I heard all the same kind of shit when Clarett was mouthing off 9 years ago, and his accusations were followed by those of several ex-players who had axes to grind or had become criminals. In the end, NOTHING was found despite two NCAA investigations.

I realize that's then and this is now, but I'm seeing much the same kind of unsubstantiated crap being thrown out there, and players being linked to stuff without one shred of real proof. Thank God the NCAA doesn't judge on hearsay and has a bit higher standard than what's allowed to be published without corroboration in this country.

Kind of weird to force him to resign based on Tattoogate and unsubstantiated rumors.

If players were paid money from a company for a job that they never had to show up for then you will be involving the IRS, they just love to come in and audit the books of companies involved in bad behavior and they always find something wrong, then the deal making begins and more people are implicated in other things not yet released.
