Disagree with the NCAA and with Ohio St players

Recently 5 Ohio St. Players, including starting QB Terrell Pryor, were brought up on charges for selling items given to them by the university. The resulting punishment by the NCAA is suspension for the first 5 games of next year's season. However, they can play in this year's Sugar Bowl.  Agree or Disagree?

Specifically, the players sold such items as jersey's, cleats, other uniform parts, Big Ten championship rings, bowl game awards, etc...  Money ranged up to $1,000 and even a trade for free tattoos.  As a result, the NCAA decided to punish for these actions.

Here's some issues with this:

1. Follow the $....if the offenses are so bad then why does the NCAA allow them to play in this year's Sugar Bowl? Why? Because these are 5 starters, a QB, running back, receiver, linebacker. Bowl Games are huge $ for the NCAA and the university playing. Out of the first 5 games next year for OSU, the toughest is an away game at Miami.    The other include such names a Akron and Toledo.

2. What a slap in the face if you're a coach! Players selling their Big Ten championship rings....wow....again, it's clear the games mean more to the coaches than to the players.  The rumors have it that Terell Pryor is a primadonna and Jim Tressel really won't be sad to se him go.

3. The players said they didn't know they couldn't sell these items.  I sort of believe this, but with all the things the NCAA does how can you not suspect you'll get in trouble for selling jerseys and bowl game awards.  The other argument is that these items were given to the players so why shouldn't they be allowed to sell? They are possessions of the player.....

4. Cam Newton is cleared by the NCAA even though his dad admits he tried to extort $150,000 out of Miss. St. in order to get his son.  Of course Cam "claims" he had no idea what his dad did.  Surrreeeeeeeee....i believe he and his dad neeeeever discussed this. And Cam claims he and his dad are very close....
