In its investigation of whether or not Johnny Manziel accepted payment for autographs, the NCAA met with the Heisman-winning quarterback for about six hours Sunday, ESPN reported.

The meeting reportedly took place on Texas A&M University' (TAMU) College Station campus, but it is unclear if the investigators were pleased with the meeting. If not, then they could be back for another, either way; the investigation does not appear to be over.

Manziel is under investigation by the NCAA and TAMU for reports that he accepted payment from autograph brokers for signing several items to be sold online. While those items were found on eBay and numerous brokers and other unnamed sources have come forward, none have said they witnessed a transfer of money with Manziel.

Jim Darnell, an attorney hired by the Manziel family, did not comment on the current investigation. He has stated for weeks that Manziel will play in the season opener and for the whole season. If the NCAA finds evidence Manziel accepted payment for autographs and lied about it, he could be ruled ineligible for the whole season.

The Dallas Morning News reported Aggies head football coach Kevin Sumlin and athletic director Eric Hyman reference Manziel as the starter for Saturday's game against Rice. He has been listed as the starter on the depth chart released Monday and has been taking practice reps with the starting team.

However, Sumlin and Hyman also expressed they did not want to field questions about the investigation and that Manziel would not be available at Tuesday's pre-game news conference.

Last week, TAMU chancellor threw his support fully behind Manziel and said he was innocent.

"I know he's innocent," Sharp told KBTX's Steve Fullhart. "I know that he didn't do what [the NCAA] accused him of doing, and I think that it's time that we, once we knew what the facts are and we know the facts... and I've seen what everybody else has seen now, and the rest of the country is going to get to see that before it's over with."

That statement was following a letter the previous week from Hyman to the school's booster program, 12th Man Foundation, stating the athletic department's support of Manziel.

Hyman wrote: "Our foremost priority, regardless of the circumstances, is to protect and support our student-athletes while also upholding the integrity of the University and complying with NCAA rules and regulations."

ESPN's "Outside the Lines" initially broke the story about the NCAA investigation and has brought forward sources of its own. The sports news giants has come under fire for heavily relying on unnamed sources and not citing anyone who said they witnessed an actual payment to the college quarterback.

Still, OTL's last tally, Manziel had 4,400 items on the market with his signature, all signed in three states in less than a month.
