I mean, I know they do, but sometimes I think they just don't even care. I feel like I could do a better job of handling this issue
My translation of this is that it is NOT a NCAA Clearinghouse issue, as has been reported, but is a Virginia Tech application issue.
If it was clearinghouse issue, why would other schools be suiting him right now? Also, it makes no sense that the NCAA clearinghouse would clear him for Summer enrollment, but not spring.
The issue, to me, appears that his VT application was not reviewed / accepted on time for spring enrollment, which is next Monday. Perhaps a transcript or test score was missing for the application or something...
It sounds like VT really screwed the pooch on this. I would not wait to start college until the summer if I were him. Hopefully someone can get this fixed today and we don't see him at Miami every year.

He could probably still get the hook up for the team on Taquitos at 7-11.
For his sake, I hope he was in on this hoax. How would it feel to think that a girl you had a long distance relationship with and she died was fake and he was tricked the entire time?
The more Bama fans who think we're shit the better, because when we are 1-0 on August 31st, we'll either get mass respect from Bama fans or Bama fans will spend the entire season bitching and moaning about how we were the only team keeping them out of the NC.
Has anyone else noticed that Harris looks way older than 18/19?
I say we bring Brandon Ore back.
This guy looks scarier than Vince Painter.
I really hope someone can get this rushed through...We desperately need him now.
-- Tech is involved with a second Fork Union player, running back Drew Harris from Exton, Pa., whose efforts to enroll for the second semester have reached the eleventh hour.
Fork Union coach John Shuman isn't ruling out the possibility of a favorable ruling from the NCAA, despite reports that Harris can't enroll till June.
"He increased his SATs, he got good grades here and now it's a matter of waiting on the [NCAA] clearinghouse," Shuman said. "We realize the deadline for admissions at Tech is next Monday. Academically and everything, he's on track, especially out of Fork Union.
"It's just come down to the reviewing of the paperwork. It's done and it's been submitted. I know the dad is not happy and he and the high school coach have called other schools."
Shuman took a call from a University of Miami coach Tuesday, Rutgers called Wednesday and Temple came into the school to talk with Harris.
"If [the Harrises] want to open it up, that's fine with us," Shuman said. "By chance, if he's not admitted by next Monday, they're wondering, 'What's he going to do for the spring?' "
Should be "these high school kids."

Seriously, if he actually was duped, I feel sorry for him and fully support additional head trauma examinations for those playing football. Because surely, if he believed, he's had one too many concussions.
Now, if this was an actual ploy by Manti and/or ND, well played sir, well played. Your only mistake was that you didn't cover it up well enough to keep it from getting out until after the NFL draft.
Do I think it makes his draft stock go down? No, no really. The NFL doesn't really care how "smart" you are. They are hiring him to be a ruthless hunk of meat on the field. They don't care if you're dumb enough to get duped into a LTR with a cyber chick in Guatemala. As long as you pick up the blocks you're supposed to on the field and stay out of trouble with the law off the field, that's all that matters. And he did that. If he managed to "play the field" and win some sympathy votes from the fans/media along the way, well, we all got duped as well.
As far as NCAA sanctions and stuff, that's just a bunch of hot air. So ND helped him cover up a fake girlfriend? Big deal. There were no laws broken as it appears on ND's or Manti's part, only a (potential) broken heart which isn't illegal. Yes, there could have been laws broken by the person responsible for the alleged fake account, but only if there was an exchange of property/money (i.e. defrauding someone for financial gain). So, at this point, I say if we ignore it, it goes away. Live and let live.
Agreed. However, my Photoshop skills are lacking and/or non-existent.
I sure hope you are right.
Please someone replace Peter Griffin with a tiny picture of Teo in this... it would be perfect
Come 8-31-13, they'll be wishing they had watched his 2011 game film instead of his 2012 game film. #BEATBAMA
but he's a 2014 recruit. For QB's, I was talking about the 3 weeks until signing day and if Loeffler makes a push for another QB. It would reflect on how he views Bucky and Carlis (both of which have their detractors).
For 2014 QB recruits, we could see (gasp!) VT pursue some less mobile QB types.
We were all duped. ND was really not the #1 team in the country. It was all part of a feel good story to soften up the poll voters.
When the truth comes out that the administration knew about it all along and failed to do anything because it would kill the football team's momentum, then the crap will hit the fan.
Manti's fake girlfriend was actually AJ's. Brent Mussberger is in on it too.
That is my conspiracy story and I am sticking with it.
Hey Manti, I bet you've never even kissed a girl
I have too!
Yeah? Name one
You wouldn't know her, she lives in California!
This dude has gone from the next Mike Singletary to Brian from The Breakfast Club
From what I can tell he still seems adamant about becoming a Hokie.
I already love this kid, loyalty goes a long way in my book. Hopefully, VT fixes this before it is to late.
