In the words of Lee Corso, “not so fast my friend.” The State of Texas passed legislation in 1987 that could hold the autograph hounds liable for their actions if they paid Manziel for his autograph in violation of NCAA legislation. Section 131.004 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code states “a person who violates a rule of a national collegiate athletic association adopted by this chapter is liable for damages in an action brought by an institution if (1) the person knew or reasonably should have know that a rule was violated; and (2) the violation of the rule is a contributing factor to disciplinary action taken by the national collegiate athletic association against the institution or a student at the institution.” This would give Texas A&M University the authority to file suit against the autograph hounds if it or Manziel receives punishment from the NCAA. Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 131.006 and 131.007 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, Texas A&M University's damages may include “lost television revenues and lost ticket sales of regular season and post-season athletic events” and “reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.” Certainly, if Manziel is not on the field for the Aggies, there could be substantial losses in revenue.
In short, autograph hounds might want to consider how loudly they express their purported shortcomings and alleged payments to Manziel. There is a Texas statute that can provide a hammer for their alleged actions.

Not sure this is relevant if none of this took place in Texas. Hard time enforcing Texas laws in Florida and Alabama.

Why do so many of you aggies come on this board and not claim to be aggie fans in your profile? Is it so you can brag about A&M and not get fingered for being a fanboy?

How does this work?
The act that breaks the NCAA rules is the paying for signatures, not the selling of the merchandise. If the signatures are procured outside of Texas how is this even applicable?
Selling memorabilia by a non-athlete is not a NCAA punishable offense. Signing items and receive cash for them are. No where does it include a clause against profiting within the State of Texas by the breaking of a NCAA rule. If the act of signing was not done in Texas I am at a loss how standing can be given due to the lack of a violation within the state of Texas.
It would be a fun argument to see happen from both sides of the issue, but to me it seems like somewhat of a stretch.

Dig, dig, dig, dig ------> Y'all are faster than a cat covering up shite.
I don't understand why in the world aTm administration would want to use their time and resources to pursue such a lawsuit?
Either JFF plays or he doesn't, period. aTm/Sumlin will want to move the frick on after this current shitstorm is over.
Maybe I've gotten to wrong impression of aTm. But they just don't come across as the kind of program that would want to waste an ounce of their time on anything related to JFF once he's moved on to the greener, more lucrative pastures of the NFL. They'll thank him for what he did, and move on to building their future in the SEC.
Sumlin doesn't seem like the kind of coach that would support a program that acted like an ambulance chaser. Going after money from sleezy brokers that enticed his star QB into sitting down and signing thousands of items on multiple occasions.

Still waiting on some proof of some sort of money exchange. Seems the NCAA is taking its time. Hope this gets resolved sooner rather than later. Would hope for some fireworks to go off on 9-13-13.

Scared? HA! We'd sit our starters after half. Mack Brown is garbage the sooner you realize this the better. But dont worry when we finish stealing all your recruits the real record will start to reflect how shitty of a coach he is. Mack Brown will be gone within 5 years.
