Why are people rating this 5 stars? I know the franchise wasn't the best it could be, but at least we had something coming every year.

You're talking about a very small number of players. So small that it's pointless. Most college freshmen have a hard enough time handling the college level.

Oh so you're saying Manziel should be completely selfish? Remember, Manziel wasnt the only player making money for A&M. And you say that like A&M has never done anything for Manziel, which we both know, isnt true.

Athletic departments have a hard enough time paying for sports. And you want them to pay players on top of that?

Any company can put a market value on one of their employees, it doesn't mean the employee somehow gets a certain % of profits back from the company.

You keep saying this and have no idea what you are talking about. Their right to go after tv money has already been included in the lawsuit against the NCAA and a judge has already ruled against the NCAA that filed a motion to dismiss because they contested they had no rights to tv money.

I can now confidently answer the question when asked "what moment in time would you go back and change if you could?"

I would make sure that Tyus Edney's layup vs Missouri in the '95 tournament would bounce off the rim and onto the floor.

i'm pretty sure manziel should care that his #2 jersey is making money, but he isnt getting any of it. that is not being selfish, that is getting what you deserve. im not saying athletic departments have to pay them, i will bet in 15 years there will be a development league.

if you really think about it, what has A&M really done for manziel? offer him a place to play? a free place to stay valued at maybe $500/month? some food? clothes?
