Ok, lets see, AJ Greene sells his jersey to a guy for moolah. Gets held out of how many games? Little Johnny gets paid what, $7200 (according to the media) for signing autographs, and we wait to see how credible the NCAA is on college football players making dough while representing and playing the game. Hmmmmmmm, based upon the Scam Newton affair I say they have zero cred and he gets a bye.

Richt suspended him for 4 games and NCAA said "Good Job, sentence to time served".
Had Richt not suspended him, there's no guarantee AJ would have been suspended.
Or am I remembering this all wrong?
Secondly, AJ sold his jersey TO AN AGENT/RUNNER.
That's was the big deal.... not that he sold his own signed jersey, but that it sold for $1000 from AN AGENT which means he TOOK MONEY FROM AN AGENT.

It's never about what's alleged, and always about what can be proven. Sadly, the paper trail with AJ was very short and 100% damning.
I'm with you. I don't think he'll miss a minute of game time. I just find it hard to believe that "Uncle Nate" is smarter than the NCAA. (Not that that takes much, mind you). If he did something wrong, surely somebody will come out and talk with the investigators. The problem with Newton is that no one that was willing to talk to the media was willing to put up or shut up when the NCAA came a'knockin'. At that point, with no proof there's no case.
Personally, I hope JM gets nailed to the wall if for no other reason than to shut up the idiots crawling out of the woodwork to call up sports talk stations saying,"Reggie Bush got busted. Cam Newton caught hell even if he didn't do anything, but Johnny Manziel gets a pass because he white."

the NCAA is a joke!!
So if jonny womanizel doesn't get in trouble, I guess its ok for players to get paid to sign pics of them. As long as it isnt an agent??
