I heard it last night on the news and during the UF/USC telecast. I just Googled it and that was the first article I found. I'm not a big TMZ fan either. ;)

From ESPN....
Bill Bell, a Mississippi State booster and former player at the school, told the NCAA he received a text message from a man claiming to represent Cam Newton's father that outlined a payment plan designed to bring the quarterback to Mississippi State, according to ESPN.com. Bell said he also shared a series of voice mail messages from former teammate Kenny Rogers with the NCAA last week. Bell said Cecil Newton never specifically asked him for money, but that Newton was present during three-way calls in which Rogers discussed a pay-for-play scheme. Bell told the NCAA that a text from Rogers included a request for $80,000 the day after Cam Newton signed his letter-of-intent with Mississippi State, $50,000 after 30 days and another $50,000 30 days later. Cecil Newton could not be reached for comment on this report.
Here's a link to the full report: ESPN NCAAF Bell: Texts set Cam Newton payments
No where in it does it state that any of Cam's family directly asked for anything. All it does state is that 3 MSU ALUMNI discussed a payment plan to get Cam to MSU. If that's all they have, they don't have anything..end of story. Seems to me some former MSU players wanted Cam more than Cam wanted MSU..and are more than a little pi$$ed that didn't happen. Awfully convenient that the phone with the alleged texts was destoyed by water damage..they ain't got jack. Just some jokers hoping to pull a Phil Fulmer..
Let's just let Cam be Cam and the money will take care of itself, or in this case one's family. I don't know who or what to believe but always remember the guy who got Reggie Bush in trouble was a convicted felon, and the people at MSU seem like they are sincere or sincerely ****ed that they didn't get Cam Newton but always remember boys and girls the longer the story the less believable it is.
Auburn looks like they are getting ready to get in some serious trouble. Newtons are dirty. I tried to give them the benifit of the doubt but it is starting to become pretty clear this is one big mess. FBI involvment now. Auburn's history. Same people still there that where there during the Pat Dye and Eric Ramsey days.
Read this. I know it is a message board. But it makes alot of sense. I am not saying it is all true but if only part is Auburn could be in big, big, trouble..... It is a long read....

Dang, that took some time.
I've said it once and I'll say it again Auburn is dirty and has been for a while. Let's just wait and see but I wonder if Dan Mullen and MSU will be treated like Phil Fulmer and UT in Alabama. All Phil done was turn in a cheater and it looks like MSU turned in a cheater too. The plot thickens.
From this it would make sense that the FBI could have actually notified the NCAA before Miss. St. They had Mcgregor wiretaped for the last year. That info would have been withheld till his indictment came down. Lowder the other one , who is the guy most people see as the most powerfull man at Auburn, is also under investigation with Bank he was CEO at, for misuse of TARP money, embezzelment, Money laundering. A whole host of things.
It would all make sense if they had info in these recordings. Which isn't to far of a reach.
Somebody clearly paid Cecil. If not how did the church get fixed? Explain it... No one has or no one can. I believe it is no one wants to.
let's not go there. these are two completely different scenarios, nothing alike at all.Quote:

Something big is going down, but im still not sure I believe everything coming out of Starkville.
But if Auburn is in deep, I promise Bobby Lowder is right in the thick of things.
its also worth mentioning that some info being reported is wrong.
Bond did not meet with Rogers like was initially reported. On the radio, Bond said that he did not directly talk with Rogers and that there were at least two people between them in the chain of information. So its impossible for Rogers to have solicited money directly from Bond.
