Curiously, I don't recall seeing a thread like this when Cam Newtons scandel was happening or when he wass ineleigible for the SEC Championship game, which once again was a determination made by the NCAA to allow him to play .... of course Money was involved again.
Cam not playing would have cost a ton of money.
I will say Cam should have been suspended and Auburn should forfeit the games. However, the issue is NCAA has no rules that involve the parents doing this. Since they can not produce Cam doing anything to cause ineligible status they can't doing anything to him.
Now as for OSU, once the players sold their rings, jersey or received discounted tattoos they become ineligible by NCAA guidelines. But lucky for OSU the Sugar Bowl president lobbied for them to be active. I will say this ago, the infractions took place in 2009 and any game they played in should be forfeited just as Georgia was threatened with over AJ Green.
