If you and all of the Aggie nation want these guys to play, then why the hell are you trying to bring them all down? Do you really want a boring arse season without Clowney, etc.? I sure as hell don't want to watch a pussy season of backups at every position. I get that you're worried about your JFF, I want to see him play too. But don't mess with the season for the rest of us.

Because the NCAA and ESPN are going all out to prove that Manziel signed hundreds of items for brokers and in exchange was paid. The primary red flag was that it wasn't just 5-10 items, but that there were dozens of authenticated items that were authenticated in sequential order. This is the primary theory why they believe Manziel sat down for a "session for money". They also have "pictures and videos" of Manziel signing the memorabilia, which is how these brokers prove that they are real when they authenticate the items. These brokers didn't just choose only take photographic pictures of Manziel. It is an industry standard way of proving the picture were real and the do it every time they have something signed.

What the NCAA and ESPN didn't realize is that while they were 100% focused on Manziel (since he is by far the biggest name in CFB right now), that they were overlooking a handful of other players that have the exact same evidence: Braxton Miller, Clowney, and Marqis Lee.

Joe Schad chased down these brokers and requested pic/videos of Manziel. What he didn't request were the pics/video of the other players. Those pics absolutely exist.

Would the NCAA manke Manziel ineligible...probably.

Would the make Manziel, Miller, Clowney, & Lee ineligible....absolutely not. The backlash would be too massive.

Manziel getting paid is something that NCCA would expose, a bunch of elite player across the country doing the same thing is a pandoras box that the NCAA won't touch.
