Luginbill report?

  • So, I just saw this on another Auburn board I frequently comment on (TheAuburner):

    "Tom Luginbill of ESPN has said that the NCAA has quoted to him that Cam Newton is not guilty of a violation, and that he is eligible. The NCAA is not investigating what happened in relation to Cam. They are investigating the presence of agents in the Mississippi State program."

    Anyone hear of this? I can't find anything about it on the web, yet. Thought it might be a radio segment. Of course, again, we don't have direct quotes from named sources, so I'm not getting my hopes up just yet. But wow did that make me feel good to read that.

    Though with all ESPN has been reporting to date, I still can't bring myself to trust them again.

  • I really really hope that is the case. If so, methinks MSU will be getting their just desserts.

  • I'm still taking it with a grain of salt right now, since I don't have a clue where it came from. I was hoping maybe some people on here knew about it as well. I'm assuming (which I know is a bad thing to do) that it was on radio or TV since it's not on their website yet. As I don't have access to a radio or live TV where I am at the moment, I was hoping someone on here could confirm/deny that the report is out there. Whether it's valid will have to wait for much more reliable people or an actual statement from parties involved.

    Basically right now I'm just trying to find out of this report actually exists.

    You're more likely to see it as a headline on cbs sports instead of espn or fox. It's not nearly as sensational a story as a pay for play scheme, 3 way phone calls, back door deals, etc.

  • I don't know if this is what they are talking about, but Luginbil talked about the subject last night after the Alabama game when ESPNU was doing their little "Sports Center" show.

    They chatted about the subject, showed the interview with Newton's lawyer, and then had Schlabach on the phone to discuss it.

    Luginbil was real clear in pointing out that, not only has nothing been PROVEN against Auburn, they have yet to even be ACCUSED of anything. He went on to say that Cam Newton has also not been accused of anything. He said this is much more about Mississippi State and Kenny Rogers than it is about Auburn.

    I have to say that it made me feel good to hear him saying that so boldly. Even Schlabach said similar things, noting that there are NO allegations against Auburn or even specifically against Cam.

    It was nice to hear both of those guys say those things clearly.

    I would be surprised if Luginbil made a claim that someone at the NCAA had told him anything. He's not really that kind of guy at ESPN. He's an analyst, and the recruiting director. I've never known him to claim any "sources" or anything, he's not a reporter.

    If that segment last night is what the post was referencing, I don't recall him claiming anything other than what he knows and believes.

  • It certainly seems like Kenny Rogers has been trying to do everything in his power to Not be implicated in this matter.
