Cam Newton & Fam violate basically the only penalty handed down

How outrageous.

The Newton family trying to make some money off of Cam's talent.

Only the NCAA, the coach, the television networks, the sponsors, the college athletic departments, the apparel companies should be allowed to share in the billions of dollars these primarily poor, primarily black young college athletes.

$180,000 to play college football?

A free education isn't enough is it... Not that he learned anything.

Leave Fam out of this. He's clean, man.

Education? He goes to Auburn.

The decision to not allow Cecil to attend the game was between Cecil and Auburn. The NCAA and BCS gave no formal penalty barring his attendance. The point was to focus media attention on the game, and seeing as we didn't find out he was there until after the game ended the intention worked even if Cecil broke the agreement. For all we know Auburn knew he would attend and just made a story to cover themselves.

The dad not going to the game was a political decision. Auburn thinks if they show the team they are being really tough with the dad, the NCAA will not be so harsh with the penalties that are coming.

Auburn and their lawyers are simply building up a defense.

How do you know what he learned? He is black so you can conclude he learned nothing?

Nobody paid him $180,000 -- he went to college, spending a huge part of his time practicing, preparing for, and playing football.

How much money do you think is generated by college football? In a free market, he would be paid millions

As one of the ubertrolls of letsrun your scores are generally less than 2/10.

You know nothing about economics.

Prove he learned something in a school class taken at Auburn.

Prove he did not take any money, directly or indirectly.

Prove he would make millions in a free market while still in college.

That Newton is black has no bearing on his willingness to learn. That Newton is lazy has bearing on his unwillingness to learn.

Prove he did not take any money, directly or indirectly. I made no claim as to his taking money.

Prove he would make millions in a free market while still in college. See how much he makes in the NFL. Big time college football is also quite profitable. Do the math.

That Newton is lazy has bearing on his unwillingness to learn.

Newton is lazy. How do you arrive at this conclusion?

Now a question for you. Does being so stupid physically hurt? It must. And my God you sure are stupid.

Where are you reading that? According to this article it was "The NCAA decided Cam Newton would be allowed to play, but his father's access to Auburn athletics would be limited. "

.

As to this, I don't care if you don't like it. Those are the rules for the system for which they signed up to play. The rules they signed a contract for saying they would abide. Nobody is forcing them to play football in order to go to college and take a scholarship worth sometimes $30k+/year. If they don't want to play and want to go to college then they can just study hard and earn an academic scholarship (bahhahaha).

A: Yes, Newton does have the problems you describe.

Your Score: 1/10

Rich white guys make the rules and if these poor black kids don't like it, tough.

Please remove the UncleB from your name. Dear God but I feel sorry for you. So much stupidity in one person

Please? That word has no meaning to you. Provide our trademark for UncleB.

Your insults have no impact on me. Your score continues to be 1/10.

No thoughts, ideas, logic, or facts have any impact on you. Believe me, I know

FYI: Please followed by an insult make the please meaningless. That is something you should realize.

Hm, I'm sure you'd love to be paid only in college credits if you made a few million bucks for your company.

So what? What he did was against the rules? I have no problem with people giving him money to play the game, but once he took it or even just solicited (of course he never knew about his dad *wink wink*) he should never have played another NCAA game.
