I look at it as the latter but.....

Nothing can be accomplished until the new CBA is in place so he might not see the money until season starts or close to it when he won't be able to go on vacation because he's having to work twice as hard studying the play book because he has less time then players usually get to study and practice. So although he has good intentions he might want to check the idea until the money flow is actually coming in.

Cam Newton is like Sarah Palin in that you have folks that want to totally demonize them for the sake of selling copy. The thing is you have a ton of folks that don't like Cam because of the Auburn scandal and just eat up anything negative about him or just jump on anything that can be perceived as negative. That being said, I can see this guy being another Bush in a few years in having to give up his Heisman, etc. The NCAA needs to get out of sports altogether and let the different pro leagues just set up farm systems for football and basketball. Shoot, some of the more prominent FIFA squads in Europe have their own school system/academies with travel squads of every age group until age 18, where they become reservists for the big boys. The whole Terrelle Pryor mess and his and his teammates selling football awards for tattoos tells me how much they truly value their time in college or respect the program. No need to taint the college game for a bunch of thugs. Colleges and universites should be centers for learning and nothing more.
