Makes one wonder why it has taken Florida this long to finally come out with the information on Cam Newton. It also makes one wonder what Florida had to do to get Newton to come to Florida.

Foxsports.com is reporting that Auburn quarterback Cameron Newton had three instances of academic cheating while attending Florida and faced potential expulsion from the university.

Newton was arrested for the theft of a laptop from a Florida student’s dorm room in November 2008. The website reported late Monday night that Newton again violated the university’s honor code by putting his name on another student’s paper and turning it in.

Newton then turned in a second paper to the instructor, but it was later found to have been purchased off the Internet.

His father, Cecil Newton Sr., declined comment to Foxsports.com.

“I wasn’t there,” the elder Newton said. “I cannot confirm or deny. At a time like this, I’m taking a defensive posture.”

The NCAA is reviewing the recruitment of Newton.

This information from FLORIDA, kind of reminds of the Eric Bledsoe situation. Seems that Florida has no problem throwing around transcipts to throw dirt on their competition.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. The young man and his team are kicking butt and now all these stories are being sent out to the press.
