A couple more facts to add to your list:
1) Cecil Jr., Cam's older brother, made the Jacksonville Jags roster in September, which was the same time that Cecil let the Newnan Commissioners know that he had the money to do the work on the church.
2) While the church is no longer condemned, it also doesn't meet all the local codes, and is still not currently being used.

I too don't understand why MSU fans don't see that to this point the only facts that ARE known implicate shadey "representatives" for MSU.  I also enjoy their misplaced hope for Auburn to get all these violations and probation, etc.  Some even calling for the death penalty.  Please....  I would remind MSU fans that they did have a coach by the name of Jackie Sheryl that, how shall I put it, was less than a stand up guy when it came to recruiting. 

Hey MSUdawg...

First the facts!!!  THERE ARE NO FACTS!!!  There is simply a bunch of reports of heresay.  That's all there is at this point!!!

Until an investigation by an authortative organization is performed and completed and the findings are released, then and only then are there facts.  And with that, probably not ALL of the FACTS.

If half of what has been reported turns out to be factual, then MSU was in violation of NCAA rules with regard to reporting potential recruiting violations.  How that doesn't have the MSU faithful concerned is beyond me.

I have yet to hear of reports that anyone connectted to Auburn has offered or paid the Newton's anything.  Yes, if Cecil sold his kid out and did so in such a careless manner as is being talked about, but certainly not proven as of yet, then shame on him for violating NCAA rules.  I don't believe that Cecil's "reproted" actions are enough to implicate Auburn of any violations at this time.  All the talk is about MSU and Cam's recruitment there, not Auburn.  Just because Cam ended up at Auburn doesn't mean an Auburn booster paid for Cam to play at Auburn.  No, I'm not naive either.  I'm just reasonable and objective.

Here is my take on what ultimately might have went down with this situation.  Someone made sizeable "charitable" contributions to a qualified 501c3 "charitable" organization that allowed the Newton's to achieve what they needed and that was to renovate their church building so that it wasn't condemned by the local municipality.  In subsequent years, a promise has been made to continue to make said "charitable" contributions.  This would seem to allow all parties involved, whomever they may be, to skirt around and tax laws and NCAA rules?

I have NO facts, I'm just hypothesizing on what I think might have happened.  More importantly though, NOONE HAS ANY FACTS AT THIS POINT IN TIME!!!  There is only a bunch or he said, she said out there so let's see what all the investigations yield to be factual.

stop exhausting your pea brains. the feds were on this before john bond was asked to RE-HASH this.
this pay for play at au was never cleaned up. bowden left because of it.
auburn was the only one willing to pay. maybe auburn wont go down prior to the bowl season. but, everyone
knows they are going down. it will only be for a few years.
serious violation #8 will only get you 5 years or so of probation. maybe you could introduce some academics
during the downtime. msu was only one of many sources reporting this scandal.

Tommy:
You'd obviously be surprised to know that no, not a lot of nervous folks on the plains.  Maybe both MSU and Auburn faithful have lulled themselves into a state of comfort, but I don't know how else to state the definition of a  "university representative" and get you to understand that it's a violation for any of the three that claim to have "worked" with Cecil to do so.  Besides you've now got to deal with whatever new version Rogers comes out with now that he's being investigated by the Sec of State in Miss in the event he violated the agent laws there.  As bias as the media is in AL towards the tide, the talk of the racetrack owner being connected was squashed within 48 hours.  This is a mess no doubt, but short of a Cecil confession it seems like everything circles back to one Mr. Rogers who can't decide which story to go with.  One more thought to leave you with...how did Rogers know to call Bell, and why did they have mulitple conversations on the issue?

I would still like to see Mark Richt as a candidate.  he has major college experience and has Miami roots.  He is also a quality guy.

Who cares about Scientology?  The world headquarters for that group is in downeown Clearwater, FLorida, which is in the Tampa-St/Petersburg metro area, on Florifa's Gulf Coast.  I Jnow because I was there to watch the Scientologists take the area over. literally buying up as much real estate as possible.  Gruden's or Mullen's non=membership in that curch. if really relevant, would at least be more so if the job beibg discusssed here was that of the coaching job at South Florida. 

Mullen isn't that great of a an option. Remember Jeff Tedford. He was once a bright shining star who coached for Oregon State and was hired by Cal because the guy knew how to develop QBs. Trent Dilfer, Akili Smith, David Carr, Joey Harrington, and Aaron Rodgers were great in college, but not so great in the NFL. Thus far only Dilfer has played in a Super Bowl. Jeff Tedford should be fired by Cal much like it did when it fired Ben Braun. Braun was a coach from Eastern Michigan and he did improve the Bears in his first few years as their coach, but then he hit a brick wall...very much like what is happening to Tedford. Cal has easier entrance requirements and yet it has been beaten handedly by Jim Harbaugh's Stanford teams since he started coaching the Cardinal.

This is perfect! Mullen's going to pull a Pete Carroll & jump ship just before the NCAA drops the hammer on Miss State for severe and admitted recruiting violations!  Classy.
