Basically the NCAA is saying "Oh shit, if this kid is suspended, ratings will drop, and the Biggest game of the Season in Week 3 wont happen!" is how im reading this...

It's even funnier reading/hearing what the lawyer was saying on The Herd this morning. Didn't sound too smart. Then again, what kind of lawyer says "yes" to go on a talk show??

[Back N Black]

Never mind, there's nothing going on.

Sure there's not

If he can't make money off of his name, no one should. Case Closed. That goes for any college sports star.

[YALE]

Like I give a fuck what he does. The NCAA doesn't want kids profiting off their names because they don't want the competition.

Lawyer sounds "confident"

Something is up

Wow. RT @Andy_Staples: Emmert says NCAA selling those goods is "a mistake." "We're going to exit that kind of business immediately."

Dennis Dodd @dennisdoddcbs 3m
Mark Emmert says that http://NCAASports.com is basically done as a business. Will continue selling NCAA-related gear.

Quick question, If JF didn't PERSONALLY profit from the signings, but his sack rider Nate Fitch did, would that be a violation? Basically if Fitch negotiated the signings and collected all the money for HIMSELF and shared absolutely zero with JF, would that be a violation?

I don't think so, but if they think of him as Johnny's agent, then that's a whole other situation.

[Vertnut]

I would imagine if that's proven, it wouldn't be a violation. If NCAA is checking bank records, etc, they will get to the bottom of it.

@schadjoe: Wright Thompson: "A half dozen sources and counting have said that, among other things, [Uncle Nate] Fitch helped run a Manziel autograph business."

But...they are an "oil-rich" family!

No bias at all.
