Manziel Reportedly Denies Wrongdoing

(College Station, TX) -- Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel is denying he was compensated for signing autographs. CBSSports.com cites a source as saying the reigning Heisman Trophy winner told the NCAA he did not accept money from brokers for signing memorabilia. Head coach Kevin Sumlin says he's not prepared to say whether Manziel will play in Saturday's season opener against Rice.

ESPN reported that Manziel met with NCAA investigators for six hours Sunday after allegations he received money for different signing sessions, including at the BCS National Championship Game in January. Manziel's eligibility could come into question as the sixth-ranked Aggies host Rice Saturday. If Manziel plays and is later ruled ineligible by the NCAA, Texas A&M would forfeit those games.
