Jadeveon Clowney Instagrammed Evidence Of An NCAA Rule Violation
Jadeveon Clowney, college football’s baddest man, tweeted a link to this Instagram post:
Clowney shared a link to a story about himself being pursued by, and in discussions with, Roc Nation Sports, Jay Z’s newly formed sports agency. His caption: “You kno we about to turn up. Dream coming true.” I’m told this means something along the lines of, “I believe I will reach my dream of one day playing in the NFL and being represented by an esteemed sports agency.”
Amateur college football players are prohibited by the NCAA to talk with sports agents, a violation that is typically dealt with rather harshly if the accused is proven guilty. While Clowney doesn’t come right out and say that he and Roc Nation Sports are in discussions, one could surmise that he’s confirming the report with this post. Technically speaking, the NCAA shouldn’t have much to go on here.
Keep your head on straight, Clowney. You’ve got a bright future, my man. Just keep a solid core group around you to keep you grounded, you know, someone like yungjheffna. “Take this down b.” Wise words.

What a “clown”
13 years ago at 4:55 pmThat’s a clown comment bro.
13 years ago at 4:57 pm^
13 years ago at 5:06 pm^^^ thanks for the quotation marks. Totally would’ve missed the pun
13 years ago at 9:58 pmTechnically the rule states he can talk with whoever, he just isn’t allowed to agree verbally or in writing to be represented by anyone specifically. Jay-Z also isn’t an agent officially yet, so he could be jeopardizing his status with the NFL if he is tampering.
13 years ago at 4:57 pmJay-Z is trying to get a little big for his britches if you ask me. He’s got money, but damn he’s starting to reach. I’d take Scott Boras or Drew Rosenhaus any day of the week. Not some rapper with a recruited squad of unproven agents. He doesn’t want to have a sport agency, he wants to SAY he has a sport agency
13 years ago at 10:38 pm^im pretty sure you’re not using that saying correctly.
13 years ago at 11:48 pmHe should hold out for money. For my entertainment, I’d love to see a college kid pull that move. I can’t name one other player that can keep two programs relevant at the same time. Lookin’ at you, Michigan.
13 years ago at 4:59 pmThe commenters sound like Bieber’s entourage in one of Bacon’s columns.
13 years ago at 4:59 pmWhat a moron, he literally could not have done anything more idiotic
13 years ago at 5:00 pmNot true at all. This one of the least idiotic things I’ve heard a college football player doing on here.
13 years ago at 11:55 pmMotion to re-instate literacy tests
13 years ago at 5:00 pmSeriously though….
13 years ago at 5:31 pmTaking away the Southern vote. TFTC
13 years ago at 7:57 pmThe SEC would lose all of their athletes
13 years ago at 12:18 am^ Your fucking name. I lost it
13 years ago at 7:02 am^^
13 years ago at 9:53 am^Your, and ^^^your names. Nice
13 years ago at 5:01 pm“Technically speaking, the NCAA shouldn’t have much to go on here.”
13 years ago at 5:05 pmOh yes of course, I think I speak for everyone when I say that we deeply admire the NCAA’s sterling reputation of competency, proper investigations and adherence to their own rules.
Reminds me of King Barry in some ways.
13 years ago at 10:11 amI thought the thumbnail was a picture of little wayne.
13 years ago at 5:11 pmI thought it was Whoopi Goldberg.
13 years ago at 11:10 pmI thought it was Brittney Griner.
13 years ago at 4:52 pmDorn, he said they are pursuing him…how is that in any way illegal? The NCAA doesn’t say anything about agents WANTING to lock down clients. That’s a woman’s game. It’d be like your gf accusing you of cheating because you told her a girl in Bio said you were hot.
13 years ago at 5:15 pmSlow down, chief.
13 years ago at 6:05 pmTypical University of South Carolina incompetence
