You already had a star play earn income selling his autograph, and then he got slapped on the wrist.
Have them sold in controlled environments. Monitor for obviously specific fraud like that.
I realize the SEC and others pays their players, but I see nothing wrong with them earn some money off of their own likeness. Bagmen are only a source of income at a few schools.
this and making weed legal would solve all the probs in the NCAA and NFL.

I have said this on here before, and every time it comes up OSU fans miss the point.
I agree that those NCAA rules were dumb as shit. Pryor and his bros should have been able to sell their own things. The NCAA is a horrible run organization. No matter how much you disagree with the rules though, they still exist. The issue came about when Tressel KNEW his players were ineligible, but did nothing about. Then later, he lied to the NCAA. THAT is where you should be lucky you got off how you did.
Yes, those rules were BS, but after the actions of Pryor and co., I'd say you got off ok. It could have been much worse, and it allowed OSU to bounce back almost immediately (also Meyer being a fantastic coach).
So....you are in favor of Tom Brady being suspended for much of next year because he committed a rules violation?

If it is proven without a doubt that he directly called for the balls to be filled to a less than allowed PSI sure.
And that's even ignoring the fact the majority of the QBs in the NFL probably want their footballs on the fringes of that PSI range or just out. Hell, Aaron Rodgers said he likes the ball over inflated

Ahh, because monitoring unspecific arbitrary definitions of "fraud" is easier than just catching them outright, which we all know the NCAA fails to do. Key is to strengthen the NCAA, not relax its rules.

The NCAA is a spineless POS. It caters to the SEC, ignores blatant rule breaking, and is very inconsistent in handing down punishment. The Power Five conferences need to enact their own legislating body.
How about you allow the athletes to sell items, but cap that amount. Have the school control where and when they can sell the items, and have the school track the total amount?
A "strong" NCAA would mean a very different recent history for OSU, A&M and the SEC as a whole.

No it wouldn't. But whatever makes you feel better. You're always the victim in life, huh?The NCAA is a spineless POS. It caters to the SEC, ignores blatant rule breaking, and is very inconsistent in handing down punishment. The Power Five conferences need to enact their own legislating body.

And I know you think I'm contradicting myself being an SEC fan and saying "strengthen the NCAA." I'm not. We'll be fine.
Also, you rattle off your little list of grievances with the NCAA in your first paragraph, and rail on about how they're spineless, yet your solution is for their laws to be relaxed. Makes sense.

I just realized I spelled *released* wrong, I'm not sure if it is that important to change or not, but I couldn't find out how

Don't be too hard on yourself. Pryor has only been cut 3 times. You just haven't had enough practice yet.

He has only been cut twice

He is getting a workout with the Bungles, this is gonna come back to haunt us! Lol

He has only been cut twice
Off the top of my head, Raiders, Chiefs, Seahawks?

That being said:
In 2014, Pryor worked out for the Cincinnati Bengals, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, and Washington Redskins.
So there's four more teams where he didn't even make it to the roster to be able to be cut.

Wow, you Aggies haven't been part of the SEC for long, but you have the while thing down I see.
The NCAA has pointless rules that mostly just harm student athletes. The SEC also has rules they refuse to enforce at key schools.
The SEC has benefited from this for some time. This is one of a number of off the field factors that influenced their recent run of success. I could get into them all here if you like.
The NCAA as a whole us a shit org though. It needs to be replaced.
-
Whereas you haven't been a part of the SEC at all, but you "have the whole thing down."
I'm curious which conference rules aren't being enforced. We certainly are bound by them all the time. Didn't have a spring game this or last year because they won't let you hold them off campus.

Why on fucking Earth would you be an "SEC" fan? You may be a fan of a team in the SEC....but the rest of that conference are your enemies. Why would you support your enemies?
Do you support ISIS?

That's what makes it different, and the best.
Well, if you want to be a Quisling that is your right....and it is also your right to be shot for it. Just like Quisling.
But whatever their best may be....its not good enough.

Root for your conference opponents. Fuck that:
-
Got all the respect in the world for Ohio State. They do what needs to be done. They don't think college football is for saints like Woody does. I'm not gonna sit here and Listen to your dissertation on why OSU is awesome because I don't care to and I respect them. But rant away if you please. I know you will.
And you don't root for them when you're playing them. Thought that was fairly obvious but of course I can't assume anything with you.
-
I root for all Big Ten teams (even Michigan) when they are playing out of conference - and I root for whatever Big Ten teams give OSU the best chance at a title when they play in conference.
I want all Big Ten teams to win every game they play so that we can be as obnoxious as most SEC fans are when we talk about "the best conference".
It's a college sports thing - because I blatantly root against AFC North teams that aren't the Browns.
-
I think other conferences started doing it the last few years. Really after the last round of realignment because conference prestige started becoming more and more important to the point where the SEC was recruiting on it even nationally.
When we were in the Big 12, NOBODY in our fan base or in the entire Big 12 (that I know of) rooted for the conference in OOC games. But since 2012 I've seen the Texas fans here in Austin start to pick it up.
-
Look at you. Aggie fans join the SEC and now you're all about being an "SEC fan". I fucking hate SEC fans. The off the field advantages the SEC has utilized the past decade have been ridiculous.
Oversigning, bagmen, abusing medical hardships to cut players, playing bowls down south, never leaving the south for a game, media bias, inflated preseason poll ratings, etc etc etc.
Not every SEC team does these things (Muschamp UF and UGA have been clean) but damned it the majority doesn't.
I'd prefer there to be a level playing field. I'd prefer teams to win "the right way". None of that matters to a lot of teams in current cfb tho.
