Third party could also be a sports memorabilia broker. It's a pretty general term. What if Manziel auctioned them off on eBay himself?
In summary: I understand that there are rules in place to prevent this. My point is that it is hypocritical that large institutions make huge amounts of money off players all the while preventing those players from profiting off the same thing. I understand the players earn 'free' degrees, eat food, amd live well, but coaches, ADs, SEC & NCAA execs, and ESPN commentators are being paid millions. I realize most people disagree with me. Thank you for bringing up a dead topic.

"Could be" a broker. It also includes boosters. What if it's AJ McCarron and he auctions them on ebay, and I organize other boosters to bid it up and make sure he makes a cool $500,000? And McCarron knows he will have the ability to do this when he signs with Alabama.
You don't like that institutions make huge money off the players, but you don't bother to take the time to rub a couple of brain cells together and actually think about the consequences of what you are advocating.

The one thing more pitiful than being extremely stupid is to be extremely stupid and a real a-hole at the same time. You just continue to prove with every post you make that you either don't have the brain cells to make a logical thought, or you're too lazy to use them. Either way, you really should save yourself any further embarrassment and just shut up about the subject.
