Bamba Cleared by NCAA

Mods, why didn't you just merge the threads instead of locking mine?
Anyway... as I said there, they apparently bought the argument of a long-standing relationship and Love technically doesn't qualify as an "agent".
Ironically, his brother may have done him a favor by going public because the NCAA is easier to deal with on these eligibility things in advance than after games are already played with nothing said. Nothing against Mo (seems to be a bright kid), but it's hard to see much difference betwen this and Chris Webber's situation (other than when it was revealed).
The NCAA is an absolute joke. Investigate Carolina for a decade clear Manziel and Bamba in less then a week.
meh, they cleared Rose then after the season declared him ineligible so all 10 of Texas's 2017-2018 wins could still be vacated.
Don't forget how quickly they cleared Cam Newton at Auburn. It was conveniently just in time for him to play against Bama, IIRC.
Cam hadn't taken any benefits of any kind. That's why he was immediately cleared to play, and later exonerated by the NCAA... and it was before the Georgia game.
Ok, true. But It's more about how the NCAA moved fast as hell when it benefits them. Having Auburn and Cam staying undefeated was huge for ratings.
Ha don't poke the bear on this unless you're ready for a fight. And definitely don't call him Scam Newton.
I never called him that. I am a Panthers fan and he's my QB. My comments aren't really about Newton anyway. The point I'm trying to make is that the NCAA will move heaven and earth to clear up potential issues when it benefits them.
Well, that's a fun narrative, and I understand the misperception, but in that case it was totally false.
The Cam garbage was a nothing-burger from day-one, at least on the Auburn end (as opposed to Miss State who tried to pay his dad) --- and at the time you're referring to it was being ginned up by the incessant whining in the media by Richt at UGA, Saban at bama and Meyer at Florida, so Chizik and the Auburn AD just called their BS and declared Cam ineligible the week of the UGA game, which of course they knew would force the NCAA to make a declaration... and since there was nothing there the NCAA declared him eligible within 24 hours. Game, set, match.
Now, as someone mentioned ITT, the NCAA can still investigate and if they find anything amiss can still assess penalties post facto, but when they did their subsequent exhaustive investigation (they ran a damned 6-month proctoscope thru Auburn's program) they found absolutely zip, zilch, nada.
I realize many won't understand the implications of this, but trust me, if the NCAA which is run by that scuzz Tom Emmert (Nick Saban's former boss, benefactor and alibi) could've found even a damned hangnail on Auburn they would've hammered them. Instead, at the end of it all the NCAA issued an unprecedented exoneration of Auburn, labelling the accusations as little more that "internet rumor and innuendo".
I've said this before on here: No UNC fan should be perpetuating false assumptions about the Cam Newton episode, especially given the way UNC Men's Basketball is being misrepresented and slandered in the media today over the current NCAA junk.
Oh trust me... I've torn some new AU asses over that.
Now that you bring that up, I have noticed that SEC fans in particular relish the opportunity to slam Carolina Basketball --- unfounded though it may be --- largely because of the years of squeaky-clean reputation and yes, we UNC fans can be holier-than-thou about the program.
The larger point though --- which shouldn't be underestimated --- is that this resentment is not limited to fans. Especially when you have a league that has to cover for the blatant cheating likes of Nick Saban and Calipari, Sankey's role on the Infractions Committee is a scandal in and of itself.
