I just wish and want the NCAA to treat everybody fairly and with transparency. That's all I ask."

Yes, we have discussed it before. However, the disney sports network has it as an active poll. I want to know what others think. I want Manziel to play, but I don't want Texas A&M to get hammered if they do play him without authorization. I don't like any SEC school, except Auburn, to get hammered by the NCAA. I want Manziel to be present for the butt kicking he has coming on September 14th.

We have a 1k thread going about it. Pretty clear where most people stand on it.

OK! I have been bitch slapped. I should have ran a search before I started this thread. I apologize for not following forum etiquette. Please merge or delete this thread.

I don't care. I've stated before that Aggy does not need JF to play this year to win 10 + games with that weak as hell schedule. Let the boy play.....

Did anyone see the Kevin Sumlin's : T A&M weekly press conference? There was an odd moment...Basically right before Sumlin a statement from the Director of Athletics told the press that the topic of discussion was going to be on preparation of Rice, and not to discuss anything Johnny Manziel related.

About half-way through (15:20 mark) an ESPN reporter tells Sumlin the Texas A&M Code of Honor and then asks Sumlin, how that code of honor will influence the decision for Johnny Manziel to play. It was definitely an awkward moment.

Jackie Sherrill was laughing the whole time while pissing all over this statue, FYI.....

I wonder if he could still win while throwing passes and standing on his head.

That game just got interesting.

manziel suspended

for a half against rice..... hmmmm

 

[fearthepelicans]

Not surprising. Given the NCAA's recent track record, did anyone really think he wouldn't be on the field against Alabama?

So you can take cash straight up and get a half game suspension but if you trade your own property for a tat you get 5 games.

Makes sense.

Not against Rice!!!! They're royally fucked now...

I thought they would give him 2 games. Both games theat A&M should easily win. This is terrible. You decide he violated NCAA rules and give him a 1/2 game suspension. NCAA would have looked better if it gave him nothing and said they could not find any evidence.

 

[podsox]

if the ncaa found that he didn't take money why is he sitting at all?

The NCAA has acknowledged Manziel did not receive money for signing autographs, the source said.

Good question.

It might be over before he even gets in the game...

Not exactly... I would agree if those 5 games weren't until AFTER the bowl when the players were going to declare for the NFL.

They should start doing it like the NBA and free-throws when someone gets injured... take the highest ranked team at the time of the penalty and make them sit out that game.

He did nothing wrong, but is getting suspended for a half? Judgement day has now been moved to September 14th. "There's a sad day coming, a sad day coming...!"
