TMZ.com is an entertainment gossip site first and foremost. 

That said, TMZ reported this afternoon that the FBI investigation into Cam Newton’s recruitment “now involves a guy who gave more than $1 million to Auburn University… and was recently arrested in a bribery sting.”

The website reports:


“According to sources connected to the probe… FBI agents looking into the Newton recruiting controversy are also asking about Milton McGregor — a dog track owner arrested last month for allegedly bribing Alabama politicians to vote pro gambling.

“We’re told agents asked someone connected to the Newton case if he was familiar with McGregor or the bribery scandal. 

“It’s unclear what, if any, direct connection McGregor has to Newton.”


McGregor gave a million dollar donation to Auburn for it’s new basketball arena in 2008.  His attorneys have asked a federal judge to throw out all 17 of the charges made against him in the bribery case.  McGregor is accused of vote-buying.
