Braxton Miller under investigation

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State is looking into a potential NCAA rule violation with quarterbackBraxton Miller after he posted a photo of himself promoting health supplements on Instagram.
The senior quarterback deleted the post from Tuesday that featured a picture of him next to AdvoCare products and included his email as a distributor of the products, but not before it was widely seen and prompted questions about whether his amateur status might be in doubt due to his celebrity and an apparent endorsement.

"We are aware of it," an Ohio State spokesman said Wednesday. "We are looking into it."
The NCAA allows for outside employment of student-athletes, and Miller would not be in violation of any rules by selling AdvoCare products.
But players like the two-time Big Ten offensive player of the year can't use high-profile status in an effort to personally profit, which makes Miller's situation something of a gray area. The Ohio State compliance office hasn't publicly issued any sort of verdict on the situation, but Miller told The Columbus Dispatch "it's all good."
Sources familiar with compliance issues told ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg that Miller isn't likely to face any sort of punishment outside of education on the matter, and that his steps to remove the offending post and references to his name on a website selling products likely would be sufficient for a violation that would appear to be secondary in nature.
Miller missed all of last season after suffering a shoulder i

Odds he was reported by another Buckeye QB?
Now that's what I call a QB competition.

He's an idiot. But he's also the QB I'd like starting this coming season the least, so I'm OK with it.
I'm assuming he'll serve a few game suspension and then turn into a wide receiver.

He can't pass a deep ball. Without the deep ball, Zeke can't get things going.

guess it will be the supplemental draft for Miller, if this turns out to be true

He was just filling a prerequisite to go to Auburn.

Yeah, a few game suspension at worst, but I still don't want Braxton at QB. With ole Urbz saying the QB battle is starting to weigh on him, I'd like to have Braxton rule himself out to save Urban's heart from complications.

As if Alabama is above taking him.

He's not even on our radar. We have plenty of capable QBs

Man, frick the NCAA with a big ole AIDS dick if they try to penalize the kid for this.

Braxton won't win the job anyways. His shoulder is apparently done. He's going to end up with a noodle arm.

Amazing this is Spark ing a controversy

Is this really a violation? My relative who's a college student and big into fitness helps sell that stuff. Or they not allowed to do the same things as regular college students?
