Ohter than that you made yourself look like a complete idiot on the internet in front of hundreds of posters and guest alike. Thank you, the end!

Return to sender: UT national championship ring no longer on the market
After bids reach $10,000, UT ring lifted from eBay auction
By Suzanne Halliburton

AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF


Thursday, May 25, 2006

The mystery involving the potential sale of a coveted University of Texas national championship ring remained unsolved late Wednesday.

In fact, the ring's seller on eBay twice took the Rose Bowl ring off the auction market, first claiming it was improperly listed before finally saying the item was no longer available. By that time, bids had reached more than $10,000 on the ring, which had a wholesale price tag of $350.




Still, the Texas athletic department wanted to know the identity of the player who gave up his ring, which the team earned Jan. 4 by beating Southern California 41-38 in the Rose Bowl.

In fact, athletic department officials even talked about buying the ring to take it off the market.

"We thought about it, but we have other ways to find out who this is," said Texas associate athletic director Nick Voinis. "There are ways to find out."

At issue is whether the player is still on the roster — because as of July, 2003, the selling of an athletic award by a student athlete is forbidden by the NCAA, something which could result in suspensions.

The rule could be named for the Georgia football team, because it was passed after nine Bulldogs sold their Southeastern Conference rings after the 2002 season. The nine players were declared ineligible, then reinstated because the NCAA had no rule on the sale of championship items.

At about the same time, Florida State investigated allegations of players selling rings and other team souvenirs to a business that specialized in sports memorabilia.

The NCAA then passed a rule that a player would be penalized if he or she sold an item. The number of games depended on the wholesale cost of the award. If the item cost between $300 and $500, a player would be suspended for one game and required to repay the cost of the award.

There are no rules precluding former players from selling their rings. They can list them on auction sites like eBay or sell them to jewelry brokers. Rarely is the identity of a player revealed in these auctions. Only the buyer and seller know.

On Wednesday, a seller identified as "TravisTrader" was selling a 1999 Texas Cotton Bowl ring. He was asking for an initial bid of $4,495 for a ring belonging to an unidentified player. In an e-mail to the American-Statesman, he said he had tried to sell the ring in previous auctions, but never received the right price.

A Holiday Bowl ring from 2003 also had been for sale on eBay earlier this month. Again, the broker did not receive the minimum bid of $3,999.99. The broker, identified as championship_sports_rings, has sold rings representing championships or bowl rings originally owned by players from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Miami, Florida State, Auburn, Michigan, Ohio State, Clemson, USC and Georgia Tech.

There was an active auction Wednesday for a 1997 Nebraska national football championship ring carrying a minimum price of $2,999.99. Also, there was bidding for a 1994 Arkansas basketball national championship ring that came with other souvenirs. The bidding was up to $11,500.

The UT compliance office monitors Internet auction sites every day. However, Voinis said this is the first case the office is aware of in which a Longhorn has sold a national championship ring.

2 - Dude...having the Chief as a "mentor" isn't saying much

3 - So "your scout" says bust...but 99% of the NFL scouts say he won't be a bust. :doh:

My uncle's brother is a scout, and all his scout friends know VY won't be a bust.

I don't know if they can suspend the player if he has eligibility left. The ring was listed for sale but was removed and not sold.

I'm sure 100% of the statistics said that Tom Brady would never start an NFL game or Matt Hasselbach.

Find me a quote from an NFL scout/analyst (that can be verified by us on here) where it was said that he WILL be a bust!

Looks like he will own the ring a little longer, it didn't sell:(

More like you find me the guaranteed verifiable fact that states that 99 percent of scouts say he'll be great in the nfl since your the one making up stats.

There are days I think that UT/A&M makes Snyder-Sweetwater look like no rivalry at all.

So based on the comparison, I'm guessing that Snyder and Sweetwater aren't rivals.

You dont read do you? i read the link and no where on it does it say that every freakin pro scout thinks that VY will be great. It has a report about him and how someone evauluated him but just because one report speaks of him well does not mean that 99% of scout think hes good, all you did was make up a stat that was far from the truth. That was my point and you still havent defended yours.

[cheatchu]

Yes VY is a good athlete, but will he be a great NFL QB....No, if you think otherwise look at his throwing motion, if you still dont agree then your just in denial

Evidently you take things WAY too seriously and read way to literally. 99% is a number that translates to "pretty much every scout" said that. I didn't say that every scout did. It wasn't a statistic. If it was a statistic, I would have 1) put it in quotations and 2) provided you with the source information of it. Just because you decided that it was a statistic that I was giving doesn't make it one.

Don't take things so serious...you'll never get out alive!

Didn't V.Y have the highest % of pass completions? Not sure, but I think he was at the top or close to it. Something to think about.

[Old Tiger]

The guy is 6'5" throwing from that motion so one would think that it was be the same of a 6'1 QB throwing w/ a proper motion:confused:

So if throwing motion decides it, I guess Brett Farve and his shot put feet not planted and uses almost all arm means he is not a HOF....

Or what about Bernie Kosar and his sidewinder delievery, yea he never was good.

Dont forget the great Billy Kilmer..he produced more ducks than Daisy and Donald Duck on Viagra, but he still won games and out up numbers.

Drew Bledsoe throws low

Joe Montana had no arm strength

Dan Marino had a hitch in his delievery

Kenny Stabler never threw the same way twice.

Terry Bradshaw had to long of a motion.

OH and some QB's who coming out of college who had GREAT mechanics....

Ryan Leaf and Jeff George..Both rated very high in mechanics, and man they had a GREAT career.


My point is, you can not look at ONE thing when it comes to an NFL QB, it is a total package.
