I kind of get the feeling this wasn't his idea. I wonder if Oregon is cutting him loose to protect themselves in some way.
Lache Seastrunk, the running back connected to the probe into Oregon's use of Texas-based prep scouting service, has been granted his unconditional release by the No. 3 Ducks.
Questions were first raised about Seastrunk's status when he did not report for practice Saturday morning. Oregon coach Chip Kelly confirmed his release in the afternoon.
There was no immediate word as to why Seastrunk wanted to leave Oregon. A prep star at Temple High School in Texas, Seastrunk redshirted as a freshman last season.
It certainly seems that way. It will be interesting what comes of this. As I said in his profile thread, I bet he ends up at Auburn or LSU.
Auburn quit recruiting him cold turkey midway through his senior year. Everyone thought it was because we had already gotten Dyer but maybe there was already suspicious stuff going on.

Your avatar is great.
I am actually a fairly big soccer supporter, but those kinds of flops sort of ruin the game for me. I noticed that there is a lot less of that in the women's game apparently, after watching the World Cup. Sack up, gentlemen!
Anyway, there is no way any team in the state of Alabama would ever break NCAA rules. That's like accusing the Amish of taxing the power grid.
Oh snap. Wonder if tOSU has seen this yet. Best I recall the Bammer fans were hammering them pretty hard when all their stuff was coming out. Payback, she be a bitch.

LSU self-imposes recruiting, scholarship restrictions on football program
Baton Rouge - LSU has informed the NCAA and SEC of its decision to self-impose restrictions on its football program, as a result of an internal investigation that revealed violations of NCAA rules as announced earlier this year.
"LSU took quick and thorough action when we discovered these violations and we are hopeful the NCAA will ultimately agree with our assessment of this case," said LSU Chancellor Michael Martin. "The reports to the NCAA and SEC and our decision to self-impose penalties are the culmination of many months of arduous work by our compliance office and I am confident their thorough examination of this case has produced appropriate sanctions for the football program."
LSU has reported the violations to the NCAA and SEC in two reports. The first report was delivered to the NCAA and SEC in March 2010, and focused on recruiting activities involving one assistant coach and one student-athlete. Before that report was submitted, the two involved individuals both left the University, and the student-athlete never participated in a game for the Tiger football team.
In addition, during the course of the investigation, LSU discovered other violations pertaining to improper telephone calls between non-coach administrative football staff members at LSU and prospective student-athletes, their parents or their high school coaches. Those violations are detailed in a report submitted to the NCAA and SEC in October 2010.
"Our compliance office discovered additional violations during the course of this investigation and took immediate corrective measures to ensure they would not occur again, which is what a good compliance office is supposed to do," said Joe Alleva, Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics. "I am disappointed that these violations took place, but I am proud of the way that LSU reacted to the situation. We now stand ready to assist the NCAA in the completion of this process."
The self-imposed restrictions include a reduction in official visits for the 2010-11 academic year, a reduction of initial scholarship recipients by two for the 2011-12 incoming class, a reduction of the overall scholarship counters by two for the 2011-12 academic year and a reduction of the total number of National Letter of Intent/SEC scholarship papers that can be offered to prospective student-athletes by two for the February 2011 signing date.
LSU is awaiting the NCAA enforcement staff's completion of its review of the reports and anticipates receiving a notice of allegations from the NCAA, outlining the violations the NCAA believes have occurred.
LSU notified the NCAA of the self-imposed sanctions pertaining to the former coach and former student-athlete in September 2010, and then completed the report of the case with the submission of a report on the impermissible phone calls in late October.
Upon the initial discovery of potential rules violations in September 2009, the involved student-athlete was not permitted to participate in varsity athletic contests and the assistant coach was restricted from participating in recruiting activities for LSU. The assistant coach resigned from the university in December 2009 and the student-athlete left the university prior to the 2010 spring semester.
The investigation centered around the recruitment and transfer of the student-athlete from a junior college to LSU in the summer of 2009 and the assistant coach's role in the recruitment and transfer process. It involved potential violations associated with impermissible telephone calls to the student-athlete during the recruitment process, impermissible transportation before and after the student-athlete's arrival at LSU and impermissible housing and reduced-rent at an apartment complex in Baton Rouge in the three months prior to the student-athlete's enrollment at LSU.
The additional impermissible phone calls were discovered to have been placed by non-coach administrative football staff members at LSU. NCAA rules specify that only coaches may place and receive recruiting calls.
The internal investigation determined that the involved staff members did not realize the calls were considered by NCAA legislation to constitute recruiting coordination functions rather than routine clerical tasks and thus constituted impermissible recruiting telephone calls. The calls were mostly responding to inquiries related to campus visit logistical matters, film receipt, tickets for high school coaches, coaching clinics and other such routine matters. Nonetheless, after consultation with the SEC and NCAA, LSU concluded that the calls were impermissible under NCAA rules.
Corrective measures taken by LSU pertaining to the impermissible phone calls include the development of new job descriptions for non-coaching staff members to reflect adherence to NCAA rules; monthly educational compliance meetings; new procedures for logging and monitoring of telephone calls by all staff members and revised communications to prospective student-athletes to answer questions and direct inquiries to the proper individuals on the LSU staff.
LSU will work with the SEC and NCAA toward a resolution of this matter, and will continue its efforts to monitor and ensure compliance with NCAA and SEC rules and regulations.

We came close when we played Tennessee in 2003 and 2004. It was in a 15 month span but that is as close as Auburn has ever come.
-
I was at the Cotton bowl when we played y'all a couple years back and I had no bad experience with any of your fans. All top notch IMO.
We all have our idiots.

Crazy father? Check.
Ability to run fast? Check.
Previous problems following the rules? Check.
Likes to screw girls (and maybe get on a webcam too)? Check.
Sounds like we've got our Cam Newton replacement.
You're about to take this conversation down a road we don't need to go down. Go sober up.
Settle down Francis.
It was a joke and one primarily aimed at my own qb.
Sorry, but with the wild speculation flying around here about this kid, even that kind of stuff can get taken seriously by people and spread around.
Trust me I understand that as well based on the things that have been said in the SE the last 6 weeks.

Short version
Cam & Auburn = clean
Cam's Father & agents = guilty dirtbags
According to NCAA rules this still = ineligible.
Not true.
precedent was set when Alabama actually paid 200,00 for Albert Means without his knowledge yet Means was still allowed to play at a different university.

the article has been removed but chase goodbread tweeted this yesterday.
UA fires staffer who played "Take the $ and Run" and "Son of a Preacher Man" over PA system at Bryant-Dennythought it was funny that someone woudl actualy play take the money and run with this scandel going on.
Of course they would. That Alabama is nothing but class right there I tell ya.
NOT.
-
I applaud TCU for stepping up. Granted it is a small step but a step none the less.
-
If the stuff comes out too early then they might have to let BSU or TCU into the title game. Stuff will come out about 1 day after the title game and Auburn will be retroactively stripped of everything this season. If Auburn loses to Alabama then expect the stuff to come out in the next week after that happens.
Not that I am in to conspiracy theories or anything...
actually it's being whispered on sec boards that the arkansas lsu game this weekend is for the west division....
keep those whispers going.

Still waiting for something to surface.
No tapes.
No records.
Give it time.......
We shall see.

99% of the media and most boards don't have a hair on their ass if formal apologies do not come out after this. I will be the first to tell you that if my school did something wrong then they need to be hammered. However, in this case there is nothing but hearsay and allegations being tossed around by people who are not in the know.

Auburn gets robbed going undefeated and a 2 loss LSU gets picked over a handful of 1 loss teams who all win their bowl games.
As far as Auburn goes, it was completely their fault for having such a shotty SOS. Of three undefeated teams, it's logical to take the two that played a harder schedule. Correct?
Well just to make everything correct the fly in the ointment for the 2004 Auburn team was they only got credit for beating TN once that year rather than once during the season and once in the SEC championship. The BCS has since fixed that loophole.
As far as Auburn's SOS that year they played and beat more ranked schools than USC and OK did combined so that does not hold water.
Auburn hit a ceiling due to the #1 and #2 spots being occupied the entire year with neither of them losing.

Imagine the Huskers in a playoff format this season, oh how wonderful that would be. How will we ever see TCU, Boise, Utah, or any 3rd team tie have a chance they deserve. Politics and greed destroy any chance for hope.
It's infuriating Blaze. I was on the fence for awhile, with the standard rebuttal of "I don't want college football turning into the NFL." Time has eroded all conviction on that stance. Give us a playoff, now!
When I see some consistency in schedules I will be all for a playoff as well. Until then all the teams that play the cupcakes can continue to be left out IMO.
Boise State, #1 in total defense.
Against....the #120, #79, #116, #99, and #119 ranked offenses.
Boise State, #4 in total offense.
Against...the #110, #119, #118, #107, and #113 defenses.

Oregon is is fast but UCLA made them look even faster.

Gotta say I was pretty well impressed. Ya'll are fast! Although the line between how good ya'll are and how bad KSU is got pretty blurry pretty quickly.

Devil to Les Miles
pretty good.

Damn snap infraction.
Fair enough

What? Too much?
Maybe you like this one better.
