However, I am dumbfounded at that the amount of information/gossip/rumor out there about this case.

RE: [gatortalk] AUBURN IS BURNING
Nope, they don't need to proove Cam had knowledge. Remember, the NCAA is not a court of law, they don't need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt or even to the preponderence of evidence. They can make any decision the infractions committee feels just based on the information in front of them. And while they don't have subpeona powers, if they ask a member school for information or access to an individual associated with the school, the school must provide or it is deemed an admission of guilt (see the F$U case). If the rule were simply that if Cam didn't have knowledge, then it is okay, every school in the country would be paying parents. The problem at hand is the NCAA does not move fast in this type of investigation. They will want to see the whole picture to determine if it is simply an athlete eligibility issue or if some of these other allegations are also true. Until they rule, it is up to the school to determine eligibility and Auburn has determined they will play Cam. Auburn is playing a risky game of poker here, if Cam is ultimately ruled ineligible, their whole season goes down the crapper, or they may determine he is eligible and all is well. In the meantime, they play for the SECC and BCSC and possibly bring home a title. Two years down the road, the NCAA may rule and the wins get stripped, but they have had two years of recruiting success based on this year. Auburn is all in, do or die.

FBI aside, from what I understand, the NCAA forbids even the player's FAMILY from "negotiations". If it is determined that his dad DID offer to "steer" his son to a particular school for a payoff, Cam will be ruled ineligible. Period.

Re: [gatortalk] AUBURN IS BURNING
I'm afraid Stephen is correct. It isn't if, it's how bad is it? Stephen, you're also correct that it's going to be very big! This isn't going to be good for college football. Nor, is it going to be good for SECfootball. I can already hear the big ten commish gloating. I do agree with Cees, I'm glad it's Auburn, not UF! BTW, Stephen, how's the BBT?

Re: [gatortalk] AUBURN IS BURNING
Depends on who you ask. Been listening to several "experts" on various radio shows. Some say yes some say maybe not. Their argument was if anything did happen and Cam had no knowledge then Cam may be fine. Of course, the counter argument to that is how can Cam not know. Which goes back to my comment that we just do not know enough to say one way or the other. If there are txt msgs that happened.. Those can be recovered. If money was exchanged.. That can be tracked. Fine.. Where is that proof? Thats all im tryin to say. Woody (via iPhone) On Nov 18, 2010, at 3:02 PM, "Jay Cicone" wrote: > I don’t think it matters what Cam did.
