Filed under: Auburn, Florida, Mississippi State, Recruiting
Cam Newton's dream Heisman season has turned into a nightmare lately. Reports that a man attempted to secure payment in order to guarantee Newton's signature on a letter of intent as a hot junior college recruit have taken the NCAA by storm. As if an NCAA investigation and muddled Heisman hopes aren't bad enough, a new report states that the FBI has taken an interest in the situation.According to the report, the FBI has requested a meeting with John Bond, the former Mississippi State player who first alleged that Kenny Rogers, another former MSU player, contacted him to tell him $180,000 would get Newton to commit to MSU. According to Bond, two people were involved in the solicitation, though the identity of the other has not been revealed.
Bond's attorney reportedly confirmed the FBI request for a meeting, claiming the FBI agent told him, "We are interested in whether young men are being shopped to colleges."
