Colt McCoy pops the question

DanOregon said:
That's got to be a secondary violation right?

On the last play of his college career, Baylor quarterback J.J. Joe took a knee and pointed at the message board. Displayed thereon was a similar message to his girlfriend. I don't remember hearing anything about a violation for that, and it happened in-game, when he was definitely still a student-athlete.

And....for what it's worth, Joe did not make himself available to the media after the game.

was wondering the same

Don't see how it is, especially if he's no longer attending class.
McCoy's eligibility is up. As far as the NCAA is concerned he's no longer a student-athlete, right?

I believe that is correct.

I think the NCAA has cracked down on using the scoreboard in recruiting (although I could be wrong). I think it's on the list of things, such as having jerseys with the recruit's name on it, plus the lobster dinners that have been banned.
 
Of course, the big question is how many of McCoy's former teammates (heck, guys in general) will want to wring his neck. I would think the bar on marriage proposals inthat part of the country has been raised a bit and some girls will expect the same, if not more, when their turn comes up.

Thank God I'm just a looser with women who has never had to worry about such things.

McCoy is just hoping something doesn't go limp and dead three minutes into his honeymoon.
And then the untested freshman will come in and be overmatched.

J.J. rarely did.
