Tired of bookselling? Try football jewelry...

Is there no shame?

Six months after Texas won its first national championship in football after nearly four decades, a Longhorn championship ring is up for sale on eBay.

By Wednesday afternoon, bidding stood at $4,495.00.

By contrast, a popular collectors book on the 2005 Texas football season is selling on Amazon for about $2. Those dag-gone lowballers!!


Texas athletic officials said they don't know who is selling the ring. Spokesman Nick Voinis said, "It's disappointing. It's something you should be honored to receive. Every other player is taking pride in theirs."

NCAA players are prohibited from selling championship rings, but there's not much to stop players from doing it. The school bought 200 rings for its players, coaches and staff.
