Again the Reggie Bush episode was totally different. Reggie was not paid to attend USC. He cavorted (his stepdad involved) with a couple of guys that paid him money to be a future agent for him after Bush was at USC. Reggie had no intention of hiring them and just kept the money and the house in San diego.
Newton apparently was asking to be paid to go to that school. Take into account the cheating on tests and the larceny involving a computer and it appears Cam and his father need to reevaluate the whole pastor/student value system they are purported to be in
The entire NCAA system is rooted down into a mess...and it’s like some game for the NFL to smile and pick up players for their league. It’s no longer pure. So I don’t see an issue in paying these NCAA players a set amount each month of $1500 (across the board to each player on the top fifty teams) and just accept it.
As for Cam? He is now 5-stars in the eyes of the NFL. I can think of a dozen teams begging for him. The season might be finished...if so...just let him go and let him hire out to the NFL right now today.
It’s good to know that things are so serene and calm here in the homeland that the FBI can spend time and manpower investigating heinous crimes like this.
