Re: Johnny Manziel investigated by NCAA

If this is true, will they take Bama's 2012 BCSC away from them, since this happened in Miami?

Now that's Funny:smile:

However if this was 1999 you might be on to something :conf2:

Re: Johnny Manziel investigated by NCAA

Did you read the previous OTL report on Johnny? They made a couple of interesting points. One was that his parents didn't approve of some of his behavior, and the conclusion I reached would be that they would avoid funding certain things. Furthermore, it said that they bought him a Mercedes he wanted to "keep him from doing something stupid to get it".

Well, it sure sounds like he did something stupid, presumably to get something else...

Yeah, I read/watched it. I don't pretend to know this kid, but he appears to have forgotten that he owes a lot of his success to his team mates. He continues to let them down, day after day. His arrogance is galling.

You are dead on, his team mates helped him get to his level. There will come a time when his team mates say enough is enough and instead of making that easy block, they may ole' their man. He has been nothing but a major distraction for the team the whole off season. I just don't know how anybody on that team could be happy about anything he has done this summer and I am willing to bet that they just say all the right things in front of the media. Behind closed doors though, these kids probably aren't happy at all.

Re: Johnny Manziel investigated by NCAA

It's sad watching all this happen to a really good QB, I hope we get to play again, so we can right that wrong after he beat us last year, but, I'm soooooo grateful all this drama is happening to other schools..Thank you Coach Saban for bringing a steady dose of drama free (for the most part) stability to our football program..

So all Deliverence Boy has to do is say I took nothing & I know nothing about anyone else taking money. I was just doing a favor for a friend. Unless someone has a pic of JF receiving cash this is just another ESPN story.

"Deliverence Boy" -- about the only thing that can be verified in this story!!!

Yeah, I have a feeling that in the depths of summer camp/two a days, some doubts will be creeping into the heads of some of the not Johnny football aggies

I don't blame them one iota, as a matter of fact, if I was A&M's AD, as soon as I was told of the situation..That firm would've been my 1st phone call, as of matter of fact, they would be #1 on my speed dial..They're the best in the business at what they do..The sCam situation proved that without doubt..

Re: Johnny Manziel investigated by NCAA

Since he was hired as a "personal assistant" but has allegedly asked multiple brokers for $$$ in exchange for JM autographs (supposedly on his behalf), does "uncle Nate" fit the description of an agent?

Nate Finch doesn't work for money, he just is Johnny's errand boy/friend. As crazy as it sounds, Nates family is worth far more than Manziels. He's just along for the ride and is an idiot.

LOL..He does look like that "Deliverance Boy"..

The moral framwork of this whole thing is insane.

Re: Johnny Manziel investigated by NCAA

Wingman, I'm not referencing who pays Nate, although I'm sure he doesn't work for free.
I'm merely pointing out it that in the eyes of the NCAA, the "personal assistant" gig could be viewed as an agent working on behalf of JM, as it's been alleged that Nate is/was shopping JM signings to multiple autograph brokers going back to last season and the OTL article stated that everything goes through Finch now...


“ … an agent is any individual who, directly or indirectly, represents or attempts to represent an individual for the purpose of marketing his or her athletics ability or reputation for financial gain …”


There is always the chance that Nate becomes the fall-guy and JM can say he didn't know, but I believe the NCAA has made changes and broadened the rule to since the Cam Newton fiasco.
Maybe someone else can weigh in on those changes and how that might apply here.

Having another college "kid" unschooled in NCAA matters handling your business, pr, etc as a potential future NFL'r, is a huge risk and quite frankly, is crazy, imho.

Oh, I agree with you. It's beyond crazy, it's downright idiotic.

Re: Johnny Manziel investigated by NCAA

I think most are missing the point on this whole Manziel thing.. Sure the NCAA will most likely do nothing and things will go on as planned. But who in there right mind thinks this kids is going to make it another 3.5 weeks without just emploding? He is the poster child for About to go off the deep end!

I honestly look for things to get even worse and him wind up in jail before the season even starts. I guess we will see in time what happens.

Got my popcorn

Re: Johnny Manziel investigated by NCAA

I don't see him imploding. He'll have a good season, they'll lose some game but to me that expected.
