Auburn QB Cam Newton was caught cheating at Florida
Talk about failed second chances. Well, I guess he gets lots of extra chances since he’s Mr. Heisman.Newton decided to leave Florida following a November 2008 arrest after he bought a stolen computer. The charges were dropped last December when he completed a pretrial intervention program for first-time offenders.
According to FoxSports.com, Newton again violated the university’s honor code by putting his name on another student’s paper and turning it in. Newton was caught after the instructor asked the real author of the paper why he had not turned in his work.
Newton turned in a second paper to the instructor, but that paper was later found to have been purchased off the Internet, according to FoxSports.com. He was to appear for a hearing in front of Florida’s Student Conduct Committee during the spring semester of 2009 but instead transferred to Blinn College.
