Here you are, hope this clears it up for you. This is from the NCAA site. The link to the whole article is listed previously in the thread, but this is the answer to why Auburn declared him ineligible, and even though you didn't ask it also explains why he is eligible.

The NCAA concluded on Monday that a violation of amateurism rules occurred, therefore Auburn University declared the student-athlete ineligible yesterday for violations of NCAA amateurism rules.

When a school discovers an NCAA rules violation has occurred, it must declare the student-athlete ineligible and may request the student-athlete?s eligibility be reinstated. Reinstatement decisions are made by the NCAA national office staff and can include conditions such as withholding from competition and repayment of extra benefits. Newton was reinstated without any conditions.

From a student-athlete reinstatement perspective, Auburn University met its obligation under NCAA bylaw 14.11.1. Under this threshold, the student-athlete has not participated while ineligible.?

okay, I'm sure Auburn wasn't aware of this before Monday.

My take, FWIW:shrug:

If Cam did not know anything about his father asking for money from MSU, I have some prime real estate in No Where alabama to sell you?

Auburn was aware of these facts? Sure they were and thought as long as we are not involved then no harm to us?

Did Auburn pay for play for Cam's services? No Way.... or maybe not directly:mj07:

There are six men whom lurk as prominant possibilities of interest in this investigation. None of these guys will be caught, believe that. They are like teflon........nothing is going to stick. IRS, FBI and state officials have nothing on these guys. So.... with that said. Ncaa has nothing to predicate a wrong doing on either Cam or Auburn. Is this right or wrong?

At this point in the season, with so much on the line for the SEC, Heisman, National Championship, I think the Ncaa has no other resolve than the ruling at hand. It stinks guys, I know.

Is everything good in this world? Hell No...

I am an Auburn Man, and I am also a realist. Which is very convoluted to be both.

I simply say, Screw it.......War Damn Eagle and let this situation play out, and hopefully one day ......the real truth will come out. :toast:

No, but the NCAA cominG out with a statement in auburns defense tells me a lot.

For one thing, it tells us that the NCAA does not want TCU in the title game, and I can't say that I blame them.

The NCAA fucked up imo b/c now every dirty uncle, aau coach and family friend will be used in the same manner that Cecil was this time. You and I both know that Cam knew what his pops was up to, and I could not care any less. Cam is the one who got caught, but there are more like him out there. Those guys now have an additional layer of protection.

My predictions sure to go wrong.....
