COLLEGE STATION — Johnny Manziel won’t be on the field for No. 7 Texas A&M until after halftime of today’s season opener against Rice.
The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback was suspended Wednesday for the first half of the game for what the school said was an “inadvertent” violation of NCAA rules. The quarterback was being investigated for allegedly accepting money for autographs from memorabilia brokers, which could have led to a much longer suspension.
