Death penalty his senior year for $1350 and Gurley gets 4 games for over $3000. NCAA IS FREAKING JOKE and we are always the butt of the jokes. Every SEC school has received lighter suspensions, fines whatever than we have over the years. Pretty sick of it and why does our administration not challenge these things more?

Too bad things won't change. The NCAA is completely inept.

Florida State takes the cake though. Who knew you could shoot windows of buildings on campus with a pellet rifle, rape a girl, shoplift, scream obscene things in the student union, and get paid to autograph a bunch of stuff and only miss one game.

Until Jimmy Cheek and Dave Hart stand up to the NCAA the way other universities have we will continue to be treated unfairly.

You mean half a game.....until the public outcry made them change it to 1 game.

Was Mo Couch suspended the entire year by the NCAA, or did UT suspend him in an attempt to avoid possible violations? BTW...recall that DJ Fluker received 10s of thousands of dollars at 'Bama during that same time, but nothing happened to 'Bama.

Of course not, it's Alabama. Little Nicky's boyfriend is a big NCAA mucky muck.

Also, didn't Johnny Football only miss the 1st half vs. Rice for autograph payments? Only thing consistent with the NCAA is inconsistency.

Couch was also getting money from agents and financial advisers through a third party, not from signing memorabilia.

Gurley's (and the others you're referencing) came from getting paid for signing memorabilia, etc.


You're kind of just comparing two different rules/situations here only because they each have a dollar amount.

I think it was by UT.

Following the release of a Yahoo! Sports report the week before Tennessee's trip to Oregon in mid-September implicated Couch's acceptance of impermissible extra benefits, he was indefinitely suspended while his eligibility remained unresolved. In November, Couch was ruled permanently ineligible for the final four games of his career.

It sounds like the NCAA didn't rule on the matter until November.

edit: Yep, the initial suspension was by UT.

''As of right now, the situation with Mo Couch is we've declared him ineligible for this game,'' Jones said Thursday during his weekly interview with Nashville radio station 104.5. ''Right now our compliance group is currently in the process of working through all the details and logistics of the situation. That's all we kind of know right now, but as of right now moving forward, he will not make the trip to Oregon.''

The public outcry over the Ray Rice incident, at that.

The Ravens cutting Rice and the NFL suspending him indefinitely following the public release of the elevator tape and the public's reaction was pretty much what made them change their mind the Friday before and make it a full game's suspension.

(And that all was only about the some sexist comments / obscenities.)

But there really wasn't much public outcry regarding Winston, though.

Money. Big money. Our players don't warrant that level of looking the other way. Not because they aren't good but merely because they aren't winning.

No. Clinton-Dix was a completely separate issue. Mo Couch was the only current player involved at any of the schools.

Moral of the stories kids is know your loopholes. Sign stuff for relatives and let them sell them. Problem solved. If you are dumb enough to take cash straight up from a manager then you are a screwed for what ultimately is a debate in semantics.

I've have thought of this during all of the current turmoil. Can anyone explain the difference between them? Why is our guy out the entire year and the others get lighter suspensions for taking more money, and apparently over a longer period of time, i.e. Gurley. Couch had a family to try and support unlike any of the other players that have had the same issue in the last few years, which is much more understandable, although still illegal. It also came from someone that was associated with Bama if I remember correctly...Wtf?


Edit: I'm late to the party. Thanks for some explanation.
