Half a game? Get the hell out of here. The NCAA proves once and for all that it is completely without testicles. What a joke! Either punish Manziel or leave the kid alone.
Risky Advice For The NCAA - Never Attempt To Save Face While Your Head Is Up Your Own Ass.
Risky
What's funny is that Manziel already drives a Mercedes that his daddy bought him, and if he wanted a Lambo, daddy could buy that for him too.
What is the difference between an athlete from a wealthy family getting 10k/month from parents and an athlete taking money from an agent/booster?
A kid with rich parents still qualifies as an amateur.
I am well aware of the rules.
What is the difference (rules aside).
I just said the difference. External money is being paid for services and, as such, amateur status is revoked.
Mommy and daddy buying you stuff isn't a payment for services. Johnny would get that money if he threw 30 picks.
No, you pointed out that there are rules.
A booster giving money is the same as parents giving money. The only difference; the latter is against the "rules".
That's like saying finding a wallet on the ground is the same as stealing.

I dont know why they cant sell autographs?

Yes, and the rules are important to guarantee amateur status. Surely you're not suggesting professional football players in college?No, you pointed out that there are rules.

Im not sure what would be a greater punishment...benching against Bama or starting him. I'll say this...if A&M pulls out a win on the 14th...love him or hate him...dood is Johnny Football. We'll see.This kid is a punk. His coach should have benched him for the coming Alabama game but the equally punk college board of directors would have fired him if he had. This punk separates himself from his teammates with this movie star attitude. It will get him in the end. Bear Bryant benched Joe Namath for the championship title game for being one minute late for curfew. Today we pander these pimps when we should be slapping them outside behind the building.
NCAA should have just let it go. Half-game suspension is even worse than doing nothing.
It couldn't produce evidence that money exchanged hands.
It's the SEC, surely you cannot be surprised the NCAA didn't try.That probably would have been easier to do if they...you know, tried.
