They do that anyway
As for Manziel, he's doing nothing wrong, it's the media thats blowing everything out of proportion. I'm personally tired of hearing about the dude, let his skills do the talking. I was listening to the radio the other day and a caller made a good point, "if it was a texas A&M offensive lineman who did all this, nobody would care"
I know they get a couple thousand. I'm saying bump that up a couple thousand more and call it a day

The thing I don't understand is why can't they receive gifts? What's the big deal of somebody buying you something or buying you dinner? It's stupid it's like the NCAA wants to control there life.

Because 'gift' tends to become a nebulous term that leads to parties becoming involved with giving players money to influence the outcome of games. Which I'm sure already does happen at the collegiate level.

No I'm not just applying it to Miami I'm just using that as a point that the kids don't have as much money as people think they do.You mean.. Like TONS of other kids in college all over the country?
For shame.

He's prolly talking about how we always have a major suspension before a big game and it does get talked about a lot when that game is approaching

Personally like what he brings to the table, on the small side, but fundamentally sound and gets to the ball. High football IQ. Predominantly a weakside backer, but will be counted on to take over the middle this year. Definitely the best all around LB'er on the team.

Miami isnt making millions off of your average journalism student. They sell the likeness of players in video games and sell their jerseys in the bookstore.

2010 Quarterbacks: A look back

CBSSports.com’s Bruce Feldman took a look back at the 2010 quarterback class in his blog. While it was known at the time that it wasn’t a particularly strong cycle at signal caller, an abnormal number of the highly-rated prospects in that class at that position have not made it to starter status at the FBS level. We take a closer look at several of the big names.
Rob Bolden got some early starts at Penn State, but was beaten out and eventually transferred to LSU as a back-up.
“I covered the Elite 11 quarterback camp that year when I was working for ESPN.com and you could tell that the group was less than stellar,” 247Sports National Recruiting Director JC Shurburtt said. “In fact, I felt like Devin Gardner and Rob Bolden were probably the two most high-value prospects there simply because of what they could do with their feet. That’s saying something in that particular setting.”
Below 247Sports National Scouting Director Gerry Hamilton and I reflect on five of the bigger misses from the 2010 class.
Phillip Sims, Chesapeake (Va.) Oscar Smith
An Alabama signee, Sims was the top-rated pro-style QB nationally coming out of high school. He lost the Tide's quarterback competition to AJ McCarron early on in the 2011 season and later transferred to Virginia.
"While similar in arm strength and physical abilities, McCarron showed a better grasp of the offense and was much more accurate throughout their battle" - Gerry Hamilton
Jesse Scroggins, Lakewood (Calif.)
The No. 2 pro-style QB in the class, Scroggins was redshirted and never could climb the depth chart at USC. He took only one snap in two seasons there, and now is at Arizona attempting to find his way onto the field.
"Arizona is a chance to get on the field. He's not a perfect fit for Rich Rodriguez's offense, but he has enough of the skill set to be a factor in the race."-Hamilton
Jake Heaps, Sammamish (Wash.) Skyline
Heaps, the No. 3 pro-style QB in the class, signed with BYU and played two seasons there. After a strong freshman year, things went south the following season. Today, he is competing for the starting position at Kansas.
"Kansas provides an opportunity for him with the offensive scheme Charlie Weis runs. The question, though, has always been about his arm strength and ability to push the ball vertically. And that remains in question now."-Hamilton
Rob Bolden, West Bloomfield (Mich.) St. Mary’s Prep
Bolden signed with Penn State out of high school and went to Happy Valley as a top-100 recruit, even earning the starting job as a true freshman. But Bolden completed only 165 of 328 passes for 2,045 yards with seven touchdowns and 14 interceptions in two seasons there. He transferred to LSU and is a backup.
"He's a guy that struggled with the decision-making part of the game and translating throws to the college level."-Hamilton
Connor Wood, Houston (Texas) Second Baptist
A pro-style quarterback (he was No. 4 in the rankings at that position), Wood signed with Texas but was beat out for the starting spot by Garrett Gilbert in 2011 and transferred to Colorado, where he is a rising junior.
"Wood got into a tough situation at Texas. He came into the same class as Case McCoy. At the same time, he struggled with the decision-making part of the position, and grasping the speed of the game coming from a small private school.” -Hamilton
