Johnny Football Suspended......

Supposedly this is what was referred to when Texas A&M offered punishment and the NCAA accepted:

Quote

Title:12.5.2.2 - Use of a Student-Athlete's Name or Picture Without Knowledge or Permission. If a student-athlete's name or picture appears on commercial items (e.g., T-shirts, sweatshirts, serving trays, playing cards, posters) or is used to promote a commercial product sold by an individual or agency without the student-athlete's knowledge or permission, the student-athlete (or the institution acting on behalf of the student-athlete) is required to take steps to stop such an activity in order to retain his or her eligibility for intercollegiate athletics. Such steps are not required in cases in which a student-athlete's photograph is sold by an individual or agency (e.g., private photographer, news agency) for private use. (Revised: 1/11/97, 5/12/05)

Texas A&M determined that Manziel knew these autographs would be sold for profit by an outside party and so they suspended him for a half. The NCAA accepted this as punishment thinking that as of right now, there is no evidence that Manziel received any of the profit made off of his autographs.

So, basically Title: 12.5.2.2 is referring to everything uat has and is still doing, minus the part about the players not knowing they were being used to promote Ttown Menswear, Hot Wheelz customization shop & S.W.A.T's PEDs.

It isn't illegal for him to sign it even if he knows the guy will sell it, though. If he didn't receive any money, then all is well. I think maybe the suspension is because the school is tired of him bringing negative attention. I could certainly understand that.

Yes it is...that's why he got suspended.

Quote

''Student-athletes are often asked for autographs from fans, but unfortunately, some individuals' sole motivation in seeking an autograph is for resale,'' said Kevin Lennon, NCAA vice president of academic and membership affairs. ''It is important that schools are cognizant and educate student-athletes about situations in which there is a strong likelihood that the autograph seeker plans to resell the items.''

Which makes this story and the T-Town Menswear story all the more laughable.

You're telling me those guys didn't know he would sell it for profit?

The NCAA is a joke.

This will only support this new super division that the big conference commissioners are talking about forming, with its own governing body.

Exactly. Also uat coaches and the athletic department can't say they didn't know about that going on, because they were among the players signing autographs and setting up the signing sessions at Ttown Menswear.
Before and after the C&D.

I hope Manziel falls flat on his face this season. Not because aTm beat Alabama last year, but because the kid is a douche bag. After each touchdown he threw, he held his hands up and rubbed his fingers together (as you would when saying "show me the money"). During the 4th quarter, he drew a taunting penalty after getting in a defender's face and pointing at the scoreboard after a touchdown play. After another play he was moving his hand around like he was autographing something in the face of a defender. He was shaking his head as if saying "you're not getting my autograph." He was being completely arrogant and acting like a child. All of this against the mighty Rice Owls.

I really hope that I'm right when I say Alabama is going to take a shit in their front yard next week. Rice was able to muster 509 yards on offense. 203 yards in the air, and 309 on the ground. If they can't stop Alabama's running game, then they're fucked. Even if they can, they have McCarron and a damn good WR corps to contend with. Another problem is that on offense, Manziel really is aTm's only weapon this year.

Agree. I want to like Manziel. Freshman Heisman winner. Bullshit allegations reminiscent of what Cam went through.

But there's no denying he's a mega-douche.

The Marshall Henderson of football.

If Alabama plays like this against aTm, the Aggies will win by at least 10. OL looks like total shit. Looks like I may have to eat my words.

I hope not. Hopefully this is just first game jitters for the OL, because the interior in particular looks like ass.

Getting back on track here. In defense of Johnny Football, even though the taunting incident was in poor taste, Rice defenders had been taunting him from the beginning. He does need to keep his emotions in check, aggies need him this year

Fuck that. I didn't see any Rice player taunting him, or doing anything like Manziel was doing. Maybe it was just words, I don't know. Sticks and stones.

For that matter, all of Manziel's issues in the offseason have been self-inflicted. He has made himself a target for alot of shit that will come his way this season.

Yep, they were, friend (Aggie) went up there for it, says Rice defenders were doing the "sign" thing. Don't excuse Manziel for his behavior, but he's got to know that everybody including Bama will be talking to him just like that. We probably will be talking shit to him too. Something he's just got to deal with. Like you said, he has brought that shit on himself. Grow up Johnny Football.

If the Rice players were getting to Johnny Manziel...he ain't seen nothing yet, wait until he steps foot in tuscalooser. Multiply whatever taunting he got from the Rice players by 100,000. The inbred uat athletic department will probably play some song about getting money or signing autographs or whatever...even if it's next year.
