Manziel Being Investigated

Whether it is him or someone else, at some point I think someone needs to challenge the authority of the AA to regulate these kids lives to the degree they do. These schools rake in millions if not billions of dollars on the backs of these kids that they work like government mules. They "allow" them to attend their schools for no tuition and proceed to tell them they cannot profit off of their own likeness or autographs when most of them can't even afford to go buy a pizza on Friday night. It is disgustingly hypocritical and borders on legalized indentured servitude.

All or part of the season? It would seem that would negate his amateur status and make him ineligible from now on.

Spoiler Alert:

If Manziel is found guilty of anything, he will just have to pay the amount earned to a charity.

Move along, nothing to see here.

Not true. If he is guilty he will not play this year. I hope that does not happen. I look forward to watching him play.

If JFF is out, our only real competition is LSU, and they lost a ton this year. So Atlanta is guaranteed, and I like our chances against the little sister division.

So yeah. Threepeat confirmed.

Can someone please call the Fulmer Detective Agency on the red elephants -- the NCAA needs solid evidence not a photo of a punk like Dee Liner holding money.

All kidding aside, there is no way Manziel misses a single second of the upcoming season.

I don't see how signing autographs for $20,000 makes him a pro-athlete. The NCAA is stupid, and this is the kind of stuff that proves they need to go away.

The AA ignored the Bama situation where their guys did the same thing. If they nail JM their bias will be on full display.

It doesn't make him a pro athlete, but, if true, these alleged violations fall squarely within the definition of "improper benefits."

Not true. This was the punishment for Julio Jones and Mark Ingram's boat ride.

AJ Green did however miss 4 games for selling a signed game worn jersey.

I disagree. By definition a professional athlete is someone who earns money from their athletic ability. That is exactly what is happening here. Accepting money changes his amateurism status.
