So, if Richardson didn't know....no problema, si?
Albert Means didn't know either.
I think that Newton's saving grace for his elgibility was the lack of proof that money actually exchanged hands and that $cam attended a different school than the one with the actual admitted PFP discussions.
Means was ruled to be innocent in the deal by the NCAA so he maintained his eligibility, but SEC rules forced him to leave the SEC, so he went back home to play for Memphis.
I'm quite certain that we are going to be good after all of this, but it will just be another black-eye for us and a "we hate the SECheat" talking point for the Big 10ers and oversigning protesters of the CFB world.
