Pretty succinct article in Deadspin. Keep in mind that the NCAA doesn't need to have "proof". Most media is not reporting that fact. The aTm CHANCELLOR basically answering "I just know." in reply to whether he has any evidence exonerating JFF is not really convincing.

I am fine with and like the support of an innocent player.

But are people really trying to defend getting paid for autographs while in school?

You must be kidding, that is the same as paying them out right uncapped.

What is the setup if you come to school here you will get $50,000 - $1,000,000 for your autographs each year of your eligibility. Yeah that would work well.

He originally stated in the letter that it was his opinion. And he is stating in the interview that he came about his opinion because he has been in direct contact with the NCAA, which I would think is the only governing body that has to be convinced?

Yeah, they are the only body that I know of. And who knows--the kid may be totally in the clear. It just strikes me as strange that the Chancellor came out with that letter. I can see it maybe coming from the AD, but the Chancellor??

Meh.. Aggy being Aggy

I have to wonder if Sharp has seen enough evidence to know Johnny Autograph didnt do it, why doesnt he come out with what that evidence is? Sharp could put an end to the whole damn thing if he did Instead he decides to attack the writer and sources personal history. Why???

For the record ESPN's story didnt say Johnny Autograph was guilty, as Sharp alledged, it reported the existence of an NCAA investigation and the allegations behind the investigation. Rovell's story did say Johnny did it, only that he was accused of it.

Sharp is sneaky here because he is slamming ESPN et. al. for using evidence he believes to be sketchy, but claims the high ground based on evidence nobody has seen. Pot, Kettle calling, uh you're black..
