Is there anyone else...

That is completely ashamed that Cam Newton will be representing the SEC on a national stage under all of this controversy?

I ask this because in all honesty if there were no controversy associated with him I would be completely content with Auburn and their run at a national title, purely to show the continued dominance of this league. However I believe the SEC should hold itself to a higher standard than everyone else and this blatant smoke and mirrors act by the NCAA is just shameful. Apparently parents can shop their kids around to schools with no fear of reprisal so long as they do it behind their kid's back, ridiculous. Nothing about this sits right with me and I am saying this with no bias, I pulled for Alabama, LSU and Florida when they played for the title because ultimately what is good for them is good for the SEC but this whole situation just stinks of backroom dealing and favoritism. Just my two cents.

Oh he'll win the Heisman and I'd like to clarify, I don't think he doesn't deserve it, it's just that the whole situation stinks and I'd hate to see what he's done on the field and what Auburn is trying to accomplish be tainted by this scandal. My biggest knock on this is it makes the SEC look bad, however that's only my opinion and it is likely to be as flawed as anyone else. I still think there will be a higher than expected number of voters who will vote for another candidate because of this but even if the tally's are closer than expected he will still win.
