It has been a tough 8 months for college football fans everywhere. The last time we saw a college football game was when Alabama absolutely dismantled Notre Dame to claim the BCS Championship. The offseason can be summed up with one name: Johnny Manziel. Manziel has had the media spotlight all on him this offseason. The Heisman Trophy winner has had an eventful few months, whether it is sitting court side at NBA games or getting kicked out of frat parties. The latest news is that the NCAA is investigating Manziel for supposedly receiving benefits for autographs. His college career could be over if the NCAA discovers enough evidence to suspend him. Texas A&M's first game is against Rice on August 31. Whether he plays in that game is up in the air.
