    If there is a simple and legal explanation, then I don't understand why the family isn't out in front of this. Such as we checked with compliance and Johnny was signing for the Cure for Cancer Foundation and all proceeds went to said foundation. He or any family member received any compensation for the autographs it all went to Cure for Cancer Foundation.

    I'm sorry but after his dad complained that JFF was not getting any money and TAMU was getting all the money for his fame this smells.

    Also, his family is well off, he drives a new mercedes benz, his dad pays for him to go anywhere he wants, NBA finals, vacations in Mexico, etc. Why would they need to break the rules to get some bucks. Did they learn nothing from the Terrelle Pryor episode at Ohio State? I might cut him some slack if his mother was scrubbing floors at the hospital and his dad was in prison and stuff, but his parents are well off and nobody needs the money.

    Terry, I agree that there is no excuse if the reports are correct. Neither he, nor his family need the money. If he made this move, then he is not college material in the first place. "Can't fix stupid". However, let's let this play out and throw our barbs at a known target if there is one at which to throw.

    If he is guilty, it will come out.

    Things are not looking good for the Aggies right now.
