I'm not saying he didn't do it either. I don't know one way or the other.

I'm just saying that the reporters who claim to have the sources have a spotty history at best when it comes to reporting the truth.


This is all fair of you to have this point of view.

I am curious, however... how would you feel about all of this if this was pointed at AJ MCcarron or Mett or Hill? Would you still be preaching level-headed logic, or would you be latching on to the story?

I think all parties are doing exactly what is natural in this situation:

- Johnny Football is cashing in while he can.
- Johnny Football's friend/handler/pimp is making tons of money off of his friend.
- Reporters are reporting just enough truth to keep themselves out of hot water and just enough sensationalism to sell some ad space.
- aTm fans are all pissed at the media and opposing fan bases for attacking good ole Johnny Football.
- Opposing fan bases are buying everything the media is putting out there because it's fun to pick on Aggie.
- NCAA is appearing to investigate but will end up delaying and screwing everything up just long enough to let ESPN sell a lot of ad space/time while covering this story.

Anyway, that's how I see it.

if it was being reported by two guys who have such a spotty history I would for sure question it.
