Bad thread
****. It's a shame someone brings info that is backed up by a report, has names surrounding the program and is just giving a heads up of something to watch. Not a way to get someone to share info in the future as it comes available.

Don't shoot the messenger - just something to monitor as we slowly make our way out of the woods with the NCAA.
Recently, the NCAA launched a probe into a Miami based autograph broker concerning an alleged deal he made with Johnny Manziel to sign a ton of memorabilia for, from what I understand, about $6,000-$8,000. This is obviously, if true, a blatant NCAA violation.
This same autograph broker has been on UM compliance's radar for a little while, but I haven't heard much else. Talking to a few people around the program, they seem to indicate that this same broker has had "extensive interaction" with past and current players, and has even had a personal run-in with David Reed (former AD for Compliance) during which he was asked to leave the Hecht Athletic Center premises on suspicion of him trying to locate players to proposition for autograph deals.
To what extent his relationship actually was/is with players remains to be seen. It could be perfectly harmless. However, you better believe given our relationship with the NCAA Enforcement and Infractions committee, they are going to attempt to use whatever they can get out of this guy (if anything), not just concerning Manziel.
Again, just passing on the little that I know - take it all with a grain of salt.

No where in the entire story does it mention Miami Hurricanes Players or the University of Miami. I am pretty certain that ESPN would love to throw Miami's name into this story if they could, but they didn't. So as of now CanesLaw and I hope your not studying law because without actual evidence this is what we call SPECULATION....you also said you spoke to people within the compliance dept, but without fact this is called HEARSAY
and with that.....

as a sigep too, I would hope you weren't so trusting as to think that a poster with 14 posts reporting a link that doesn't even mention UM is worth believing considering past history.
I mean, would anyone put it past the NCAA to try and fold us into this?

And how do we know this is credible?? We've had enough trolls around here lately, just back it up with some credible evidence that's all and I'll gladly eat crow. Anyone can throw names out...I believe someone did that named Shapiro
Things are going good around here, the program is doing great and of course here comes coincidently someone saying Miami is connected with Johnny Manziel breaking NCAA rules when we are on the cusp of finding out our penalties.
