All I have to say is, have fun with it Aggies. Lets see how mentally strong your football team is once the full court bammer press is on.

MOTHERFUCKING WERD.

If Chizik gets credit for nothing else, we should nominate him for sainthood for the stewardship he showed during that witch hunt. It helped that Cam wasn't a giant douche canoe, too.

This. And it should be a lot more entertaining to watch rather than lose sleep over it. Johnny's train wreck should also be entertaining.

I'm sure you'll hear that Johnny Foosball's troubles are just overblown hype.

This biggest difference (other than the dollars) that I see is that there is apparently evidence that suggests Johnny broke a rule while playing football for tamu. There was zero of that with Cam and AU that I know of. Yet, we endured an eternal investigation.

The only thing uat alum & fan John Phillips has is a bunch of pictures of Johnny Manziel signing memorabilia...that's it.

Per the USA Today's Dan Wolken, Texas A&M has retained the Birmingham law firm of Lightfoot, Franklin & White on Manziel matter.

Again, his dad makes some serious fuck you money. Johnny isn't at a loss for anything monetarily related. It doesn't make sense, I still say BS!

Not much in my book but still more than anyone had with Cam and AU and they searched our body cavities.

Looks like Jumbo may have been involved...

Whether or not he is guilty of getting money for signing shit (I don't think he is), this is pretty damning to the NCAA's case.

I think we're going to see changes in the NCAA over the next few years. That article I posted a few days ago about the BCS conferences starting to discuss a possible governing change is the beginning of it.

I wouldn't be opposed to seeing players and schools being allowed to profit off of their advertising and merchandising. Sure, it'd be an easy way to funnel money to various recruits and non-superstars, but perhaps put in some rules and regulations to curtail that.

What I mean is, why shouldn't Manziel be paid for his name on the back of an A&M jersey? It seems unAmerican to tell a 21 year old citizen that they aren't allowed to capitalize on their own success.

Really? Well somebody has to give up a piece of their pie in order for others to have a piece!

YOu mean un-American like that?

Again the problem with paying players is, you can't just pay football players. So all NCAA athletes would need to be paid, from Johnny Manziel to Caroline Becker (Auburn Equestrian Team). So how does a small school compete with that, they couldn't. Also I know football makes a lot of money, but that money also goes back into programs that wouldn't otherwise have funding.

I'm not saying these guys don't deserve some kind of stipend, I just don't see how you could do it.

Getting paid for an autograph hurts nobody. Getting paid for commercials is no cost to university. Getting paid by Nike to wear designer gloves is no cost.

Lots of ways for these guys to get paid without the university being out of a red cent.

Yeah but that is just for superstars what about 2nd string OL? What about the 1st string safety no one knows. What about the Wyoming WR that has no market share because no one gives a fuck about football in Wyoming.
