NCAA Says Cam Newton is Eligible for SEC Title Game

Well the Cam Newton controversy may be coming to an end with the NCAA getting involved. The NCAA says that Cam Newton is eligible to play in the SEC Title game this weekend. That isn't the big news, though. The big news is that the NCAA says that he's eligible despite his father breaking the rules. The NCAA has said that Cecil Newton, the father, tried to shop his son to another school. A former Mississippi State football player named Kenny Rogers (guitar nor baseball not included) said Cecil asked for $180,000 for his son's talent.

Was Cameron Newton involved or was the Father the only one asking for money? It seems clear at this point that Cecil was asking for money unless Rogers is lying. As for Cam, I like to give a person a shadow of a doubt for the most part. I know I haven't exactly been this way about Kobe or Big Ben but those charges are different. So far, there is no evidence linking Cam directly to this scandal. However, if you think about, it's hard to believe that Cam wasn't involved with his own father someway. I don't want say he's guilty yet and I agree with the NCAA's decision. However, more evidence better not surface if Cam wants any shot at the Heisman.

P.S. Is Cam Newton the Heisman Favorite? If he is, it's by a slim margin.
