With the NCAA enforcement paying attention to social media as a way to find out who could be violating rules, Greg Romeus’ name is somewhere in the midst of the burgeoning agent scandal.
Greg Romeus attended San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore’s South Beach party in May, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told NFL Insider Aaron Wilson.
Romeus is from nearby Coral Springs, Fla., so it’s plausible that the NFL draft prospect could have arranged for his own transportation to the pool party at Gore’s residence.
We’re told that Romeus is prepared for any inquiries about how he came to be at the party.
The story notes that reports state that Romeus has denied to Pitt officials and coaches that he was even in Florida. Hopefully this is true.
If the NCAA starts sniffing around him, he had better be honest about things even if he attended. Last year Dez Bryant for Texas Tech Oklahoma St. had his career ended because of lying to investigators. Not for actually meeting with Deon Sanders. It’s always the cover-up that makes things worse.
Romeus is poised to be a first round pick regardless of this. It will, however, effect a lot of other things.
Romeus is one of the seniors on the squad and a face of Pitt football this year.
The Big East exposure continues on Friday as Pittsburgh hits the Bristol campus.
Coach Dave Wannstedt, running back Dion Lewis and defensive end Greg Romeus will appear in spots on the “Mike and Mike Show,” “College Football Live,” “The Scott Van Pelt Show” and ESPNews.
Romeus has also been named to the watchlist for the Allstate Insurance and American Football Coaches Association’s Good Works Team.
Perhaps Chestnut will follow tomorrow!
