My cynicism and awareness of recent events within the college sportsindustry tells me that if more evidence comes to light within the next few days and weeks which further calls into question the integrity of the Newton family or Auburn University athletics, then Mr. Newton will not win the Heisman nor will Auburn even reach the BCS National Championship game.
Lushin and the Pacers basically lifted the idea from University of Central Florida professor and sportsindustry consultant Bill Sutton, whose Sports Sales Combine has held similar events since 2007 in Atlanta, New York, Phoenix and Orlando.
