The NCAA explained its position on Newton this way:

"In the Cam Newton reinstatement case, there was not sufficient evidence available to establish he had any knowledge of his father's actions and there was no indication he actually received any impermissible benefit,'' the NCAA said. "If a student-athlete does not receive tangible benefits, that is a different situation from a student-athlete or family member who receives cash, housing or other benefits or knowingly competes and is compensated as a professional athlete."

Don't you think this comment on Thursday was meant specifically toward Kanter or any other athlete who goes abroad and plays for money? I think this comment on Thursday is a clear response to the impending Kanter appeal.

I think this is in direct comment to the people that were screaming that Cam Newton and Reggie Bush were one and the same situation, personally. it could also be a swipe at the Kanter appeal, who knows! Until the NCAA starts showing some consistency in dealing with all of these issues, they will be as unpredictable as the weather, IMHO!
