What time does practice start, tomorrow? Because this may be the longest night of the entire season.

Rich kid, rich family...he did not sign anything and get paid
You f'n idiots still haven't learned.
Kohl Stewart will never sign a multi million dollar MLB contract 'cause his family has money.
Johnny would never do anything for money, cause his family is rich.
Do you morons know how rich people get that way? Do you actually KNOW any rich families? Here's a hint...they don't build wealth by thinking, "hey, We've already got some money. Why pursue more?"
Dumb assess.

Folks, CHILL OUT.
I worked on staff before and am shocked its taken this long for 'NCAA' to come up considering all the attention.
He isn't stupid, absolutely doesn't need the money, but it makes for good ratings and 'news'.
Pull your head out and think for a second. Geez.
You should have expected this at some point.
Someone mentioned 'smelling tu' -- it wouldn't surprise me at all. We know what they are capable of. Anyone that whipped their ass in the 80s and 90s was investigated....OU, us, UH, SMU....
Relax for goodness sakes.
Gig'em.

I heard Johnny robbed a GAP and raped a monkey. No proof but I trust my sources. Will pass along to ESPN.

Sounds like bullcrap to me. What motive would a kid from a wealthy family have to earn a little money on the side at the risk of derailing his college football career? Let's see, play my cards right for another season and start earning millions upon millions of dollars...or...get $5,000 right now for some autographs.
Allegedly a 5 figure payout, not 4.
Also, you're a moron.

Two popular industry sayings...
"Don't worry about getting it right, just get it first."
"Don't let the facts get in the way of the story."

It's amazing how easy it is to be a "source".
This isn't court, it's the media. They need absolutely ZERO credibility or evidence to run a story.
Why is everyone so worried?!?!??

What makes me nervous is that this was before the **** storm he was getting for going to games/vacations/etc...so it was technically before he was under the microscope of public perception.
Agreed. If he did it, it makes sense it would be before all the stuff from this summer.
The BCS Champ. game was after the Cotton Bowl, he was already taking significant heat for the casino pictures, the pictures at the night club with the bottle of Dom, a Rockets game and a Cowboys game (I'm sure other things could be listed). He knew he was under high scrutiny and knew about issues with autographs - there was a thread on here started by a guy crying because Johnny wouldn't sign stuff for him after a practice. Would be very surprised if Johnny would sign for money.
Can't imagine someone sitting to sign 999 photos, do the math on how long that would take. I'd bet they're faked.

Front page of Houston Chronicle online now.
Big picture of JFF.
Chronicle just parroting ESPN.
Shesshhh- start the season already.

This isn't ESPN out to get us. This is an NCAA investigation they're reporting on, and it sounds like the NCAA at least has a legit reason for the investigation. It doesn't look good, but the question is going to be "what can they prove?"
If Johnny doesn't cooperate he can get suspended just for that. This is going to get messy; there's just no way around it.

ESPN's wall to wall negative coverage of Johnny in the last few weeks suddenly makes sense. Just laying the groundwork for their big hit piece on the eve of fall camp.
6:14p, 8/4/13
The chronicle's reporter is questioning the timing of the report as well as what would be necessary to prove such charges on twitter.

All I can say is hope this isn't true. Best case scenario it's a broker who is a badass signature forger who lied to cover up when called out on the sigs being sequentially numbered. Alternative best case is its the military dude that tricked JFF into signing autographs. Worst case, plead ignorance and have Paul cop to taking the money.

Just spoke on the phone with a friend of mine who is a national sports writer. We were discussing the Johnny 'dumb#%&' Manziel NCAA investigation. He is certain the allegations are not true. Johnny isnt going anywhere! We won't have to forfeit any games. No need for Showers to reenroll.

There is no 'I' in team. He has gone about putting his Coach in an impossible position for a long time, and his teammates as well. Scripted words from many athletes ring hollow when crap they do continues to push the envelope. And ESPN sucks.

What was that about the NCAA looking through his phone? Gotta be kidding.
ESPN is crafting a story. They want to see JFF fail so they can have stories and make a stupid 30 for 30 on him. They are trying to get into his head, mess with his mind and get him distracted so that he loses focus on the field.
I hope this isn't true and until I see proof then I won't pass judgment.

It would take less than an hour. Very imaginable.

If true he ruined himself for the NFL... Look how good Terrerl Pryor is doing after selling his autographs in college
