Most UGA fans want him to play.
As well they should. Why wouldn't they?

And this is completely irrelevant, but I thought you guys might get a kick out of it if you haven't seen it before. Saw it for the first time in a long time tonight.

From what I hear from people on TI that I trust know their stuff, between 2 and 6 pm tomorrow will be quite interesting op:
And by quite interesting, I mean another bomb will drop.
Just passing it along, but considering the sources, tomorrow will bring some more big news.
A few things to note.
First, why do you think it is that the connected TI people know more than the connected AU people with respect to this case, especially since it has nothing to do with Bama?
Second, Auburn folks know more of the same is forthcoming today. It will not change anything about the situation for Auburn.
Third, the Newtons met w the NCAA yesterday, and it has been rumored that the NCAA says Newton is good to go. Interesting that Auburn has been silent regarding the accusations to date. Today may be the day that Auburn tells it's side of the story (or a portion of it).
Should be another busy day.
One is a major media member in Alabama, he knows his stuff. The other has called every step of the way, no clue what his connection is but Chris Low of ESPN is my guess.
The NCAA doesn't have the authority to bench a player in a case like this. The teams themselves do it. They could've said "you can play him, buuuuuuuut......"
And Auburn can not publicly speak about any current/pending NCAA case publicly. Since this falls into that category, Auburn will be quiet.
We shall see, just passing along what I heard.
Just got a few interesting texts from my main direction of info on this Cam/MSU thing. Pretty much the NCAA has gotten enough info in the last 4 days on this to seal the deal on pay for play. 5 people on the MSU side all have the exact same story. The details might be different but its all the same story. Took the FBI just being mentioned to make them all spill it.
If not for John Bond...MSU would have probably made the deal and CN would have gone to MSU. Said no doubt this offer was given to more than MSU and now the NCAA will turn its attention to where Cam landed. The SEC denied getting all the info but he says it was given to them and passed along to Auburn as well.
He said it would be hard for Auburn to play Cam with this info it basically means from the time the offer was made Cam is ineligible. The NCAA has relayed info to Auburn and the ball is in their court. The NCAA adjusted its rules definition at the end of 2009...even the intent to do pay for play deems you ineligible.
Here are the various theories of what happened. One of them is accurate.
1. Cecil offered to sell Cam to MSU (i.e., MSU's story). If MSU wasn't interested, why did they continue to recruit him?
2. Cecil offered to sell Cam to MSU. Before anything materialized, Cecil had change of heart and decided that because of the offer, no way Cam could end up at MSU, so he decided AU was the place to go.
3. Rogers misrepresented to MSU coaches that he represented Cam in an effort to extort money from MSU. Newtons knew nothing of it.
4. MSU, working through Rogers, offered to buy Cam. AU found out about it and turned MSU in to NCAA.
It's probably 2 or 3. As much as the REC would like to believe it, Auburn did not buy Newton.
1) Cam is ineligible if it happened
2) Cam is ineligible if it happened
3) Maybe a Newton could say something. Really. Cecil and his lawyer need to say something if that is the case.
4) :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:
