Exactly.
This is a UC Website....
So why is there a thread in the UC Football forum about OSU?
All I am doing is pointing out how the NCAA is a crock and people want to jump down my throat calling me a UC hater.
If you dont want to hear about it then dont start threads about other schools. HAHA I mean pretty funny to me, when people go and cry about other fans posting on their sites when they are the ones who bring it up

UC Bashing?
I believe all my comments up until I was brutaly attacked had nothing to do with UC Football. I mean I was flat out attacked
Seriously though, my posts had everything to do with the NCAA's handling of collegiate athletes when people started calling me a UC Basher. Give it a rest. I did not graduate from UC. I am a UC Basketball fan and proud of it. Thats it

ready2go just isn't very bright. It's not your fault.
In fact, part of me agrees with your "general logic." See, I'm a Libertarian and my general view of society aligns more with your thinking: "it's your $hit, sell it!"
However this is too nearsighted to actually be a logical argument, nor would I argue the rule is stupid.
Herein lies the problem: what if these players sold each ring for $100,000.00 to say...Eddie George, or any other wealthy alumni or "booster." What's to stop them from selling them for $1,000,000.00? You see the problem? Essentially, players at Ohio State tell future recruits, etc., that there are very wealthy boosters that will give them hundreds of thousands of dollars for their gear if the player is one of the bright spots on the team.
It's a slippery slope and regulation is nearly impossible. So, while not the best rule, it has its place.
Rarely is anything perfect, so don't expect the rule to be perfect...just like we don't expect your infant logic to make perfect arguments.

BCA1 is right on this. I am down here at the Sugar Bowl and I was talking to a co-worker of mine who played for Tennessee years ago. He was telling me how they used to get 8 tickets a game and were allowed to sell them. Boosters would buy the tickets for whatever the players wanted and that was how they made extra money to get by. Back then they would get $500 or more per ticket to each game. Of course, the NCAA changed the rule to not allow players to do this anymore for just that reason. What's to stop a player from selling their tickets or memorabilia for astronomical prices to wealthy boosters? You can't allow selling of some things and not others when it all relates to the University and your status as a football player.
You have to earn the awards to sell them. There lies my problem. If Pryor goes out and wins the golden pants award vs Michigan. He earned it. Therefor he should be allowed to sell it. Its the player where the value is, not necessarily the school. No one wants the 3rd string RB's ring from the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. There is no value in that.
Now the jersey selling is a seperate issue. That should be against NCAA violations. However I just wanted to point out that Businesses should not be allowed to sell collegiate player jerseys without that particular player receiving some kind of incentive.
I must say if they are able to sell anything in their posession for 1million...That would be a very smart business decision and Id venture to say any player would do that even if the NCAA suspends them....Dumb analogy
I'm very knowledgeable. Knowledgeable enough to know that if this happened to UC you all would see my point of view.
Except one major problem.....
UC players have no awards to sell

I guess they didn't win back to back Big East Championships and get rings to honor it. What dream world am I living in?

No one wants a CYO Championship ring and unfortunately they dont give out Rings for losing by 70 in BCS Bowls. Thats too bad for OHIO STATE too. Pryor would have made a killing.

So OSU didn't get rings when they lost that bad to Florida in the National Championship Game? Or LSU in the National Championship game? Those in glass houses really shouldn't throw stones. Congratulations on your lucky Sugar Bowl win Tuesday night. 1-9 against the SEC is an awesome record. Something to be proud of.
Ok. You're a little slow. Let me help you. I was actually making fun of Pryor. Although they didnt get blown out to Texas in the Fiest Bowl 2 years ago, they still lost and do not get rings for runners up.

Our soon to be Big East brethren stepping up to the plate and hitting a home run. I just hope they don't fall off a ton next year with having so many seniors this year.

I think even if next year is tough for them, recruiting just got a whole lot easier now that they're slated to be in a BCS conference. They'll be just fine.
