My point is that the NCAA clearly didn't do a proper investigation before and relied heavily on Auburn's assumption of innocence. That they reinstated a player, that was still under investigation is contrary to every decision they've ever made concerning eligibility.
All I have said is they didn't rely exclusively on info provided by AU. Also, I have stated that the reinstatement shows that, if the NCAA in fact heard the types prior to the decision (as is claimed), then the tapes obviously aren't as conclusive regarding Cam's knowledge as they are being portrayed.
Nothing more, nothing less.

I was very pleased with how that whole issue was handled. Our staff and enforcement did a great investigation, did it quickly and got to the facts as best we could find them…The fact of the matter is, as we got to the facts that we could uncover, they led to the right conclusion and it was that there is no evidence there was anything inappropriate with this young man and with that institution had occurred…The burden of proof for the NCAA is a little deeper than the burden of proof for a blogger.

Again, that's to be determined. The enforcement staff is separate from the eligibility staff. With less than 24 hrs to decide eligibility, it's reasonable to believe they couldn't have gathered the information that the investigation had at the time. There just isn't enough time to properly review a case, especially, if there were "months" of investigations beforehand. It's much more believable to think they based their decision on the information provided to them from Auburn.
