re: Manziel recommendation from NCAA on Wednesday

Only when it came out today that they will be making a recommendation to A&M about a punishment or lack thereof did we know they don't have much of anything. The NCAA doesn't nicely recommend things when they could just as easily come down on a player/program, especially now when they are scrambling to prove they have some semblance of power left.

Actually, my understanding from over 9000 pages of ATPB is that it is incumbent upon the program to sit or not sit a player. The investigative arm only makes recommendations based on the evidence they have and the enforcement arm doles out the hammer, be it hard or limp.


If I'm wrong, blame Blue Tuna Tiger.
