Did he make a similar appearance at OU? I say a pic posted of P. Manning with Baker Mayfield.
As slow as he talks it sounds like a fail for the Pokes.
That place is a den of thieves anyway.

You do have to wonder, of all the people in the world to pay six figures to speak at an institution of higher learning, why Manning? Now if you have to have a jock, you could get someone nearly as intelligent and articulate, like Ryan Lochte, Michael Phelps, or Hope Solo.
If Manning came to speak at OU and I knew about it, I'd probably go listen. He's a legend.
Didn't Manning get in break an NFL rule by speaking with Saban recently?
I've heard Manning speak (along with about 5,000 others), and it was interesting. Why did he do it in Stillwater? $105k. Nothing wrong with making money.
No, it was the fact that both he and the Broncos Offensive Coordinator spoke to Saban together in violation of the new CBA Player/Coach contact during an off period. Regardless of the fact that Gase has worked for Saban and Manning has met with Saban for many years. Manning just met with the Stoops and the OU staff like he also did with Saban, no paid speech appearance. He did meet with Gundy and the OSU staff outside of the paid appearance. It seems the CBA was not written for those players who wish to do more than the minimum.
No, but I think the issue is OSU is a public institution of higher learning and Manning is an entertainment sports celebrity who has little to offer in the area of thinking, innovation, creativity, or intellectual stimulation. I can see a university paying a speaking fee for a Nobel laureate, innovative business leader, musician, or international statesman who can enrich students' minds, but some football player whose own older brother the energy executive says is nothing more than a dumb jock?
Did the "school" pay for it or some outside foundation?
There are plenty of intellectuals out there as well who couldn't convey a message worth a damn, they may be smart in their field but couldn't deliver it to lay people. I do think Manning has assessment and critical thinking skills down much better than some of those people who think they are intellectually superior and does it at a much faster rate.
Peyton Manning is more successful and entertaining than Phelps, Lochte, and Solo combined.
I imagine that T. Boone paid for his appearance. Remember P. Manning is a pro, and they do not go anywhere without being paid.
From my understanding, attendees paid $10 each to hear Manning speak at OSU, so likely attendance covered a good portion of the speaking fee.
I don't think Peyton got paid for his side trip to OU afterward though, so basically, OSU footed a six-figure bill that allowed Peyton an easy side trip to Norman. If I were a Poke, I'd be slightly miffed
especially when one is doing so as an individual and the other as part of a team.
on Big Tex burning....They mentioned this on College Football Live. Pollack asked if it represented the Texas defense. Herbie told him it represented the Texas bandwagon.
