how long before Auburn gets post season ban, BCS title & Heisman taken away?

how long?

[The Gemini Method]

Never...simply because the NCAA cannot afford another Reggie Bush incident. Though as questionable as Auburn's situation was...speculation will always be hovering over the program and what may gave gone on. There will be nothing on this unless someone/something

I'd say 3 years. They'll let Cam leave for the NFL and give them a couple years to relish this season. But it won't take as long as USC because I'm not sure if Auburn will stay at the top of the SEC. Such a tough conference and losing Cam will make it tough for them to stay in the national spotlight. So I think it will be easier for the NCAA to go after Auburn.

Despite contrary reports, Cecil Newton was at BCS title game (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/Despite-contrary-reports-Cecil-Newton-was-at-BC?urn=ncaaf-306263)

Cecil Newton didn't see his son Cam quarterback Auburn (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/teams/aar/) to an SEC title or win the Heisman Trophy (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/Cecil-Newton-spoils-the-only-Heisman-mystery-by?urn=ncaaf-294012). And he wasn't supposed to see him play in Monday night's BCS Championship Game either. It was all part of a punishment restricting the elder Newton to "limited access" to Auburn's football program after it was discovered that he shopped his son to Mississippi State (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/teams/mmq/) for $180,000 during his recruiting process.
Yet, after Cam led Auburn to a thrilling 22-19 victory (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/Nick-Fairley-brings-a-whole-new-crunch-to-Auburn?urn=ncaaf-306013) over the second-ranked Oregon Ducks, father and son were captured on camera (http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/photo-cecil-newton-attended-bcs-title-game-29407) in a joyous embrace in the stands. The photo (http://www2.oanow.com/sports/2011/jan/11/cam-and-cecil-im-111048/), captured by Vasha Hunt of the Opelika-Auburn News, was snapped moments after Newton was seen looking for his father (http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/slideshow/photo//110111/ids_photos_sp/r3381381290.jpg/) in the crowd at University of Phoenix Stadium.
Earlier in the day, Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs said Cecil Newton wouldn't be attending the national championship game. It was a "mutually agreed upon (http://www.cbs42.com/content/localnews/story/Cam-Newtons-dad-at-title-game/Duh6l2M0k0-Vazhy5rm4HQ.cspx)" decision, Jacobs said.
Evidently no one told that to Cecil, who managed to stay unseen during the game, sitting away from his family and out of the view of ESPN cameras. He wasn't on Auburn's ticket list and the university later denied giving him admission (http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/01/was_cecil_newton_at_bcs_title.html) to the game.
Though we shouldn't begrudge Cecil the right to see his son play in the biggest game of his life, the incident is a slap in the face to Auburn. The school was misled about the father's plans and then had to do damage control hours after the greatest win in school history.
Cecil Newton put Auburn through enough agita over the past two months. The least he could have done was spared them more on Monday night.

It's inevitable that Auburn will be punished but it won't be for a few years.

Wrong. They are 4th. But USC should always be in the top 10, if they were not there is a problem.

Hogs sitting at number 7 currently. Expecting the last 3 commits this week to finish that up.

I don't ever remember the Hogs being in the top 10 in football AND basketball at the same time. Kinda cool.
