Well actually it should be called the Cecil Newton rule...
The NCAA Legislative Council on Wednesday formally adopted legislation that designates any parent an “agent” who tries to sell the services of their child to an institution, which basically just closes a loophole that should exsist. Cecil tried to get over 180,000 from Miss State for Cam Newton to play there. They were never really able to find out more, so Newton didn't get in trouble, which is fine by me, but this is a rule that had to be made, because at that point his dad is not just being a parent he is being an agent.
