Did Braxton Miller (remember him?) Commit A NCAA Violation Last Night?
Saw this on a tweet just now from a local (Cleveland based) sports media guy I follow Kenny Rhoda. Seems that Braxton posted a picture of himself last night on Instagram alongside a Columbus-based nutrional supplement distributor behind a row of his products and included a link to Miller's website for ordering. The post was quickly deleted.
I know nothing of this website that broke the story nor do I think the NCAA will give two shits about it but I thought it was interesting.

NCAA bylaw 48-097.8bj, and I quote, "To hell with Ohio State."
NCAA Head Commissioner of Compliance is already out with his usual statement....

Don't forget the double secret probation.
I think that's the same kitchen where DeAnthony Arnett announced his college decision.
I think it's the kitchen from Ray Liota's house in Good Fellas.
Both of you are wrong. It's the kitchen from "That '70s Show."
the scene in goodfellas at Tommy's house where they have dinner with his mom is almost entirely improvised. The original scene was supposed to have Tommy just take his mom(Martin Scorcese's actual mother) back to bed but the cast believed it would be an opportunity to throw some humor into the movie when it had become increasingly dark and the characters almost unrelatable.
He's like, "Whaddya want from me?"
The twitter pic looks almost like a spoof. The colors of the "supplement" boxes look like they could be feminine hygiene products - and then contrast that with the tough guy douche look on Miller's (and who's the other guy?) face.
this dog facing this way you got this dog facing that way." If you watch it again you can tell it was largely ad libbed. The conversation does not flow the way scripted scenes do(even ones with bad writing), it is awkward in the same way having dinner with your friend's mother would be awkward (minus the whole dead body in the car thing). The dialogue is really stilted and doesn't go anywhere. Liotta in particular looks as though he knows he is outclassed by Deniro and Pesci and is just following their lead. It is an interesting scene to watch.
"What's a matter, Henry? You don't talk so much. Don't eat so much, don't talk so much..."
ha ive heard the same (i think on one of those behind the scenes bio shows), that scenes great. the painting in that scene was pretty much the only decoration on my frosh dorm room wall
That is very interesting. I never knew that and that's one of my favorite movies.
improvised/off script - Robin Williams entire story about his wife farting and waking him in the therapy sessions of Good Will Hunting. The in-office therapy scenes had to be shot numerous times because Williams would go into routines and characters, they would have to stop shooting because Matt Damon was laughing to hard to continue filming.
Unrelated?
Regarding the QB battle in Columbus: "That's the only thing that's starting to eat away at me a little bit," Meyer said Tuesday.
So long, Braxton. It was nice knowin' ya.
Sounds like somebody (Meyer) is developing gastrointestinal issues...or laying the groundwork for an illness related departure from OSU once Harbaugh establishes Harbaugh dominance.
If Michigan starts out at least 3-1 in the next '10 year war', the war will be over in 4 years.
thing about dem internets... stuff stay on der fo-ev-ER.
I cannot stand Kenny Rhoda and his buckeye-honking attitude.
Kinda of ironic wouldnt you say that he's the one tweeting the story? Not like Collegespun.com has a ton of visitors.
aka The Rodent. Fitting nickname.
He IS a snappy dresser though....
Les Nessman from WKRP in Cinncinnati?
of that website is nice. +1 would click again.
that's hilarious. And then the ND picture....too funny.
and technically SPARK is a banned substance.
there's about to be massive butthurt in this thread. lol
I think Miller should transfer to UM. Then JH could beat Meyer with his own QB. That might be kind of cool. It will never happen though.
Miller has to be like wtf. In the span of 8 months he went from Heisman contender(kind of frontrunner) pre-season to a back up to a quarterback that was replaced by another quarterback who lead his team to a national championship.
You have to wonder what was going through that kid's mind last year. That is some humble pie.

but when you think that you are the guy and learn very quickly that you are but one of many it has to be hard to swallow. Whatever, I don't care, I am just saying it was probably a tough pill to swallow, that's all. Not hating on him, I am genuinely saying it was probably a tough year for him.
Hey, your avatar says your rational. Don't go changing things up now.

The NBC article quotes the relevant sections of the NCAA Handbook - LINK
From a supplemental document called "Compliance Information", you get this -
A common problem for student-athletes is in the area of implied endorsements. Remember that if you demonstrate a product on behalf of a company, and/or provide a comment or interview about a product, service or company, you are jeopardizing your eligibility. Please be cautious about these types of circumstances and contact the Compliance Staff BEFORE engaging in any type of activity.
I would doubt anything really comes of this, but it is noteworthy all the same. If compensation was involved, I believe you are not eligible until the appropriate restitution is made, at least under current rules.
they seem to have quarterly.
Advocare is not a pyramid scheme.
Braxton is not violating any NCAA guidelines.
/s
multil level marketing scheme. maybe he should sell tupperware too.
"You seem like a smart guy. How'd you like to own your own business and be your own boss?"
Not a violation unless he got an Advocare tattoo.
as punishment, will smack him with a wet noodle and order Urban Meyer to coach the first game with no headset.
Meyer wasn't fully aware of Miller's conduct. The NCAA will just say that it is "all in the statement" and then not release a statement.
The punishment will be that harsh? He's "just a kid" for cryin' out loud!
Paging PeterKlima, please report to this thread.
That picture just screams "buy these nutritional supplements... or whatever"
