NCAA Tyranny

" While the NCAA investigates a report that Johnny Manziel accepted a "five-figure flat fee" with an autograph broker for signing memorabilia, ESPN reported another broker paid Manziel cash for signing approximately 300 mini and regular-sized helmets on Jan. 11."

I am sick and tired of the NCAA and its archaic rules which penalizes players for being business savvy. The latest fiasco with Johnny Manziel is totally ridiculous. They NCAA is "investigating" him for what, but selling autographs. This is beyond preposterous, and this nonsense needs to stop. If a player wants to sell autographs, memorabilia, or anything else affiliated with them, all power to them. I don't know why the NCAA would want to have such a heavy hand with these type of things, perhaps it is just the sick human ambition for power. If you recall, a couple of years ago there was a similar "scandal" from Ohio State where the star quarterback, Terrelle Pryor, sold some jerseys for money to get tattoos. He was later ostracized, suspended, and the head coach was fired because of it. This type of over authoritarian behavior demonstrated by the NCAA is anachronistic to the utmost extreme. Seriously, it is time we let these students make money off of their hard work. The NCAA needs to be disbanded or needs some type of reform, period. It is time the NCAA changes or goes!
