Prior to Cam Newton's commitment to Auburn, one recruiter said Cecil Newton told him it would take "more than a scholarship" to bring his son to Mississippi State, a request the source said the school would not meet.
Cam Newton also spoke openly about his hope for a pay-to-play plan.
Cecil Newton also referred the recruiter to a third person that would provide more specifics, the source said.
Cecil Newton, who previously has denied any wrongdoing, did not respond to an e-mail request for comment Tuesday night.
Newton began his college career at Florida before transferring to Blinn Junior College in Texas.
