he copied a friends paper at lunch while drunk. He actually copied his friends name on the paper as well. The teacher received two assignments from the same student with identical answers and different handwriting. It didn't take sherlock holmes to figure out who cheated since there was only one student who didn't turn in the assignment.

This is not urban legend...it really happened and I was a witness to this glorious event.
Either the SEC spokesman is flat-out wrong and the the calls are indeed contained in one/both MSU reports ? highly unlikely; Bloom would?ve certainly received confirmation from those who would know that what he was releasing to the media was factual and accurate ? or Schad was fed a whole heaping helping of BS from sources claiming to be connected to the university. There?s not a lot of gray area involved in this latest tangent this story has token off on.
In other words, the veracity of the most damning report on the Newton situation that?s come to light to date is very much in question. The question now is, what will ESPN?s response be to the disconnect between the SEC?s version of January?s events and the version told by sources to one of their writers?
Our guess? Crickets chirping. Or spinning. One of the two.
Kenny Rogers, the former Mississippi State player who ESPN.com reported allegedly sought money to sign Cam Newton to a national letter of intent with Mississippi State, said Thursday that Newton's father, Cecil, put a price tag on his son.
Rogers, in an interview with ESPN 103.3 in Dallas, was asked if Cecil Newton ever told him how much money it would take to get his son to play for Mississippi State. "Yes he did," Rogers said. Asked how much, he said: "Anywhere between $100,000 and $180,000."
Later in the interview, Rogers said he and Cecil Newton first talked after Cam Newton left Florida following the 2008 season. In the course of their conversations, he said Cecil Newton told him "it's not gonna be free this time."
Rogers said he only was involved with Cecil Newton about Mississippi State.
Rogers said on Sunday, Nov. 28, 2009, he and Cecil Newton followed each other out of Starkville, Miss., after the Ole Miss-Mississippi State game. He said Newton asked him: "What do you think is going to happen? You think it's going to go through? "
He said he was referred to a Mississippi State booster named Bill Bell. Rogers said he left Bell a message telling him he was with Mr. Newton, who wanted to know if the deal was going to happen.
Bell has not commented publicly on the allegation.

Wolverineubet?Not everybody's the perfect person in the world. I mean everyone kills people, murders people, steals from you, steals from me, puts their name on another student's paper and then plagiarizes from the interweb, whatever... :p
