Johnny Manziel's NCAA Drama

Johnny "Football" Manziel, last years play making Heisman winner last season. This summer after his emergence into the world or collegiate football he has been in some real trouble trying to handle the spotlight of becoming a household name. It started earlier this summer at the Peyton Manning passing camp. This camp was a place where some of the best quarterbacks in college football get to showcase their skills, and enhance them with Peyton Manning. This camp was a huge success for Manziel. That was until the last day of camp which he didn't attend. According to his roommate at the camp, A.J. McCarron,the starting quarterback for Alabama Manziel was hungover the night and after being attempted to be woken up multiple times wouldn't wake up. He left the camp later that day. Then about a month ago he went to a frat party for Texas University. This was a huge controversy because he attends Texas A&M and they are huge rivals. At this party he was spotted getting drunk and he was kicked out of the party. Then the newest chapter to the tale of Johnny "Football" that came out very recently. He is now no longer in trouble with the media alone, he now faces penalties for accepting money for autographs. It has been reported that he has received up to 7,500 dollars from this. It is against NCAA student athlete Bylaw 12.5.2.1 which prohibits "accepting money for promoting or advertising the commercial sale of a product or service". Because of this violation he is now in college football limbo. If enough evidence is found against him which it might, Manziel could be judged as ineligible by the NCAA and may not be able to play at all this season. The only way to find out if he will is to continue to follow this story. This is Anthony out.
