I did an AMA here and I mentioned that there was a high profile player that was a potential Heisman candidate that was going overboard with getting paid. The mods asked me not to mention any names so I kept their name private. They are definitely a Heisman candidate this year, 100%.
I said in there that I wouldn't be surprised if something comes out on them before they reach the NFL.
Something is going to come out on them. With the way ESPN tears down people for a story, they are going to do the same thing they did with Manziel. He is having a ridiculous season and I have heard from a few people that they have been contacted by writers at ESPN trying to get someone to leak any information. I am almost positive one of the guys did.
If they go with the story, it will be on the front page of ESPN. Guaranteed.

I don't know if I'm allowed to say because of the mods. Go to eBay and search for Signed stuff by the guys and look at who has the most stuff. There literally hundreds of pieces on there. They don't sign that much stuff for free.
He got sloppy and greedy and its going to bite him in the butt.
It might get swept under the rug but as money hungry as ESPN is....don't be shocked if it comes out in the next couple of weeks.
I would feel bad for the kid but what he does is business. When people cater to your needs and pay you good money for a few minutes of work, they expect some loyalty. When he does this hundreds of times, the value goes to the toilet and people are out a lot of money.
Oregon fans....rest easy.

Edit: OP commented below and suggested a search on eBay for stuff so I did (search was "[player name] signed autographed"). Here are the numbers for choice players:
Jameis Winston: 262 results
Todd Gurley: 258 results
Brett Hundley: 18 results
Marcus Mariota: 40 results
Melvin Gordon: 31 results
Link: Reddit
Apparently the common theory is that the culprit is Gurley. I don't wanna believe that, I'd rather it be Jameis. But just giving everyone a heads up on this, I didn't see anything about it.
All SPECULATION at this point!
UPDATE GURLEY HAS BEEN SUSPENDED

Oct. 9, 2014
ATHENS ----- University of Georgia tailback Todd Gurley has been indefinitely suspended from competition by the UGA Athletic Association during an ongoing investigation into an alleged violation of NCAA rules.
"I'm obviously very disappointed," said UGA head football coach Mark Richt. "The important thing for our team is to turn all our attention toward preparation for Missouri."

NCAA gives zero fricks. Nothing will come of this if true.

Did Winston autograph those shoplifted crab legs for the PoPo?
Posted on 9/28/14 at 9:29 am to AllBamaDoesIsWin
As long as he got paid in cash, we should be in the clear

Mark Richt has lost control of autograph brokers, people who want signed stuff and Gurley's money...
I seriously hope this is about Jameis Winston. Seriously.

Hey but Johnny Manziel is a piece of shite because he signed some autographs am I right or am I right?

If it's about Gurley nothing will come of it. If it's about Winston, ESPN will beat it into the ground, and then nothing will come of it.

Have you ever approached someone about signing for you only to be turned down because of the rules? Or are players not worried about getting caught?

Yes, I actually will name a few guys that were by the books.
Trent Richardson, RG3, Tebow, Aaron Murray just to name a few.

This. Also, this would be a terrible PR fight for the NCAA to pick at the present time. Gurley's family is really poor, and one of his brothers is in jail. Good luck arguing that he shouldn't have taken the money.

I have an inside source close to the situation say with certainty that all Gurley signed memorabilia on eBay was actually done by CNB in his sister's trailer.

Amari Cooper. Everyone knows that.

Yeah no one gives a frick.

He won't say who, but he will narrow it down to two people? Just as bad of a leak.
Posted on 9/28/14 at 9:45 am to LSURussian
I didn't see but like 3 things signed by Coop
TMW is selling them privately
I Keed
Really hope (and it sounds like) this is Jaboo and ESPN would have much more of a field day with it similar to JFF if it is because FSU and Jimbo have certainly shown he won't be suspended for more than a few quarters.

Can't be Jameis. I refuse to believe that he can spell his name.

Johnny Manziel is a POS because he is simply a douchebag. Did you see him on the sidelines last night? That kind of tool-ness can't be taught. It is just natural.
The NCAA will sign their own death warrant if they pursue this. Especially after the trial this summer that proved they have been making billions on other people's names for years.
BesidesI doubt that UGA would sit him even if their were an investigation. They would do what every other team that suited up guys that have the audacity to make money off their own ability and fame. They would win the games they could with the player and then happily "vacate" down the road.
Seriously, after recruiting bidding war for Cam Newton resulted in a 24 hour suspension for Cam Newton, who really gives a shite what the NCAA does?
