ESPN released a report yesterday stating that Auburn quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Cam Newton in being investgated by the NCAA and others.

Apparently the NCAA, the SEC Conference and Auburn has been aware of this information since September. This stems from when Newton was being recruited out of junior college. A man representing Newton was looking for a six-figure sum to lure Newton to a university.

Former Mississippi State player John Bond turned this information over after the man representing Newton called him asking for $180,000. Bond said he was told that other universities had already offered 200,000.

The man representing Newton is former college player Kenny Rogers. Rogers operates a service out of Chicago that runs camps and matches high school players with colleges.

Everyone involved in this case is now being investigated.
