Scam Newton

A major issue known to nearly anyone who keeps up with football is the eligibility of the star Auburn quarterback, Cam Newton. His father was paid by Auburn to have him attend college and play football there, which is obviously illegal, but he has just been declared eligible. Apparently, since he was not aware of his father's actions, that makes what he did acceptable? Hmmmmm..I just can't figure out how that works. The way that the NCAA has responded to this situation just means that there will be more incidents like this in the future, because as long as the athlete doesn't know about these actions their guardians take, it is perfectly fine. I don't have an opinion on whether Cam Newton knew about what his father was doing or not, and I don't really care, either way I think he should be ineligible.
