    You must be talking about Alabama. LOL


    Everyone knows the money is there. I was going to say that I am surprised when I here some of them can actually talk but some of the non-athletes that graduate are highly questionable as well.

    If the father of an Ohio State player got paid, they'd have suspended him. Auburn/SEC - no.

    Cecil Newton wasn't paid by Mississippi St, as a matter of fact MS St reported him.

    Cam was looking for his third college to attend to play football in the NFL down the road. He didn't belong in college and didn't care. I'll bet he never took a test at Auburn. All you have to do is listen to many of the graduates and you know how they got through. You will find them at a local car dealership or someplace that they can capitalize on their local status for a few years because they won't "interview well".

    That makes my point. A degree in nothingness. The idea that he earned it instead of was provided with it would not be credible.

    Newton went back to Auburn during his off season in the NFL and earned his degree. Whether or not you believe a degree in sociology is meaningless is irrelevant.

    Does this come from your being a Panthers fan or did you go to Auburn? You don't really think a Sociology degree is good for anything but getting a diploma do you?

    It's the Auburn Tigers and no I didn't attend there.

    A Sociology degree prepare one for a host of careers.
