    Not so fast...

    Not saying AU will or won't be cleared in the future but this was just an eligibility ruling with the information available. Auburn had to rule him ineligible given the information about Cecil and had to apply for reinstatement. Just like the Textbook scandal at Bama they were ruled eligible again and then the investigation continued and the outcome was released months later.

    Just based on the information available at this time.

    Here are some tweets:

    So basically at this point the NCAA doesn't have enough to stop him and AU from playing and winning the SECCG and maybe the MNC, but in the future they could still lose it all.

    Correct

    The NCAA had to make an immediate decision based on the information available at this time. They are still in the early stages of investigation and could play out for a while.

    Moscona is saying that Cam Newton was ruled Ineligible yesterday. And he won an appeal in 24 hours, and now he is eligible. What the F*#&?????

    Auburn Football: Cam Newton Ruled (In)Eligible by NCAA | Bleacher Report


    You gotta be kidding me.......... Something really f'n crooked is going on here.

    AJ Green gets a 4 game suspension for selling his own property, Dez Bryant is suspended for the duration of a season for lying about talking to Deon Sanders, but Cam Newton can shop around for a school, and win the Heisman?


    So a lesson to all the fathers of athletic kids out there, shop your kids around, just don't tell them, you get paid, they get to play.

    Yeah I haven't heard ANYTHING about that part.

    This is a little paragraph sandwiched in that ESPN article that needs a little more splainin'....

    "(from ESPN)
    The NCAA released its finding in a statement Wednesday. The college sports governing body had concluded on Monday that a violation of Newton's amateur status had occurred. Auburn declared Newton ineligible on Tuesday and requested his eligibility be reinstated."

    So....
    Monday - Cam ruled INeligible

    Tuesday - Auburn requests reinstatement

    Wednesday - Cam is reinstated

    ?????????????????????????

    Ed mother fu*$in' Zachary!!!! Anybody ever appeal anything? If you have, has it ever taken 24 hours? Something is going on here that is really f'd up. The NCAA is trying to cover something up, so that they don't get another black eye. And I can assure you they are hoping South Carolina wins, or Oregon wins if South Carolina doesn't.
