College Sports Roundup: ‘Johnny Football’ review and more from the College Wires

It was a quieter day across the country when it comes to college sports but there’s still pelnty to talk about including a review of “Johnny Football”, whose to blame for conference realingment and more from the College Wires.

After a busy last few weeks in college athletics, Thursday offered a bit of a break from that with a relatively quiet news cycle. Perhaps it’s the calm before the storm; after all, the college football season is just 15 days away.

With that, on Thursday, College Sports Wire released our review of Netflix’s “UNTOLD: Johnny Football” documentary, which looked at the ups and downs of 2012 Heisman Trophy winner and Texas A&M legendary quarterback Johnny Manziel.

It is a fantastic documentary that we encourage all college football fans to watch, but it’s also a movie that can provide multiple lessons. Here’s an excerpt from our introduction to the review.

The documentary could serve as a cautionary tale for all aspiring collegiate and professional athletes about the fame and fortune that can come with success and how that fame and success can quickly spiral into chaos. It could also potentially serve as a case study of mental health issues, including bipolar disorder, which Johnny was revealed to be diagnosed with towards the end of the film.
