Why is he being suspended for half a game when the NCCA says he received no money for those autographs?!?!

Another NCAA head-scratcher!!!

Welp, that'll learn 'em.

 

[AirForceOrange]

Just means some small time school is about to get hammered!!

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Also, when he comes out of the tunnel at the half I hope they do it WWF style, with theme music and all kinds of stuff. Maybe bust a folding chair over the Rice Owl or something.

Probably because he received the check but hadn't cashed it yet.

Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel suspended without pay for the first half of game vs. Rice. He will be signing autographs out in the concession stands of Kyle Field during the first half.

What an absolute joke. Now that they're done with Manziel, I hope the NCAA now has some free time to clear Tyler Roberson.

He gave everyone in the NCAA clearing committee an autographed ball

From another article.

Odds are the Manziel suspension is a result of a violation of NCAA Bylaw 12.5.2.2, which reads as follows:

Title:12.5.2.2 - Use of a Student-Athlete's Name or Picture Without Knowledge or Permission.​

If a student-athlete's name or picture appears on commercial items (e.g., T-shirts, sweatshirts, serving trays, playing cards, posters) or is used to promote a commercial product sold by an individual or agency without the student-athlete's knowledge or permission, the student-athlete (or the institution acting on behalf of the student-athlete) is required to take steps to stop such an activity in order to retain his or her eligibility for intercollegiate athletics. Such steps are not required in cases in which a student-athlete's photograph is sold by an individual or agency (e.g., private photographer, news agency) for private use.​

Which would be a secondary violation far less severe than if the NCAA had evidence of Manziel accepting money for autographs.

Also, the fact he apparently associated with these guys might have factored into it.

If the NCAA made him miss the Bama game, Silve would have withdrawn the SEC today. Emmert is running scared right now. I mean what other place is going to pay him 7 figures after the NCAA implodes.

I didn't think the NCAA would be dumb enough to actually find something and then suspend Manziel for multiple games or the season...He is going to bring in money for the NCAA...whether he does well, the same or regresses...people will watch and see what happens to him over the season, which means money!!

BREAKING: The NCAA has reduced A-Rod's suspension to 3 innings.

BREAKING: The NCAA has reduced A-Rod's suspension to 3 innings.

Syracuse University will be banned from the next five footbal bowl seasons and next 10 BB tournaments for lack of institutional control on the drug test issue, to make up for Johnny Football. :bang:

At least hat'll still cost him a mil.

The NCAA is only enabling Johnny's continued rise to riche$.

 

[Full_Rebar]

The funniest part is that A&M set the suspension criteria and the NCAA simply agreed.

Shalala is really going to lose it when the U gets more sanctions than the ones they have already self-imposed (this is what Feldman is predicting to happen this Fall)

 

[SaltineWar]

The NCAA is officially worthless. It just doesn't have the juice to police the game at all anymore.

Just means TYLER ROBERSON is about to get hammered!!

This is just the dumbest thing.

Nothing to do but shake your head and laugh. I don't really care either way, but my god, this is funny from every angle.
