Do the majority of people really consider a replica jersey obsolete when the player leaves the team? I know I'm not one of them, so that possibly colors my perspective, but I still see a bunch of #7, 10, 13, 27, 28, 33, 36, 45 & 47 jerseys out there when I go to games or to the bar.

I don't, but why else would 28, 33 be found on the clearance rack? #2 is probably the safest jersey # to buy long term, yet I'm guessing it will find its way there 12 months from now (if not sooner :().

Obsolete is a bad word choice. Outdated is probably better. Some still love rocking a superstar's jersey from days gone by but most of those jerseys are also purchased during current stardom.

One thing there are no Pryor Jersey's

In 2009 there were, and I doubt many bought them for Bryant last year either.

I'd be very interested to hear how the #2 sells in september compared to previous years.
..he has a history of what 3 years in college football ...but there are OSU jerseys with a number 2 on it and they do have a History and a Legacy...MANY players have worn the scarlet and gray and represented the University proudly..

I agree, which is why those jerseys of non-amateur buckeye legends should be sold instead, but that's a less profitable business model.
only a few have tried to profit from it...if Tatgate hadn't happened I didn't see much support for AJ Green ...

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

It's crazy. In the fifteen years of tOSU being in bed with Nike, I had never seen a #33 jersey, until Lil Animal blows the fuck up. Sure other players have worn those numbers, and sure, some of the jersey numbers Nike puts out in a given year are repeats, but you're being ridiculous if you're implying that they just randomly choose numbers each year based on anything but which motherfucker taking the field for tOSU will they ride to a million bucks.

We had a big discussion (Josh and I if I recall - and Bill too) about the language you quote. I added the underlined part, and the short version is that there was no meeting of the minds as to Miss St. - as the Newton offer was not accepted, and there is (currently) no evidence of an Auburn offer or acceptance either. Had Cam enrolled after the Miss State offer I think acceptance could be found by ratification. That fact is not present in his enrolling at Auburn - again - at this time.

Well, that's fine as far as the SEC is concerned. Again, the important part, I think (and I'm not running thru the NCAA rule book to confirm this, or cite it) is that whatever happened between Cecil Newton and Mississippi State DID cause Auburn to declare Cam Newton ineligible

Now... that was, of course, a sham. But... it's also indicative of my point in the first instance - the sins of the father are supposed to be paid by the son in NCAA land. To the extent, then, that Mama Pryor bought a car from Kniffin, all TP has to do is say "I had no idea" and he should be "excused" just like Newton was. Albeit after a "sham" declaration of ineligibility, I guess.

The hypocricy to which I referred was not you yielding to it - or anything else - but the hypocrisy NCAA treatment of the facts. IOW, I was accusing them of hypocrisy, not you. You are possibly a sexual predator of small farm animals, and likely a counterfeiter of grocery coupons - but not a hypocrite.

Again, the board needs to remember that the investigation was done about Cam's eligibility status ONLY. His violating NCAA or SEC Rules in non-eligibility aspects is yet to be determined.

You would have a good point if you were right. But, since you're wrong, I think I need to remind you that soliciting money from Miss. State made Cam Newton ineligible at every school. You will no doubt recall that even Auburn was nice enough to declare Newton ineligible for a few hours before the NCAA reinstated him. They did this because Newton was .... wait for it...
ineligible because of the rules violation (even though it was still a violation between Cecil and Miss. St.)

And... the SEC has rules too:
From the SEC bylaws:
"If at any time before or after matriculation in a member institution a student-athlete or any member of his/her family receives or agrees to receive, directly or indirectly, any aid or assistance beyond or in addition to that permitted by the Bylaws of this Conference (except such aid or assistance as such student-athlete may receive from those persons on whom the student is naturally or legally dependent for support), such student- athlete shall be ineligible for competition in any intercollegiate sport within the Conference for the remainder of his/her college career."​
The point, of course, is not to say "Auburn's worse!" or "Why does everyone pick on OSU when the SEC Cheats!" And I know you're sensative to these issues on these threads. But, the fact is the "I had no idea" defense should work just fine for the Parental dealing with car dealers and I stand by my post. It's not me yielding to hypocrisy. Again, I'm not simply saying "The SEC Cheats! See here's proof" I'm saying, "[censored] you, NCAA - you have stupid rules, you enforce them selectively, and might as well be a goddamned roulette wheel. You sure as [censored] aren't a legitimate governing body" if anything in that regard.

I haven't read the two pages beyond this post yet, so please forgive me if someone has already addressed this.

One thing to keep in mind about the Cam Newton situation is that there is a difference between an eligibility issue for a player and a compliance issue for a school.

The ruling that allowed Cam Newton to play was an eligibility ruling - not a compliance ruling. The NCAA Compliance investigation is ongoing.

I mostly expect that once the Compliance investigation is completed that Auburn will vacate the 2010 season. But that is a completely separate issue from the ruling that allowed him to play.

Right. And he was ineligible because of Cecil Newton's transgressions. He was reinstated because the NCAA determined "I had no idea" was enough. It's beyond the scope of the simple point I was trying to make, but it bears emphasis that Auburn should have put Newton on the pine as soon as they learned there was reason to believe he was ineligible. I know why they didn't, and frankly if I was an Auburn fan I would probably have a different analysis than the one I currently espouse, but the real point to be made here is that the NCAA is a fucking joke. On that, I think we're agreed, so let's move on. :biggrin:

I'm with you on that. With as much as Ohio State is in the news for tatgate and Tressel, it is easy to forget the NCAA is still looking at Auburn.
