mrandyk Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I think the NCAA should pay the player royalties upon graduation. Get a figure that is reflective of how much money is made on a specific player, and then pay them if they graduate. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Watched part of the aTm season preview on FoxSports today. Kirk Herbstreit was absolutely gushing all over Manziel. Just went on and on and on about the awesomeness that is Johnny Football. It got to the point where I was actually embarrassed for Herbstriet. I'm pretty sure Herb got a bit of a chub while they were running through Manziel's highlights. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 He's playing.... http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/chi-texas-am-qb-johnny-manziel-expected-to-start-saturday-vs-rice-20130826,0,5261077.story Quote Link to comment
Apathy Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Per ESPN text I received ESPN SportsCenter - NCAA officials met with Johnny Manziel for 6 hours Sunday about alleged autograph deals - source Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I heard Saban sent out some sort of pre-emptive press release thing that said he will absolutely NOT acknowledge questions regarding Manziel or his eligibility in today's (or whenever's) presser. Quote Link to comment
AgMarauder04 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 He's playing, and he's gonna be pissed. Thoughts and Prayers for Rice's D. A&M has also discussed the possibility of a compromise by sitting him for the 2nd half of Rice and Sam Houston State games Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Why wouldn't he also sit out the first have of the Rice game? Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Why wouldn't he also sit out the first have of the Rice game? I think he is making the joke that TAMU will be ahead by enough points that Manziel won't play the 2nd half. Quote Link to comment

A&M has also discussed the possibility of a compromise by sitting him for the 2nd half of Rice and Sam Houston State games Sounds about right. Maybe he should forfeit his scholarship so a deserving member of the TAMU student body can put the scholarship to use. It's not like he's gonna graduate. Or needs the money. I also don't think Rice will be the cupcake game you think it is. I'm not predicting an upset but I wouldn't be surprised to see this game close late 3rd quarter before Johnny Football signs Rices death certificate in the fourth! Too soon??? Quote Link to comment
sd'sker Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 i just worry that any infraction will threaten any of the hundreds of credible championships aTm has earned. 3 Quote Link to comment
AgMarauder04 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Oh boy, we're back to that argument! Luckily, IF they were to find something, it happened after the season, so last season's results, with the possible exception of the Cotton Bowl, would stand. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Oh boy, we're back to that argument! Luckily, IF they were to find something, it happened after the season, so last season's results, with the possible exception of the Cotton Bowl, would stand. Yeah, but if he played this year, and the NCAA finds that he did indeed sign those autographs and was paid, all of your results for this year and any further year which he has played are out the window.

The Dude Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I haven't followed this at all, and am kind of astonished they would let him play. What's the deal here? NCAA just dragging their feet on the investigation? Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 He's playing, and he's gonna be pissed. Thoughts and Prayers for Rice's D. A&M has also discussed the possibility of a compromise by sitting him for the 2nd half of Rice and Sam Houston State games I hope he plays in every game this year. And A&M goes 14-0 Then they vacate the 14 wins when they find Mr. Foosball guilty. And A&M puts ANOTHER national championship on their stadium 1 Quote Link to comment
AgMarauder04 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 He is suspended for the FIRST HALF of Rice. Basically, with Rice down 3 of their best defenders, A&M should be up about 3 TDs...when Johnny F'n Football enters the game. It's gonna be glorious. LETS.F@(#.GO. Quote Link to comment
