there is no timeline.

I would be surprised if he is back at any point.

has not worked out with team since suspension and has not been able to use any of the facilities. Even if reinstated at some point, would be a month from being able to help

Funny how they can rule on Manziel so quickly, but not this or even when just wanting to know if recruit will qualify. Their (NCAA) commercial about supporting athletes is a joke!

Yeah it makes no sense Manziel sits one half and Couch cannot even gat an answer for how long he will have to sit.

I think the ball is in UT's court. they haven't asked the NCAA to rule on anything at this point.

I'm gonna say the same thing I said before. Give the players normal rights over their name and likeness. They deserve a cut of that the same as anyone else does. Players own their own autographs and memorabilia. They should be able to sell them. The free market will decide the price. The NCAA and whatever school in question are out nothing that they have any legitimate right to.

If the players want to be paid for their football skills, they should go to the NFL. The players know UPFRONT before they play down 1 in colllege that they are getting room and board and full tuition all fully paid for. A completely free college education but no salary. If they do not like those rules, they can pass on the scholarship offering. When they come to college and decide "its all about ME' " and take illegal benefits, the impact is felt by (potentially) millions. That is nothing but being self centered.

You say it's all about ME, but it is my understanding MO has a family to support. Not easy to do when he is going to school, working a full time job in football, and is not allowed to work in meaningful employment. It was my understanding he likely took those benefits to help out his family. That is the right kinda selfish to me.

There are many social network help agencies available that could have contributed to Mo's family issue (if that is truly the issue) that would not have sold out his team mates, coaches, and potentially put the entire UT football team in jeopardy. For that move he does not deserve a chance to run back out thru the T. He sold his ticket for a few measly bucks to an agent. Ineligible now.

Ah yes. Mister perfect here thinks MO is not good enough for a second chance. Lets see how that works out for you. Highly doubt you go cutting off family and friends when they screw up.

No he is not worthy for a 2nd chance. No one is when they threaten the entire program over intentional, selfish acts. Best they just move on with their ME attitude and just twitter away.

Like Mo is alone in doing so???? Lets face facts, if an average to good player like Mo is getting paid there are a lot more following his foot steps. Mo has a family and kids to feed, between a 25-30 football commitment and a 20-30 hour school commitment when would you suggest he "get a job"?

Pointing fingers to others and saying they are all guilty is no excuse. I imagine he has been asked if he knows of anymore incidents on the UT team of accepting brides/payoffs/kickbacks; whatever you want to call it. Fact is he hid it until the paper trail showed otherwise then came out and admitted guilt and I'm sure the NCAA is not happy over that. Hence the official "wait".

He is becoming a great role model for the others on the team. A role model to NEVER follow.

Listen Mr. Holier Than Thou, Mo might not have even know about such agencies (if they exist) geared to help a full time student-athlete. often minority members don't, know about help agencies because no one ever told them. Here's just one of many examples. When I worked in Arizona, it was very (I stress "very") common for us to accidentally and later via active efforts to find disabled Native American and Mexican-American children who had never attended a special school or program. There were agencies designed to help or educate specific segments of the population needing the unique services they provided. We frequently found 12-17 year old kids whose parents had no idea these agencies existed. In some cases, they had actually via their church or via state education agencies sought help for their kids. But were either not told about the agency that could help them or were told there were no services for their particular kid. We saw variations of parental responses when we sat them down to guide them through applications for services. Some were shocked such agencies existed. Some were angry feeling previous sources had basically lied to them. Some broke down in tears of gratitude that their child would get a chance to be self-supportive or even just learn to read and write their name if nothing else. Certain older kids (17+) were eligible for waivers that allowed a special school to continue their education up to age 21 (rare) but truth was you never could recover the lost years and educate them beyond maybe a 3rd-4th grade level. Some exceptions of course depending on what the disability was. Point is, very often minorities are aware or made aware of services.

So instead of spewing ignorant and arrogant presumptions, at least become aware of the actual situation before you condemn others. It wouldn't hurt either if you practiced a Native American adage: "Grant that I not criticize anyone until I have walked a mile in his moccasins."

I wasn't talking about ignorant of the definition. I'm talking about ignorant of the sensitivity of that topic to compare it to something like college football.

On Mo Couch possibly being back for the USC game...
