    Yeah this bar fight/suspension happened before last season. Apparently coach helped with the appeal otherwise he would have transferred. However, I think it's safe to say Johnny Football has some "issues" if I were an NFL club I'd PASS on him as he doesn't appear to be mature enough to lead your team in shall we say the "appropriate" way.

    Not sure he has "issues" just being Hollywood too much.

    My thoughts exactly. Between the bar fight, the whole Twitter/transfer crap, all the acting up here and there, he may have won the Heisman as a Freshman, he made ultimately be a hell of a QB in college, but I'm passing on him in the NFL draft. Just way too many potential maturity issues.

    NCAA loses. Again.

    Well, not really, since the NCAA gets lots of money, so it is their best interest to look the other way and be out of touch with reality.

    A single scholarship. Yeah, like that amounts to anything painful for the program.

    Most likely they're gonna get a Bowl Ban for a year as well. Or, at least, that's what it sounds like.

    Talk about a slap on the wrist.

    That's like telling your unruly teenager to be home by 2am instead of 4am.

    Don't see any postseason ban: http://espn.go.com/college-football/...es-scholarship

    Oregon will not be banned from the postseason despite major recruiting violations committed under former coach Chip Kelly.

    Don't worry guys O'bannon et al. is going to destroy the NCAA.

    Then it will basically be the wild wild west where schools can pay recruits cash; blow and strippers/prostitutes to come to their school. Recruits will then make their recruiting demands to schools and the highest bidder will win.

    The NCAA certainly has its flaws but you better be careful what you wish for you just might get it. Just sayin'

    If college football separated itself from this bullshit of "student" athletes and just became a semi-pro league with college affiliates, none of the above would be an issue. They do it already, why not just stop being hush hush about it?

    Agreed. It probably happens more than even I think it does. However, there are consequences for those actions when/if caught.

    They do it "hush hush" because a substantial % of its fan base (CLW, SC, etc...) will stop watching/buying/supporting "college athletics" the second it becomes legal.

    I'll simply do something else with my time. If I wanted to watch pros, I'd watch the pro leagues. There is a reason more people watch NCAA basketball than the NBADL or College Baseball over the Minor Leagues. Many people prefer to watch legit student athletes compete to the best of their ability at the school of their choice.

    Pfft, I'm already ready to give up on college athletics. You have basketball being ruined by this one and done bullshit and you have football being ruined by schools getting away with murder while other schools follow the rules legitimately and get destroyed on the football field because of it.

    It's pretty disgusting either way you look at it.

    I agree there needs to be MASSIVE reform. I disagree with Jay Bilas et al. seemingly cheering on the demise of the NCAA. Better to reform the Devil you know than to have utter chaos when it implodes in this case.
