<blockquote><p>One or the other is going to happen Saturday at the SEC championship game.</p>
<p>Cam  Newton has not been available to the media for the past two games  against Georgia and Alabama. That will be an issue this week in the SEC  championship game. As you can see from the language below, all players  and coaches must be made available to the media in an open locker room  after the game or a school risks being fined.</p>
<p>I believe Auburn  will take the hit. Why change now when the punishment is, say, $10,000?  Joe Paterno absorbed a $15,000 fine a couple of years ago in the Rose  Bowl when he didn&#8217;t open his locker room.</p>
<p>I was at the Georgia  game. I don&#8217;t believe this is Auburn&#8217;s decision. I think the school has  been told by the NCAA and/or the FBI to clam up. They don&#8217;t want the  media to have the <em>opportunity</em> to ask Cam pointed questions.</p></blockquote>
<p>If that&#8217;s true, were I Auburn, I know where I&#8217;d send the bill.</p>
<p>If that&#8217;s true.</p>
