This autograph thing looks pretty bad. He'd be suspended, at a minimum. and might even be ruled ineligible to play college foosball again.

Once the value of the improper benefit(s) reaches $1,000, the four game suspension comes into play. They suspended AJ Green for selling his jersey for a grand.

That said, there is no way the NCAA benches him.

They have to pay it back, but I think a suspension is mandatory. I was listening to college radio on sirius this am and they said a guy at UGA did it, made a thousand. Had to pay it back and also got a four game suspension. This would be far worse, than that, plus if JM lied to the investigators, it could be uber bad for him.

One or two game suspension max. I'll be shocked if he doesn't play against Alabama.

This will go down like Auburn and Cam Newton. It doesn't matter what you know it's what you can prove.

They would have to prove money changed hands before they could do anything.

What a maroon. If he should somehow miraculously survive this most stupid moment, there's always tomorrow. Tomorrow will always be this guys biggest enemy.

College football has had enough of Johnny Football. I think A&M has heard about enough crap from his daddy about "not protecting my boy". Jeezuz Krist they need to nut up and shut up. I hope he plays and beats the bammer's,,then they can send the kid off to the arena league.

Reggie Bush disagrees with you. The NCAA's standard of "proof" is very different from the judicial system's.

The worst that will happen is the investigation takes the first three weeks of the season. A&M holds him out of those games just in case and right after the Bama game they say they couldn't find any proof.

That's not going to happen. A&M won't hold him out pending an investigation. What's the worst that could happen? Vacating games? They won't win without him, so vacating isn't much of a punishment.

Exactly. They will risk vacating games by playing him. Auburn rolled the dice and played Cam Newton. It paid off for them.

I think A&M will run the same risk.

Vegas chimes in:

"Meanwhile, with NCAA officials investigating Manziel, the Las Vegas Hotel sports books on Sunday night took Texas A&M-Alabama off the board. Bets have also been taken down on Texas A&M games against Arkansas, Ole Miss, LSU and Missouri."

I think u r right. Johnny F may have already played his last game of college FB. More to the point- the NCAA has outlived its reason for being. Within 10-15 years, the SEC will add 6-8 more top schools ( in terms of what fans want to see ) and will withdraw from the NCAA and have its own rules about players getting some spending money and the other bs the NCAA is so pedantic about. The NCAA needs the SEC more than an expanded SEC would need the NCAA. There is no legal reason that I know about why this cant happen. Its about the money and football is most of the money. WE DONT NEED THE NCAA to sell a contract to fox,espn, or whomever we want.

If he does get a suspension for what is alleged, it will be more than one or two games. The question is when such a suspension might arise.

But if the Manziels decide not to cooperate with the AA, they seem to be the types that won't, then there is this:
While the NCAA doesn't have "Subpoena power" I think they can get their hands on Manziel's bank records. The way I understand it, he is pretty much forced to cooperate (whether honestly or dishonestly) or he can face a suspension for not cooperating.

According to Bo Mattingly here in arkansas. He checked with the compliance department.

100-200$ is a 10% loss of playing time for the season

300-500$ is a 30% loss of playing time.
This is 4 games right here.

He stated that they told him any amount of money over that is a gray area as there is no set precedent

Yes he will play. The only way he will miss any games is if he is injured. The NCAA will drag their feet like the always do and finally make a decision after JF's eligibility s already over.

He's done, with the authentication company coming out and saying they paid him, the NCAA is going to have to rule him ineligible
