AUBURN CLEARED: The NCAA said it found no major violations committed by Auburn regarding Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Cam Newton or other pay-for-play allegations and has concluded multiple investigations of the football program.

The NCAA released a statement saying it has closed its 13-month investigation into Auburn’s recruitment of Newton, whose father shopped his services to another school for up to $180,000. The investigation hovered over the program during the Tigers’ national championship run. 

FLORIDA: Football coach Will Muschamp said linebacker Dee Finley is transferring “to pursue other opportunities.”

Finley was charged with resisting arrest without violence after a traffic stop on campus last month.

The 77-year-old Schnellenberger, the coach since the program’s first season in 2001, plans to retire at the end of this year.
