Cam Newton played football for Auburn, Auburn belongs to the NCAA.  As such, old man Newton has no relationship with the NCAA and is free to work anywhere he wants. That\'s why the NCAA allowed Newton to play.  Unless they can show that the player violated the rules, they cannot anction him or the school.  Otherwise, if your wife gets a speeding ticket, can they count it against your record?

Do you remember when Jack Elway coached at Stanford, under your argument, that would be an NCAA violation.  My son played football at UCLA, does that mean I can NEVER work as a professor at UCLA?

You have a right to do as you will in employment or accepting \'gifts\'.  People cannot restrain your choices for whatever reason without your agreeent.  It has nothing to do with a right to lay football.

You should also be aware that (expecially in California) most courts will not uphold non-compete clauses for pretty much the same reason (people are free actors and have the right to earn a living).
