw his amazing ability to single-handidly **** games down his leg. People see that he came out of nowhere and "fixed" a team that was "on a downslide" and is winning games and in the hunt for a title his second year there. Everyone blames his crappy record here on the athletes that he didn't have, but then give HIM credit for his wins in Auburn, instead of giving credit to the talent he has there (other than Newton).

So does this elevate LSU back into the conversation if it goes down?

This is my question. What are the BCS implications here? Is LSU now undefeated?

Wow, that's an awesome point. They won't be, which is stupid. Auburn losses the win but LSU keeps the loss. I think it should be as if the game wasn't played if the cheating team wins.

LSU would possibly get into the SEC title game if this were to happen. That would open the door for them to go to the BCS title game as a 1 loss (or no loss) SEC champion.

Chiziks success this year is a result of the existing talent on the roster, previously established recruiting base, and offensive genius Gus Malzhan running the offense with a QB whose recruitment is now in question.

You bring up an excellent point. If you listen to Auburn fans they always mock ISU fans about being bitter that Chiz**** bolted. They often say that he couldn't win at ISU because of our total lack of talent but are quick to claim Paul Rhoads success is only due to the talent Chizik brought in. Seems a bit hypocritical doesn't it? I bet their tune will change when these allegations are proven and Chiz**** and the Auburn program go down in flames.
