Throughout this whole Cam Newton “Pay for Play” plan, one thing has been on many people’s minds, where are the facts? Seriously, where are the cold hard facts in this story that can distinctly prove that Cam and Cecil Newton asked for money to play at Mississippi State? Where are these recorded phone calls that Bill Bell claims to have recorded between himself and Kenny Rogers? Where are these text messages that Bell claims to have saved on his phone regarding Cecil Newton asking for money to play at MSU. But apparently the phone has “water” damage and he is trying to repair his phone. In other words, he’s trying to buy time so that he can come up with some other b.s. excuse in hopes of destroying Cam Newton’s legacy. I’m not quite sure why this is getting so much publicity when there are zero concrete facts that can actually be proven either by a recorded phone conversation or by text message. All it is, is several people saying different things about the story in hopes of destroying a young man’s career and image. MSU alumni and anyone else involved should just cut their losses at this point and stop investigation. This will all eventually turn on MSU and they will take all the heat for it.

From what I’ve seen the NCAA takes its time. Over the weekend some TV types were wondering why the Bruce Pearl deal was seemingly hammered out in hours, while the Newton story just drags on. Lots of differences in the case. My guess is the NCAA is collecting info, but we won’t hear about it any time soon. Everyone who is talking in public is just trying to get attention.
And, hey, No Raiders. Cool.
