investigating the Tigers' football program and the recruitment of Cam Newton

Chizik asked NCAA vice president for enforcement Julie Roe Lach several
questions, including why the NCAA had not announced that the Newton
investigation was finished, during a presentation at the Southeastern
Conference meetings in Destin, Fla., last month.
"You'll know when we're finished," Roe Lach told Chizik, according to
several coaches who were at the meeting, the Times reported. "And we're not
finished."
Vanderbilt basketball coach Kevin Stallings, LSU basketball coach Trent
Johnson, Mississippi basketball coach Andy Kennedy and Arkansas basketball
coach Mike Anderson all confirmed the exchange to the newspaper.
Kennedy told the Times he believed Chizik "was trying to get some finality
to when the process was over, and it was an interesting debate, to say the
least. I think the format of the meeting was set up to be generally about
the lay of the land going forward. When he got into specific questions
regarding their situation, I think we were all sitting back saying, 'I didn'
t know that we were going here.'"
Newton won the Heisman Trophy and led Auburn to a perfect season and
national championship last season, his only one with the Tigers.
Late in the season, the NCAA ruled that Newton's father, Cecil, had tried to
get Mississippi State to pay $180,000 for his son to play for the Bulldogs.
Cam Newton ended up choosing Auburn instead of Mississippi State when he
was being recruited out of junior college.
The NCAA also ruled there was no evidence Cam Newton or Auburn knew about
Cecil Newton's pay-for-play scheme, so neither was punished. |
