He's a little more capable of taking hits than the smurf up north.

NCAA says Auburn had no major violations, ends investigation in signing of quarterback Cam Newton

AUBURN, Alabama -- The NCAA did not find any major rules violations in Auburn's signing of quarterback Cam Newton and has concluded its investigation.

The NCAA enforcement staff also concluded its investigation into charges by four former players on HBO who accused the school of providing extra benefits. Again, it found no wrongdoing.

The NCAA issued a statement Wednesday saying it interviewed more than 50 people to see if Auburn provided Newton or his family improper benefits. The NCAA said it could not find any reason to keep the investigation open because its findings did not meet a "burden of proof" that Auburn did anything wrong in signing the quarterback who led Auburn to the national title last season.

The NCAA said the investigation has to meet a higher standard "than rampant public speculation online and in the media.

The committee said it would review any additional information "if further investigation is warranted."

An additional 30 people were interviewed in the HBO investigation.

"We appreciate the NCAA and thank them for their professionalism and thoroughness during this exhaustive investigation. We are pleased to put this matter behind us," says Athletics Director Jay Jacobs.

Here's the NCAA statement:

After conducting more than 80 interviews, the NCAA has concluded its investigation into Auburn University. The NCAA enforcement staff is committed to a fair and thorough investigative process. As such, any allegations of major rules violations must meet a burden of proof, which is a higher standard than rampant public speculation online and in the media. The allegations must be based on credible and persuasive information and includes a good-faith belief that the Committee on Infractions could make a finding. As with any case, should the enforcement staff become aware of additional credible information, it will review the information to determine whether further investigation is warranted.

It is becoming more and more clear the NCAA only acts when forced to by public outcry. Otherwise it's all see no evil hear no evil speak no evil.

I really hope eventually the big teams split away from the NCAA and do their own accreditation.

The system is broken beyond measure. This situation just illustrates it.

^^^This

A cynical person (do we have any of those around here??) would say it's time to cut loose and cheat all over the fucking place but makes sure that no one talks to the NCAA.

I wouldn't personally advocate that, but as Auburn has gotten away with it and you KNOW Cryami won't get hit anywhere near as hard as they should, what's the incentive to self-report anymore again?

This, unfortunately, comes as no surprise to me. They swept this thing under the rug so damn fast the curtains are still billowing from the airflow.

I bet next we hear that Oregon is squeaky clean because Willie was know by William to Kelly and that right there exonerates any perceived wrong doing.

Time to blow up the NCAA. What a fucking farce of an institution.
