The guy is a QB guru and I'm sure his services don't come for free. Do college teams foot the bill for his services or is this something that players do on their own in the off-season?

Really hoping his work with Harris pays off.

The players' families pay for it. It's not cheap, but not as expensive as you think either.

The universities can't pay for any crap like that...it's all on the individuals and their families.

Definitely the parents. I think I read it was $7500 all inclusive.

I'd contribute to a gofundme every year for this.

Is that allowed?

$7500 is not bad at all, I had in mind around 20k

$7500 is a good investment if there is a decent chance that the return could be at least a few million dollars.

Manziel's Dad reportedly spent $150K for a couple of weeks of one on one training. But I would figure it would be around 10K for a week.

Pretty sure he charges less for athletes in the media spotlight. He runs the camp full time for high school players and players on college teams out of the spotlight, but charges them full price. He gets advertisement by saying he trained up Johnny football or Brandon Harris and them playing well on national television, so it benefits him to get them in his camp

I remember there was a big thing about him and Cam Newton before the draft, but other than that i don't think anyone of note.

If the guy was smart, he'd give certain stars a special deal:

1) Pay full price like all the other campers

2) Pay a minimal fee now and a percentage of your first year NFL salary

Is that allowed?

Definitely didn't have 150k to blow on this.
