I know, I was refuting the claim that no players can sign anything at all even if no money is exchanged. Fan days and G-Day there are hundreds of people getting signatures.

JW is guilty as far as I read this. I'm sure the FSU lawyers would argue that JW's signature on a jersey does not constitute "an advertisement" of that jersey or "a direct promotion" of that jersey. This is why NCAA arbitration needs to be on the record to establish precedent like our real court systems. Otherwise the NCAA will be able to brush something under the rug so long as an attorney presents some dumb argument to give them plausible deniability that they ignored their own rules.

Help me here...it is against the rules to even allow your signature to go to memorabilia dealers (whether you get paid or not). Back to what FSU is doing...they are standing on that JW didn't get paid which indirectly is acknowledgment of the fact that he signed stuff for a memorabilia dealer. There is no way under the rule or even ethics clauses of the NCAA that they can justify why he (Gurley or others) would sign hundreds of the same items at the same time. The schools MUST take steps once they know.
"Kids sign things all the time," Fisher said after Saturday's game. "So what do you want them to do, stop signing stuff? We could make them not have any fans from that standpoint and not sign for anybody. That's what it's going to come to, and that's a shame for college football, that somebody exploits a kid. Now, if they're getting paid for it, then I don't have any knowledge of that. I don't believe Jameis did."
So...wtf. The rule isn't just that you can't get paid. That simply increases the nature of the violation. The rule is you can't sign at all. At all. At a minimum, we and they must report the violation and take steps to stop it. You mean to tell me it takes a blogger one day after Gurleygate to putt the facts from JSA and Ebay but FSU (or UGA) didn't have the knowledge or resources to do that preemptively?
Now...anybody want to tell me that any of these schools didn't know this stuff was out there in volumes? They are all guilty of not reacting.
The "don't ask don't tell", "didn't happen if you can't prove it" stuff is maybe why ethics in college sports have gone to sh!t.
This situation better head toward some equity soon because if JFF, JW, etc finish their careers with Heisman trophies and natty's, and we end up having the best player in the country but end his career because he came clean or because some scum bag chose to single him out...heads should roll.
The rule is BS...the skirting around the rule is even bigger BS. Lawyers better be doing their jobs.
Could you expand on that?

I just wonder if once again (AJ Green) we accept greater penalty because our player came clean (assuming Gurley did) while this goes on and on with other elite players. Clowney, Watkins, Marshall, Winston, etc, etc all had 100+ groups of authenticated items.
Caveat...groups of sequential authenticated items don't mean they all happened at the same time just that they got submitted at the same time. But having them signed in the same place, high volume and being the same item makes it pretty unlikely.
Noles would have you believe Winston is just super nice and just signed all those at baseball games for the friggin kids.
If we go down...we best take some mfs with us.

AFAIK, the current suspension has nothing to do with Gurley coming clean and everything to do with the dealer ratting him out.
Life sucks. He might be back this season. He might not. We want him back, but we've also proven that we aren't a steaming pile of shite without him.

TG was suspended after 5pm EST, if I remember correctly....that means he can be unsuspended after 5pm?

These people need to realize that just because someone drives by Butts-Mehre everyday doesn't mean they are a credible source.

Last week McGarity was rumored to make a statement today or tomorrow, don't know if the letter he released late Friday changed that or not. Hopefully we have a confirmation one way or the other about Gurley's status for Saturday soon.
