2014-2015 College Football Thread: A New Era Begins..

Other than doing something criminal, I don't care about NCAA infractions.

If a kid did get money for autographs, good for him. Doesn't make me think less of him.

Except the NCAA has rules against those sort of things. If you don't like the rules change them. Until then, obey them.

I get there is rules for it and if he gets suspended that's fine. I just don't care much about it as it relates to the player.

It absolutely relates to the player because they know better.

I have my doubts they are educated enough to know better. They are athletes after all.

He sold the autographs so he can buy some crab legs

That's a lot of trouble to go to for crab legs. It's a lot easier to just walk out of a grocery store with them and then pretend you forgot to pay and not get in any notable trouble.

But is it easier if the chosen way out of the store is to walk down literally every aisle in the store exactly once, like some weird traveling salesman logic puzzle? (http://www.cbssports.com/collegefoo...o-james-winston-leaving-publix-with-crab-legs)

IIRC every athlete has to attend a compliance lecture. FBS schools have huge staffs devoted just to compliance.

I don't think ignorance can't be pleaded here.

I think even eNeMa U's athletes probably have a few more brain cells than your average SEC football player.

Surely you're not including the kickers, are you?

If he didn't include the kickers, he wouldn't think it, he would know it.

Brandon gone?

Sources told ESPN's Brett McMurphy that someone on Michigan's behalf has contacted three possible candidates to replace Brandon to gauge their interest in the job.

Rumor has it that's the plan, and the reason Hoke still has a job; need the new hire to hire the new coach.
