Quick question, If JF didn't PERSONALLY profit from the signings, but his sack rider Nate Fitch did, would that be a violation? Basically if Fitch negotiated the signings and collected all the money for HIMSELF and shared absolutely zero with JF, would that be a violation?

[Vertnut]

I would imagine if that's proven, it wouldn't be a violation. If NCAA is checking bank records, etc, they will get to the bottom of it.

I don't think so, but if they think of him as Johnny's agent, then that's a whole other situation.

Something is up

Wow. RT @Andy_Staples: Emmert says NCAA selling those goods is "a mistake." "We're going to exit that kind of business immediately."

Dennis Dodd @dennisdoddcbs 3m
Mark Emmert says that http://NCAASports.com is basically done as a business. Will continue selling NCAA-related gear.

Lawyer sounds "confident"

Like I give a fuck what he does. The NCAA doesn't want kids profiting off their names because they don't want the competition.

[Trip McNeely]

If he can't make money off of his name, no one should. Case Closed. That goes for any college sports star.

Never mind, there's nothing going on.

Sure there's not

Basically the NCAA is saying "Oh shit, if this kid is suspended, ratings will drop, and the Biggest game of the Season in Week 3 wont happen!" is how im reading this...

It's even funnier reading/hearing what the lawyer was saying on The Herd this morning. Didn't sound too smart. Then again, what kind of lawyer says "yes" to go on a talk show??

[Bputacoma]

Relax, its in his blood. Manziels have been doing this for ages.
