Talked to an Aggie buddy of mine last night as we were grilling steaks and drinking beer at the pool. Guy is pretty die-hard, but very realistic, and has some good contacts.
He told me weeks ago that the cover-up on this thing is bigger than the crime. Well last night we got into the whole situation pretty good. What he told me was that there were a couple of big time aggie boosters that got wind of all of this earlier in the year. They supposedly went straight to some of these brokers and tried to buy up all of the merchandise to get it off the market asap. They new this thing was going to blow up and tried to get out in front of it.
Supposedly there is a warehouse in East Texas where a lot of the merchandise that has been purchased in bulk amounts (jersey's, helmets, pictures, etc.) is being stored. Over the last 5 months, a lot of this merchandise has been filtered out through the twelfth man foundation, silent auctions, charity events, etc.
My buddy says that a small group at A&M knew this was going on for months (he specifically mentioned the 12th man foundation). They school knows Manziel is guilty as hell, and he needs to sit this year as they do not want to risk hurting the recruiting momentum they have right now, do not want to take the chance of a loss of scholarships down the road, or a possible bowl ban. Basically they do not want to risk killing the momentum of everything they have built up over the last 12 months.
Problem is, Manziel has lawyered up, and my friend is convinced if Sumlin sits him, Manziel is going to sue the hell out of the school, NCAA, and anyone else they can. If that happens, people will testify on the record, and all the dirty laundry comes out, and it's going to get real ugly.
Take it for what it's worth....I have no idea if this is true, just passing along what I was told."
