MORNING BREW
Cam Newton,a lesson to coaches
If you've seen even a split second of sports coverage the last few weeks, you know about Auburn's Cam Newton. He's the ultra-athletic quarterback of the Auburn Tiger offense, leading his team to a No. 2 ranking in the latest BCS standings. He's also a front runner for the Heisman Trophy.
He also likes cash. Allegedly.
According to an ESPN com report. Mississippi State booster Mike Bell received a text from Newton's father, Cecil, during his son's recruitment last year. Cecil allegedly wanted $180,000 for his son to play for Mississippi State.
When coach Dan Mullen supposedly refused to pay Newton the recruitment was complete, and Cam eventually signed with Auburn. Whether Mississippi State refused to pay or Auburn simply had a bigger check waiting is still unclear. It's SEC football, anything is possible.
What is clear, is that Auburn is on track to play for the national title and Cam Newton is almost certainly headed to New York City as a Heisman Trophy finalist.
Great timing, isn't it? Mississippi State has supposedly known about these allegations since last November, but has stayed quiet until Auburn is a title contender 12 months later.
According to ESPN.com, "Bell said the reason he's providing details of the alleged scheme is because he wants to make sure everybody knows Mississippi State didn't break NCAA rules."
BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpentar@kansan.com
Is Mississippi State now just bringing it up, to clear their name even though the NCAA supposedly had no clue of wrong-doings and there was no investigation at the time? Mississippi State didn't bring up these allegations to clear its name.
They play in the SEC, where football rules everything and the coaches, for the most part, don't like each other. If they allegedly got outbid for a star recruit, they won't like it. And if said recruit is on his way to hoisting the trophy, any dirt they have will be thrown. And it has so far, even with the Florida Gators, Newton's former school. Reports surfaced last month that Newton cheated on multiple tests at Florida before transferring to a junior college in January 2009. Cheating on an algebra test two years ago isn't a huge deal, but thanks for playing Gators. The Bulldogs from Mississippi State are here to help you out.
Apparently for Auburn $180,000 wasn't too much for a Heisman Trophy finalist and potential BCS National Championship (allegedly). That's if the NCAA doesn't find
any more evidence before the BCS title game on January 11. And with the news less than a month old, this investigation is far from complete.
It's extremely naive to think that every year certain big-time football recruits aren't getting a little cash under the table. But most coaches and programs are smart about it. They cover their tracks, especially in the SEC. And when you don't cover the paper trail, your conference rivals will be more than glad to call up the NCAA.
My parting advice to Auburn coach Gene Chizik, who's very new to the SEC: If you're going to pay your quarterback more than a lot of your coaches, don't get caught.
