Come on. Give the kid a break. He just had some free time before the Clemson game when he found out he wouldn't be playing. Just decided to sign a few things as part of his "We Gonna Do it Big" community outreach program to benefit Jameis' favorite charity: Himself.

With all that cash, there's no excuse for him not paying for his food in Publix.

I'll be honest: between JFF's mess last year and now Gurley and Winston being caught up in the autograph craze, it makes me uneasy. Hate to see one of our guys show up in a story like this.

Well, I've learned to never say never, but a quick glance on eBay shows 238 signed items from Winston, 188 for Todd Gurley, while TJ has 85, Amari has 79, D Henry has 57, Blake has 23. For comparison - AJ, who has been a pro for 9 months, has 212 listings.

Here's where things get really interesting. Gurley has 688(!) signed items are on completed listings on eBay in the last 30 days. Winston has 560, 129 for TJ, 116 for Amari, 135 for D Henry.

The number of Winston and Gurley stuff out there is staggering compared to anybody else I saw in CFB.

Tweet from @darrenrovell:

"Update: James Spence Authentication has authenticated MORE THAN 900 Winston signatures, including more than 400 signed jersey #'s."

I believe Rovell is the ESPN guy that broke the Gurley story.

Winston's problem is in the details of the rule. He doesn't have to be paid to be in violation - all he had to do is sign the autographs for a person who intended to profit from them. In other words, you can't sign for free if you know that a person intends to immediately sell those items for profit.

It is clear that these were not individual items signed for separate individuals because of the way that they were authenticated (in contiguous blocks, with exactly the same merchandise signed using the same marker). Not sure how Winston gets out of this - lots more evidence here than they had for Manziel. But with today's NCAA, you never know.

I don't think the FSU coaching staff will suspend him. Theyre all in. The NCAA is useless.

Very insightful post.

How bad does Fisher look for letting Winston play last week while Richt suspended Gurley? I wouldn't be surprised if FSU has to forfeit their win against Syracuse.

You know it's bad when Mark Richt is being held as an example of how to discipline your players.

If I were running things at GA, I'd tell the NCAA that it is time to enforce their rules equitably of buzz off - and accompany that with a threat to sue if they do otherwise.

I think it is pretty obvious with the repeated infractions and careless attitude of Jameis that FSU/ Fisher is as much to blame as this young kid. Everything is no big deal and football is more important than the people Jameis continues to injure. The Jameis Winston era will end up costing FSU more than they can ever gain

this, IMO, is 100% the NCAA's fault

They could have nipped this in the bud last year with Manziel, they chose to fold instead. This sent a signal to the guys like Gurley and Jameis that they could get away with it too. I am sure the autograph sellers are saying "Don't worry about it, JF got off and the NCAA had video of him doing it, take the money you'll be fine." I just hope our guys are smart enough to stay clear, though news on Frietag has me concerned about their smarts

Exactly. Racist too.
