OT: NCAA Lowers the Boom on Johnny Football

[BigErnMcCracken]

Suspended for thirty minutes. Literally.

 

[champs99and04]

It was only an "inadvertent violation", though. What a joke.

 

[CTBasketball]

Wow. Just wow.

 

[Zionn]

In other news....Facey to face firing squad.

 

[Kitaman]

Suspended for thirty minutes. Literally.

20 minutes would have been more harsh.

 

[UCHuskies08]

What if John Football were on the UConn men's basketball team?

 

[intlzncster]

Thought about posting this when it first popped up, but just couldn't bring myself to. smh

 

[phillionaire]

"Ow, my wrist"- Johnny Football

 

[progrocks]

Now everyone knows not to sell their autograph

 

[babysheep]

Ryan BoatWright will be suspended for 6 games for this

 

[61cygni]

So if they're blowing someone out in the first half of a game he should just sell some autographs at halftime.

 

[Kitaman]

Now everyone knows not to sell their autograph

..............publicly.

 

[TheRogers]

Suspended for thirty minutes. Literally.

You have to be fair and disclose everything. Emmert did draw THREE big frowny faces after he signed the penalty into effect.

 

[intlzncster]

Actually, didn't this prove that it's no big deal, outside of a lot of blown smoke? Isn't that the message here?

 

[jibsey]

There's something that's bothering me here. Johnny Football signed over 4000 times, and at a rate of 8 a minute (which is high over an extended time) that's 500 minutes or 8 hours of signing minimum. So he did this for free for some memorabilia company because he's a nice guy, salt of the earth for no money? He probably has the cash buried in his back yard, but even though I think it's wrong for the NCAA to make money off him, this whole thing stinks. They are looking to protect some big money matchups this year and A&M somehow intimidated them which I actually admire. We need to hire their lawyers for UCONN because they know how to get stuff done unlike UCONN who seems to like taking it up the.....

 

[Dogdeacon]

The NCAA likely increased the eyeballs and revenue for that game by suspending him for a half, makes for more drama. Its a farce, but he's untouchable and if they went after him they are ultimately undermining their own system. You can't exploit your own earning power... THATS OURS... for the next 12 games!
