The NCAA can do whatever they want, if they want...
The Jesse Pate situation proved that, it ended with an apology from the NCAA...

In the meeting, the NCAA simply explained that through their investigation they were unable to find proof or even strong circumstantial evidence that Manziel accepted payment for signing memorabilia.
Couldn't of been too simple to take 6 hours

I agree, but I still think the article is bullshite because the NCAA has plenty of strong circumstantial evidence, so I can't imagine why they would say they don't. They likely have no proof, but there is no reasonable explanation for why he signed that much stuff in that short a time for one guy other than monetary compensation.

This doesn't make any sense. They may not, and probably don't, have proof, but the mere fact that he signed thousands of pictures, footballs, helmets, etc. for a sports memorabilia dealer is strong circumstantial evidence that he accepted payment.
Unless they are forgeries.

With all the heat they're currently taking from their policies and "amateurism" rules, I'm sure they're just dying to take away JFF's eligibility over something like this...

all reports have indicated the brokers were not going to work with the NCAA.
without that, there really isn't much for the NCAA to go on.

Not saying this isn't true, but this is the author's first article on that site.

Yeah I have plans to release the actual videos and affidavits right after the Alabama game. 
Make you a deal Aggies, Beat Bama and those videos get chucked right in the trash. Or trade you for 50 yard line tickets versus LSU, and a slab of beef for the smoker. (you can eat some too. We share at Tiger stadium) Now if any Bama or UT alum get copies you are screwed.

He will be cleared just like Cam, they would rather punish on the back end then to end TAMUs cash cow now.

Yea, he knows what kind of circumstantial evidence the NCAA has. The whole world has pretty strong circumstantial evidence in this case. We all know that he signed thousands and thousands of autographs for brokers, that's accepted fact at this point. That's strong circumstantial evidence as it's hard to imagine somebody doing that for free. What the NCAA likely doesn't have, and probably won't get, is hard evidence like financial transactions that they could "convict" him with.

NO NO NO NO
Seriously take the NCAA's perspective. Either allow him to play and the quality of the games will decrease or allow him to play and the hype continues.
Why do aTm fans continue to think the NCAA is out to suspend him at all costs? They aren't people, chill out.

I think your sarcasm meter is broken if you thought I was saying the NCAA wants to suspend him

9-3.....losses to Bama, LSU, and a scrub

I get that he will likely be cleared, I get that they have no hard evidence on the money. Having no strong circumstantial evidence, yeah that one I don't get.
