Wouldn't being duped into selling your jersey to an "agent" count as "mitigating factors?" I guess I am not following your logic, seeing how Dareus went to Miami twice and owed over $700 more dollars than AJ.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-20608444938282548572010-09-09T17:40:43.088-04:002010-09-09T17:40:43.088-04:00One of the funniest new stories I've ever read...One of the funniest new stories I've ever read regarding a rival:<br /><br />http://www.wrcbtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=13122426<br /><br />One has to ponder why Dooley is observing his team's shower habits.ActuaryDawgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-59807514736615449392010-09-09T16:43:01.985-04:002010-09-09T16:43:01.985-04:00Seth, can you please stop calling him an agent?

They could easily hold the kids out for their suspensions and say they violated some unspecified rule. <br /><br />The fact that the agents go unpunished and even their identities go unrevealed is simply unimaginable to me. You and the rest of the media should be dumping salt on these slugs. Maybe the serpentine tempters would feel a little deterrence if there were SOME possible punishment or at least a possibility that their utter lack of scruples will be revealed to the public. Right now, it's open season, and I can't understand how the NCAA, the NFL, and perhaps worst of all, the media can let this go on without telling us their names.The Generalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-71558219918100711502010-09-09T14:10:04.796-04:002010-09-09T14:10:04.796-04:00Seth,

I believe they will drop it back to 2 games because I haven't read ANYONE defending the 4 games.

That is is somehow unfair for the college player not to get a financial return from proceeds the college makes because he has made some contribution.<br /><br />Horse manure. There is no injustice and there never has been. Schools have made money (or at least tried) on football since the 1800's. This so-called 'injustice' exists primarily in the postmodern mindset of media types and those they influence.<br /><br />Players work hard to contribute, but they also enjoy playing football and the intangible benefits that come along with it. The rules allow for players like A.J.Green to receive tangible benefits in the neighborhood of $150,000 to $250,000 already, and still preserve amateurism. And a college degree worth a lot more than that to boot.<br /><br />There is no injustice. Only flawed, postmodern intellectualism.<br /><br />A.J.Green is getting what he deserves. And his coaches, teammates, and the rest of us must help him pay. That's the way it should be. The integrity of the game must be preserved at any cost.<br />~~~IveyLeaguernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-41243246187399453022010-09-09T12:22:35.574-04:002010-09-09T12:22:35.574-04:00Seth,

Are we expecting a shoe to also drop on the Gamecocks before game time? And, if so, what are the likely scenarios there? As I understand it, anywhere from 3 to 8 starters may be suspended.

Still, this isn't an excuse; the rules governing that players can't make money from NCAA football are by no means new. It's the same reason that there are no player names in the NCAA games every year. He knew better, regardless of whether it was an agent or not.PantherDawgnoreply@blogger.com
