No, suspending before an NCAA investigation would be an admission guilt, and that would be foolish on Bama's part. However, this being a recurring issue could give the NCAA an opportunity to dig around a little further, and no school ever wants that.

They dug the first time and didn't find anything.

I also think we've entered a new era of very little NCAA enforcement when it comes to players profiting from their likenesses and signatures. At least until the O'Bannon stuff is completely put to bed.

The NCAA's standards for lack of institutional control don't include violations of team rules or university policy. If the school is telling the players not to be around this guy, they can choose to punish them as they see fit. But it's not a lack of control if the players don't listen, at least according to the NCAA. As of yet, there's no one has been accused of an NCAA violation.

Now, arguing that the coaches should punish breaking of team rules by suspending a bunch of guys is fine. It's also painfully naive.

Either way, don't cross-up school and NCAA rules. They aren't the same.

It is a lack of institutional control when they turn a blind eye to NCAA violations. The guy was disassociated for a reason.

What violations? Not a single player has been accused of an NCAA violation in this case. And the NCAA stopped by to check it out and moved on without a peep.

Without any sort of proof, the NCAA will do nothing - & they're definitely as weak as they've ever been now

I still think though, if this guy is selling merch signed by guys who have been told not sign stuff for him - You never know what could happen

God forbid we have a few guys that get slammed like Johnny Football did. That half game suspension was freaking brutal.
