I meant who are they going to pick up as the eighth member?
It doesn't matter.


Who did the Big East poach from Conference USA once upon a time?  Doesn't matter.

The have-nots don't matter.  They didn't before and they don't now.  And the big, fat lie that they do is alive and well, even with a technical seat at the table.

Incorrect premise, Johnny Manziel WAS paid to play football at Texas A&M, and we saw exactly where it led.

But it would have been epic to hear how he spent it all today, in the open.

We know he spent a lot of it on cocaine.  He was a staple on the Austin club scene during those years.  He was taking his classes "online" so the story goes...

I always chuckled at the numerous photos of the Aggie QB partying on what appeared to be 6th St. with a bunch of people in the photos throwing up the Hook 'em Horns sign.  You couldn't ask for a bigger "I'm just here for the $" signal.

oh I'm sure there were boosters giving him cash.

in this era today though- with that Heisman year he put up as a RS Frosh and the highlight reel plays- dude would've been getting paid RIDICULOUS NIL money. probably something close to $8-10 mil a year.

We're not talking $100 handshakes here, we're talking better than Cam Newton kind of money.

But yes, the $250,000 under-the-table deals from back then, don't compare to the millions being distributed "legitimately" through NIL, now.

Point remains, he had plenty of money, and we know exactly how he spent it because social media and camera phones existed during his time.
