TexasTiger - you are correct.

But at the same time, you should at least acknowledge that ESPN should show a little more journalistic integrity instead of just feeding the public perception for ratings gain.

What in the actual frick? You have terrible reading comprehension skills, don't you? Just nod yes bc it's true.

For real...y'all are cluttering up this message board with post after post after post about how USC's star player, Clowney, did the same thing Manziel did only the NCAA doesn't appear to want to go after him.

Y'all started this. Not us. And y'all brought us into this. Let me say that again, but slower:

I thought there was also video?


Which, if it exists, will never be seen by the NCAA according to the man who supposedly has it.

Sorry, I should have said no one cared enough, "until now". Not intentional misstep.

ESPN doesn't know what journalistic integrity means.

See Herbstreit "Miles is 100% going to Michigan"

Their job is to report on big topics, your boy is a big topic and has been making a poor example out of himself and your university.

He's shown he's more interested in himself and his fame than he is in progressing as a football player. He has shown a somewhat low moral compass already. Then they hear about this, you don't expect them to run with it? About the Heisman trophy winner? Really?

I know how it works. But Journalism and TMZ aren't the same thing.

Unless he decides to sell it.

I'm sure Texas, Baylor, SMU, etc. have at least one booster rich enough to buy it from him and turn it over to the NCAA...

Great news though, no one knows who he is! 'Unnamed Sources'

It wasn't the NCAA who conducted and found wrong doing at SMU, it was the Dallas newspapers who did all the work bringing in the NCAA's interest in doing an "investigation"...
