I demand Gary Patterson come in to lecture Sumlin and the Ags on how Johnny won't learn any life lessons from a ONE Half suspension

I don't know if it is within the power of the NCAA to make that a rule, but you gotta know most coaches will for their own team. We can call it the JFF Rule

The NCAA said they couldn't prove it. That doesn't mean the NCAA said you are not guilty. That's two entirely different things.

First post in a while.. Don't really know where to start.. But this seems like a nice thread.

This is bad comedy.
Meanwhile two years later Frank Haith is still waiting for a ruling from the NCAA on shite that's even harder to prove than the Manziel stuff. Whatevs. I don't really care what the standard is, just make it consistent. But the NCAA is not a dispenser of justice, its an economic cartel and there is $$$ to be made by all sides in having the Heisman winner play big matchups against Bama et al. Not much has changed since basketball coach Abe Lemmon's quote back in the 1950s: "The NCAA was so mad at Kentucky basketball that it put Oral Roberts on 3 years probation."

LINKJOINT STATEMENT FROM TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY & THE NCAA REGARDING JOHNNY MANZIEL ALLEGATIONS
COLLEGE STATION, Texas—Texas A&M University and the NCAA confirmed today that there is no evidence that quarterback Johnny Manziel received money in exchange for autographs, based on currently available information and statements by Manziel. Due to an inadvertent violation regarding the signing of certain autographs, Texas A&M declared Manziel ineligible and submitted the following conditions for reinstatement to the NCAA:
• A one-half game suspension for Manziel
• Manziel will address the team regarding the situation and lessons learned
• Texas A&M will revise its future education concerning student-athlete autographs for individuals with multiple items
Based on the information submitted by the university, the NCAA accepted the conditions as put forward by Texas A&M. If additional information comes to light, the NCAA will review and consider if further action is appropriate. NCAA rules are clear that student-athletes may not accept money for items they sign and based on information provided by Manziel, that did not happen in this case.
Statement from Texas A&M University System Chancellor, John Sharp:
“I am proud of the way both Coach Sumlin and Johnny handled this situation, with integrity and honesty. We all take the Aggie Code of Honor very seriously and there is no evidence that either the university or Johnny violated that code.”
Statement from Texas A&M Director of Athletics Eric Hyman:
“Texas A&M University would like to thank the NCAA staff, not only for its fairness and professionalism throughout this process, but also for the expediency of its actions. Texas A&M is a proud member of the NCAA and the Southeastern Conference and, as such, we will continue to abide by the rules governing the association and the conference. Texas A&M is committed to competing with integrity and sportsmanship, and we will continue to ensure strict compliance guidelines for our student-athletes, coaches and supporters.”
Statement from NCAA Vice President of Academic and Membership Affairs Kevin Lennon:
“Student-athletes are often asked for autographs from fans, but unfortunately, some individuals’ sole motivation in seeking an autograph is for resale. It is important that schools are cognizant and educate student-athletes about situations in which there is a strong likelihood that the autograph seeker plans to resell the items.”
Texas A&M and the NCAA will have no further comment on this matter.

Doesn't matter either way.

Yeah, Cam didn't get paid either. Manziel just signs 800 autos for no compensation. I have some property to sell you.
