So the argument every one has said it they players did not know the merchandise they were signing was going to be sold. As you said MOST people take a picture if they want proof but instead im guessing they say here sign this certificate so i can display it with my merchandise. Not to mention if the guy had a camera to take a pic to post it online im sure he could take a pic to prove he signed it.

Also

Vice memorabilia was selling signed Richardson and McCarron jerseys that were said to have been signed 9-3-2010 which is the same date Richardson signed the jerseys for tom. They have already admitted Tom was selling merchandise and now those particular items have been pulled for the website. So im guessing after Trent left the clothing store he just happened to run into Mr Vice and sign jerseys for him also.

Member for 7 months, and your entire post history is since this came to light, save one. This is like a lurker on the OT showing up to post emails for nudes of someone for you, isn't it?

Can't speak to "every one"s argument.



Mine, however, is that players sign shite. It happens. They probably had a wink-wink nudge-nudge relationship with the guy about him taking care of them when they either leave for the draft or graduate. Happens all the time in a lot of different arenas. "Hey, champ. Sign this for me..when you get out, yell at me and we'll do some business." My position is that it is against NCAA guidelines to either knowingly allow your likeness to be used for promotion or to receive something in exchange. "Knowingly" is a beautiful, grey area word. To receive something in exchange would relate to present day, not some future nudge-nudge, wink-wink deal. It is all a part of the business that is big boy college football. Everyone wants to eat the sausage, but they don't want to see it being made...
