2015 NCAA football discussion thread

I have not heard about the jersey auction, but I wonder if it being for charity makes it a non violation of the rules versus if he sold it for personal profit.
 
Can't believe Bama is losing to Arkansas 7-3 3rd q.

The same Arkansas that couldn't beat Toledo, Texas A&M or Texas Tech.

Is that a bad thing? Toledo and A&M are undefeated and ranked, tech has two losses to top five teams.

As is, I was a little frustrated at the slow start at scoring. Bama was dominating that game in every measurable category. I had no doubts they would eventually wear them down and punch it in, but it took longer than I preferred.

Next weekend will be a huge week for college football. Cant wait!

My guess would be the boosters.
which boosters?

A Miss St. booster did say that he a text from Cecil Newton where he asked for $180,000 and showed a payment plan to that effect. Unfortunately the text was on a cell phone that was "damaged" and so the text was "unrecoverable".

Ergo, no proof about Newton's father (not Cam) asking for money.
And no proof that he asked for money from Auburn, and not even any name's of boosters that might have paid it.

So, while Daddy Newton might have gotten money for Cam to go to Auburn, there's no proof, hence no punishments.
 
Miami/FSU trailer trash brawl. Miami may have lost the game, but the drunk FSU frat boys took an ass whipping in their own back yard here.

Idiots (both sides)


 
Florida QB Will Grier has been suspended for the season for NCAA violations. Grier tested positive for performance enhancing drugs.

Hmmm, imagine that ...
I bet they didn't try very hard.
 
I agree that the NCAA is generally a cluster on enforcement, but in this situation I do not see any issue at all.

No, it shows that the NCAA changed the rules for him.

They said he specifically was OK to do this because of the charity ... didn't say if anyone else could do it.
But apparently they have guidelines in place for charitable causes. If that is so, I do not see how that is changing anything for a certain player.

But the organization does have rules allowing college athletes to use their likeness for charitable causes
