No new news out there lately. But I found this timeline of what Johnny has been up too the past few months
Jan. 5 - A photo surfaces of Manziel with sparklers and a bottle of champagne at a Dallas bar.
Jan. 11 - OU defensive coordinator Mark Stoops says "If they can keep him out of jail or keep him eligible, he's gonna be pretty good. If they can keep him off Twitter, he might win three or four Heismans."
Jan. 24 - Teams up with trick-shot artist "Dude Perfect" to launch a football into a basketball goal from the top of Kyle Field.
Feb. 17 - Announces at the Davey O'Brien Award in Fort Worth that he's taking online classes to avoid crowds on the College Station campus.
Feb. 22 - His family files a lawsuit on behalf of JMAN2 Enterprises in an attempt to trademark and own "Johnny Football."
March 14 - Pictured shirtless in Cabo during Spring Break, with a Texas Longhorn tattoo on his ribs and a margarita in his hand.
March 23 - Shoves an A&M graduate assistant who yelled at him during a scrimmage at Kyle Field.
March 26 - Announces he's temporarily leaving Twitter, calling it a "distraction."
April 7 - Throws out the first pitch before a Rangers' game in Arlington. The delivery mimics his off-season focus - high and wide.
April 12 - Ends his Twitter boycott and jumps on 105.3 The Fan for the last interview in the history of RAGE.
May 12 - Shoots 79 at Pebble Beach while on vacation with his family.
May 23 - Story surfaces about his 2012 arrest, subsequent suspension and near-transfer from A&M. After Aggies' head coach Kevin Sumlin intervened, A&M's Dean of Student Life overturned the suspension.
June 1 - Wind-blown and giddy, he Tweets a video of him exclaiming "I always wanted to hit 100 in a boat!"
June 9 - Tweets a pic from Game 2 of the NBA Finals in Miami, where he apologizes to Spurs' fans for being a LeBron fan.
June 16 - After receiving a parking ticket on campus at A&M, he Tweets "Shit like tonight is a reason why I can't wait to leave college station...whenever it may be." He then implores critics to "walk a day in my shoes."
July 13 - Citing dehydration and illness, leaves the Manning Passing Academy a day early. He was there as a camp counselor, but questions arise when photos surface of him partying in Thibodaux, La. the night before his departure. He reportedly apologized to A&M coaches for his behavior at the camp.
July 15 - Pleaded guilty in conjunction with his arrest after a bar fight in 2012. During questioning by police, he produced three different IDs. He is ordered to pay a $2,000 fine and $232 in court costs for the Class B misdemeanor.

At least this is something new. Still don't think the NCAA does anything though

Texas Monthly had a good write-up on him. Long history of bad decisions and being a shithead in general. Other than that, there's still some things to prove.
Danny takes the time to count every post Bert made? Kind of the "pro" side to Bert's "anti" side? ;-)Comment

Hardly. Just noticed what seemed like EVERY post was Bert's, so I used that fancy schmancy 'Search this Thread' button to see if I was off-base.Originally posted by Vertnut View Post
As an Aggie, I think A&M should be keeping Johnny Football off the field until these allegations are resolved.When the government pays, the government controls.Comment

As a non-Aggie, unless they have more proof, I really don't have an issue with him playing. The NCAA tends to drag this stuff out too long, especially with the season looming. Piss on the rumors and innuendo. If they have PROOF, then nail him. If not, let him play.Originally posted by 46Tbird View PostComment

Nah, I don't subscribe to the win-at-all-costs mantra. You t-sippers can have that.
The guy has done some shady shit. What he did at the Manning football camp would be enough for me to kick him off my team. Not to mention getting into fights and showing fake ID. I'm just tired of his piss-poor behavior being associated with the school.
I've always been proud to be an Aggie, but taking zero action on this guy dims the code of honor: http://compliance.tamu.edu/CodeConduct.aspxWhen the government pays, the government controls.Comment

I tend to agree with this, but I see what Danny is saying too. Where there is smoke, there is fire. That's usually how it goes, anyways.Originally posted by Vertnut View PostOriginally posted by BradMOriginally posted by LeahComment

I'm with you. Either way just do something about it. Gameday is only 4 days away....if they have proof they need to get him or else come out and say they have nothing. I'm with Danny, I have 2 A&M degrees and was also in the corps of cadets so definitely know how strong the morals and ethics are "supposed" to be. I loved watching him play but if he's a jackass get him out of there. I'd rather lose respectfully (or win with our other good QBs) then give the media any more ammo on true Aggies.Originally posted by Vertnut View PostComment

It's a tough call. It just makes me wonder if it would be the same deal if it was some poor bastard who warms the bench. IMHO, A&M is obviously a totally different team without him and it's shitty for the NCAA to leave this hanging right up until kick-off of the season opener.Originally posted by bcoop View PostComment

Just keeping people up on it, sir. Letting you know what's going on at your school.
You're welcomeComment
