Ohio State QB Braxton Miller Can’t Attend Graduation Party at a Nightclub Because It Would Be a Violation

Braxton Miller: A nightclub in Huber Heights, Ohio, was throwing a high school graduation party this weekend for Ohio State QB Braxton Miller, but he can’t attend because it would be an NCAA violation. According to the Dayton Daily News, because Braxton’s name was on an advertisement (it was promoted on the Facebook page of Tre Moore, his high school teammate) for the party and the nightclub was going to charge $10 for guys and $7 for women, it “would be in violation of NCAA rules if they knowingly allowed a business to use their names for profit.” Braxton enrolled early at Ohio State and may start the season opener for the Buckeyes with starter Terrelle Pryor suspended.

If he’s a high school senior, how is he legally old enough to get into a nightclub anyway?

Ok, this is pretty silly. Let the kid show up to his own party.

I heard that when the club threw a party for the president of the science club, he totally got to go.

A fucking double standard.

I know the place. This club has been a pain in the ass for years, under various names, and dodged another recent shutdown attempt.

Ew. I just clicked on the link to this story, and this was the breaking story at the top of the page. Jesus.

My guess is he probably wouldn’t have gotten one, at least not a full ride.

The problem is the social fuel we use to generate 18 year old “superstars,” not whether this kid gets to go to a party that intends to exploit his name.
