there was a high profile player that was a potential Heisman candidate that was going overboard with getting paid. The mods asked me not to mention any names so I kept their name private. They are definitely a Heisman candidate this year, 100%.


Buga, say it ain't so!

If you approach Winston now and ask him to sign something, he won't do it unless you give him a name to personalize it. Zero value when it says "to blah blah blah"


So it isn't Jameis....

Can't be Jameis. I refuse to believe that he can spell his name.

1.) Precedent was set by NCAA last year with Manziel

2.) NCAA wouldn't touch this bear if they could given all the litigation surrounding them regarding player compensation and profiting off of their own name/likeness

unfortunately that precedent is an anal probe and a 1/2 game suspension (which is of course full retard but that's for another day)

The torch and pitchfork mob who loathe the player in question--whomever he may be.

Few things get under my skin like statism.
A kid owns his autograph.
If some sycophant wants to shell out a few dollars for his signature, have at it.

This. Also, this would be a terrible PR fight for the NCAA to pick at the present time. Gurley's family is really poor, and one of his brothers is in jail. Good luck arguing that he shouldn't have taken the money.



Then why did he return to UGA? He could have gone to Canada for a year or just quit the team and hold autograph signings anywhere he liked

This isn't statism. Gurley or Manziel or whomever are not legally forced to play football and abide by NCAA rules.

I can't wait for the day the big boy conferences tell the NCAA to take a hike. Let the dude make some change for his signature. No different than mowing someone's yard. He performed a service and got paid for it.
