Tapes Claim Cam Newton was in the Room While Being Shopped to Mississippi State.

Scott Moore was back on the radio today, after breaking news yesterday that audio tapes of Cecil Newton shopping Cam Newton to Mississippi State do exist.  Moore says he has listened to the tapes himself.  Our report on his comments yesterday is  here. Today, Moore was again elaborating on what was on the Cam Newton tapes. Lets run down some of the incredible things he says are on the tapes:


Moore says that on some of the tapes it's evident that Cam was in the room while Cecil was shopping him.  This blows the lid off of the Auburn argument that Cam didn't know he was being shopped.

The tapes would likely point some blame on not only Auburn, but Tennessee and Mississippi State as well.  This may explain some of the NCAA and SEC's actions. The SEC knew that this could seriously damage the conference.  If multiple schools from the SEC are bidding on players, everything the SEC has done in the past 5 years is brought into question.  It also will add fuel to the fire of those that claim that paying players happens at every university.

Moore says that Dan Mullen and Mississippi State told Cam that they would not pay him, and if he went somewhere else they would turn him in.  The interesting thing about this is that it would still put Mississippi State on the hot seat.  Mississippi State left the scholarship offer on the table for Cam after knowing he was asking for money to play.

John Bond has been asked to appear on the HBO Real Sports special.   Bond being one of the Mississippi State boosters in possession of some of the tapes.  Moore did not say if Bond was going to appear, he did add that HBO has not offered Bond any money for an appearance.

When asked why the tapes haven't been released to the public, Moore says that Bond and Bell know that the tapes are valuable.  That makes us think its only a matter of time before the right group gets the money together to buy the tapes. It would not surprise us to see TMZ be the first to release these tapes instead of ESPN.  The irony of a bidding war for tapes of a bidding war is not lost on us.

We learn from this interview are that the tapes contain evidence that Cam knew about his fathers actions, which of course would make him a part of the pay for play scheme.  Another major revelation is the SEC and NCAA's lack of action.  If they heard some of these tapes before ruling Cam eligible to play, it's hard to believe this won't put both organizations in serious jeopardy.  Universities and conferences are not going to stand by and be a part of the NCAA if they are covering for the SEC.  Further more, if multiple SEC schools are involved its hard to think of a way the SEC can get out of this without serious damage to the conference.
