Speaking of the NCAA being an absolute joke and passing out violations as they see fit...


I think the truth is that if the NCAA really investigated every program in the country in depth for a year. I mean if they were really committed to it, there would be so many violations and suspensions it would pretty much stop college football as we know it now.

But then they would have no way to pay for all of their salaries.

LSU ruled him ineligible. Miles and Co. appealed to the NCAA to save face for Ridley and with some wishful thinking. The NCCA rarely overturn schools' own rulings. It wil lbe a miracle of they do here.


And AU didnt rule Cam ineligible?

It looks pretty bad to ask that someone be excused for cheating. Does not put LSU in a good light.

and you are a douchebag.

now that we've established that, provide a link the PROVES, not alledges buy PROVES the NCAA KNOWS, Cam Newton cheated.

Please note, I'm not saying he didn't, I don't know, there's lots of allegations, often where's there's smoke there's fire, but if the KNEW soemthing beyond a reasonalbe doubt and did nothing, then he'd have a point, but just because some of you think the allegations are prood doesn't make it so,

Just talked to Josh D and he said Ridley "should" be cleared by January 4th but tifwiw.

Said the NCAA is acting fricked up towered the entire situation.

Because Miles has such a clean track record at LSU and because they reported and disciplined Ridley themselves, the NCAA might reinstate Ridley.

Don't forget the NCAA has also requested additional information about LSU's self reported violations.

You sure about that? The were fully cleared in a statement yesterday, were they not?

Trust LSUTANGERINE to be present in any thread containing something bad, or potentially bad regarding LSU.

I agree.
Tangerine should worry about his own crooked, cheating, loser team.

1) LSU did it, not the NCAA.
2) The NCAA ruled that Newton is not responsible for his father's actions involving schools other than Auburn. Duh. Please provide evidence that Auburn paid for Cam Newton's services.

I have little doubt that Cam Newton's dad is a shady character, and often the apple doesn't fall far from the tree either. They are probably more crooked than a jigsaw puzzle. But that doesn't prove Auburn is.

All the NCAA is saying is that Ignorance is Bliss.....and Eligibility these days.

If you just say you didn't know the rules or didn't know someone was cheating on your behalf you've got it made. Period.

I like Ridley, but if he's potentially involved with some form of cheating incident, I'm all for sitting him or onyone else involved.

I'd rather LSU lose and be somewhat clean than become one of those programs with tons of dirty laundry.

And if any one of those Ohio State guys declares for the draft, there will be zero punishment for that particular player.
