Herbie was 1000% correct. More "regulations" won't stop any thing, let alone this. There just has to be some consistent punishment for rule violations. And don't forget, the NCAA requires both the university & athlete to sign a contract agreeing to abide by the rules of an organization they both voluntarily joined. And yea, right, the poor kid with only one parent, if he is lucky, coming from a pathetic educational system, will stop & think " damn, if I'm not good enough, I cann't sell my name"??

You miss the point.

If he plays hardball , and doesn't admit , what is obvious , the the NCAA can bych slap him with this rule.

The school has rights here too. But that doesn't preclude the individual rights. The NFL has something similar. If I sell merchandise that has Tom Brady in a Pats uniform, I need to pay them both a licensing fee. I don't get to just pay the Pats which is how the NCAA does it.

I think the NCAA attempt to permanently exclude athletes from that is disgraceful. FFS, Desmond Howard is being sued for commercially using a picture of himself.

Good luck with getting them to understand that one game does not make you the best team in the league. Some A&M fans thought because they beat Bama that they should play for the National Championship. You can't get it thru their heads that on any given day any team can beat any team.
When South Carolina beat Bama a few years ago, then the next week they turned around and lost to Kentucky, but on the day that they played Bama, Garcia played a perfect game and couldn't make a mistake.



Yeh, i know you're right. It's funny watching them make their argument tho. I work with several delusional Ags that think they should've played in the National Championship last year and claim they really beat LSU.

They are quick to forget they lost to Florida & LSU @ Kyle Field, then needed miracles to beat the juggernauts of Ole Piss and Louisiana Tech.


But hell, they beat Bama and Johnny wins the Heisman, therefore .....National Champions.

i mean look at the guy a few posts above saying A&M was a top 5 team. They peaked at #8 last year. delusion.



also, Aggie coworker just came by to admit defeat.
said he knows someone on the medical staff there who txt him that A&M's freshman got the majority of the snaps today in practice.

he's a diehard Aggie, impossible to argue with, like many here, and he was pretty depressed.

but, i'm sure you all will take this as bullshite. i don't care.

The Manziel's sent C&D letters to eBay (and I assume others) over this very thing, causing the autograph brokers to be banned from eBay for 2 weeks. If that isn't "steps to stop such activity" I don't know what is!

A&M was #5 in both the final AP and Coaches poll, you know, the only poll all season that actually matters

A&M's practice hasn't even started yet. It starts in 10 minutes

Says the guy who doesn't think A&M finished #5, then gets all butthurt when someone calls him out on it. You're precious. How old are you? 19? 20?

I think in tandem with LSU not being a top ten team, thus proving 2012 Texas A&M >>> 2012 LSU, you sort of are.

look at the final top 10 from the past 10 years

count how many times LSU has been there.

now count how many times A&M has been there. 1?

...get back to me on that, while you continue to argue that 2012 A&M >> 2012 LSU even tho LSU beat A&M in 2012, for what very little sense that makes

So to clarify, you are saying we were better than Alabama last year?
