Cam Newton declares for NFL draft
Associated Press
AUBURN, Ala. -- Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton will skip his senior season and enter the NFL draft.
Auburn released a statement Thursday night announcing the quarterback's decision. Newton led the Tigers to their first national title since 1957 and a 14-0 season with a 22-19 victory over Oregon on Monday night in his lone season.
Newton says Auburn is somewhere he can "always call home." Newton is projected as a first-rounder after winning several national player of the year awards.
The dual-threat quarterback was both dynamic and controversial. He played under a cloud the last two months of the season after reports surfaced that his father, Cecil, shopped his services during Mississippi State's recruitment of his son.
Newton rushed for 1,473 yards and 20 touchdowns while passing for 2,854 yards and 30 TDs.

So, now that he isn't there, I guess the NCAA can breath a sigh of relieve. No nasty and embarrassing investigations that might harm a BSC school.

One things for sure, the NCAA ain't doing any more investigating into this matter. They have an image to uphold. However, if a news organization stumbles upon some incriminating information, things could heat up again.

Most folks on this board will be surprised only if the NCAA does anything about Auburn. On the other hand, SMU basketball, having picked up a transfer from Texas, had better be ready.

Anyone else notice the perfectly placed Gatorade towel draped across Cams shoulders every time the camera was on him, especially after the game. At least now he can cash that check as well
