What are the facts surrounding the Cam Newton situation?
General Background: Cam Newton was originally a quarterback at University of Florida. He was there for his first two seasons but transfered to Blinn College (junior college) when Tim Tebow decided to return for his senior year in 2009. (There was also an off-field incident that involved Newton in possession of a stolen laptop, but that was dealt with pre-trial and he was welcomed back to the team — it had no overt impact on his decision to leave, though maybe it played into general discomfort staying there.) Newton led Blinn to the juco National Championship in 2009, making him a highly sought-after recruit in 2010. Auburn and Mississippi State (MSU) were the major players, and Newton eventually selected Auburn. The Scandal (DISCLAIMER: ALLEGED, ALLEGED, ALLEGED): John Bond, a former MSU player, initially came forward with information that another former MSU player (later named as Kenny Rogers) approached him with information that Newton was asking for up to $180,000 to attend school
