WTF?

@DanWetzel: Miss St booster BIll Bell tells ESPN that Cecil Newton sought money for Cam signature. But booster/parent contact a problem for MSU

In the Albert Means scandal, I understand the NCAA had proof that Ole Miss offered money. Ole Miss go nothing for that. No slap on the wrist or anything. The NCAA has shown that it wants everybody's cooperation and generally only smacks the biggest fish.

I think at worst there is a secondary violation there which will result in nothing, especially since we offered no money.

Additionally, perhaps we get a pass if the Newtons called us and not visa versa.

calling up Bell I can't see it being an issue.

Plus, even if it was Bell calling Newton, that is not a big deal at all. If we were still activly recruiting him, we might be asked to stop - at the very worse. At this point, I'm not concerned with that at all.

Is he trying to say our booster contacted Cecil? That may be the only way possible for it to be a violation. All indications are that Cecil was the hand reaching out touching hands, touching Rogers, touching Bell.

It's pretty clear that the Newtons were the ones who iniated that contact.

...I wouldn't worry about MSU right now.


North Carolina football is about to get a new ******* ripped by the NCAA because 5 people took money totaling $5,648.


Meanwhile, Auburn is under the microscope for "buying" one player for around 180 grand. Plus UNC doesn't have the freaking FBI digging into their ****. Auburn does.


I don't think your story here is MSU & improper contact with a booster...unless you are moving your reading demographic to the Auburn fanbase exclusively.

Touching me......Touch-ing youuuuu....bum, bum, bum......Ceeecil New-Ton.....bump bump bump....you done gone and sold your son.....You'll be doing time...bum, bum, bum...when the FBI gets done...

Ok that was corny but it was done in 20 seconds after reading your post and immediately thinking of Sweet Caroline. Forgive me..I'm exhausted.

Who qualifies as a booster? If a random ******* fan tells a kid's mom, "I think Johnny ought to go to X," is that technically prohibited? Even if that is, that could never be enforced. I don't see much to worry about here.

 

[RonnyAtmosphere]

..ever donated money to MSU in any form or fashion, then the NCAA defines you as a booster.

MSU contacting the SEC office. So, in a sense we self-reported the incident. That fact goes a long way in mitigating any sanctions the NCAA could place upon State. I have a hard time believing the NCAA would do anything to State when it can be proven Newton contacted Bell, not the other way around.

A greedy parent tries to shake down a booster and it's the boosters fault?
