[RunLeeRun]

If they cut 11 schollies themselves and they slip it in right when everybody is talking about Baylor. When you know how to cheat.....

The fine art of distraction. I hope they didn't get hurt slapping themselves on the wrist...

That's laughable.

Whatever this round of self-punishment is, it doesn't include anything with Tunsil. They tried blowing smoke before saying most of this stuff happened prior to Huge Freebies, but that isn't so. They want to get away with pink-wrist but there could be more to come and certainly the negative recruiting is going to amp up.

Ole Miss and Baylor are kind of doing the same thing right now. They wouldn't be firing their coaches and self-imposing penalties on themselves if they didn't feel like they had some shit hitting the fan in front of them. Most likely in the eyes of the NCAA, if Freeze was truly ignorant of all of these infractions under his watch (unlikely), Ole Miss will still be held accountable. It's like with Bob Stoops a few years ago and the Bomar incident. I seriously doubt Stoops knew Bomar was getting paid for those ghost hours worked. But in the eyes of the NCAA he's still responsible for the conduct of his team and staff because of his position. In Baylor's case, the President on down knew about all of the transgressions going on and refused to do anything about it. Which to me looks like lack of institutional control. Baylor's already hired the best legal team money can buy to get in front of this, because it's sure looking like it could turn into another Penn State. As for Ole Miss, I'm not sure what's going to happen to them beyond the wrist slapping. But a guy I talk to all the time that is close to that program said a couple months ago that the shit is going to hit the fan with Ole Miss, and I posted it in here. I don't think the NCAA is going to impose any death penalty type of punishment on them, but I know they aren't done with them yet either. The bigger question will be if Freeze keeps his job. Here's a Bruce Feldman article on Houston Nutt's reaction to the infractions. http://www.foxsports.com/college-fo...taste-of-vindication-in-ole-miss-probe-052716

I find this part pretty hilarious

Ole Miss said in its response that it has “demonstrated an extraordinary level of initiative and cooperation throughout this process,” arguing that it’s an example of exemplary cooperation.

Laughable. These guys along with Baylor should get hammered. Teams have done far less, and gotten hammered much more. With respect to Baylor, there is a CLEAR lack of Institutional Control. Hell they had a basketball player kill another player a few years back and the head coach try to cover it up. Add the current set of actions and I don't see how this is not institutional

Ole Miss is dirty as hell. They have never been relevant and they should be brought back to where they belong.

Pretty damn relevant to us Bama fans. They have beat us back-to-back the past two years.

I don't get to excited one way or the other over Mississippi's problems. Freeze AIN'T going to be fired and
Ole Miss will be pretty damn good this season. After that...we shall see/worry about at a later time, not 2016.

 

[Albatross]

My point exactly. They are snagging players they normally would not be getting. Why....because they are dirty. I think the hammer will still come down. They got caught red handed. 5-7 schollys per year for 4-5 years and a 3 year post season ban. Its one thing for boosters to be playing the game, but HC and admin should try to stay out of that.

Albert...please give us (forum) the name of Ole Miss (dirty players).

We know one for sure....help the forum with others my friend.

Bashing Mississippi may be the favor of the day...but make sure
your order has some substance before spouting................

 

[RunLeeRun]

See this is why the saying is "three people can keep a secret if two are dead". If true, and even Tunsil has admitted to some of it, then we can safely assume it isn't an isolated event. Just a matter of time before more cracks appear.


Laremy Tunsil's stepfather describes elaborate benefits Ole Miss gave family

The Ole Miss firestorm continues to grow.
Lindsey Miller, left tackle Laremy Tunsil's stepfather, went into great detail with Sports Illustrated on the benefits and perks his family received while Tunsil was on the Rebels football team.
Some of the allegations Miller detailed against Ole Miss:

• The school has an elaborate method of getting boosters to pay for hotels, offer loans and give out cash when Tunsil's family visited Oxford, Miss.
• Miller's estranged wife and Tunsil's mother, Desiree Polingo, and her two sons from another relationship moving from Lake City, Fla., to Oxford at Ole Miss coaches' and boosters' expense.
• The program paid for one family to move into a new home in Oxford and gave one player's mother a job.
• All of the extra benefits Tunsil and his family received covered nearly a three-year span.
• Miller spent more than 100 hours talking to the NCAA and said that they would visit him "every day ... for two to three weeks" to get all details of his statements.

Miller — who says he has bank statements, texts, emails and Facebook messages that back up his claims — had already been on the record about the benefits he and his family enjoyed. However, Miller is estranged from Tunsil and is currently separated from Polingo, largely due to the allegations he is making.
He was also involved in a domestic dispute with Tunsil last summer, in which Tunsil said he was protecting his mother, while Miller claimed he was protecting himself against Tunsil
"[Miller] continued receiving his pension, child support and military benefits. Why he keeps telling people that Ole Miss promised us something or did something wrong is beyond me, and frankly makes me very angry," Polingo told SI through an attorney.
After Miller's initial claims, Tunsil later admitted that some of the allegations were true.

Laremy Tunsil is a whore who used Ole Miss more than they tried to use him.

Tunsil is a million dollar baby now with the NFL....

RunLee....tell us what should happen to Mississippi...death penalty maybe?

 

[RunLeeRun]

All players, coaches, admins, fanbases are using somebody to some extent. But shouldn't there be punishment for breaking the rules? I don't advocate the death penalty, there isn't any need for that any more. In today's environment, when a scandal breaks, it's almost as if the death penalty is self imposed....see Baylor. But Ol Miss seems to be slippery and it helps when you can air your laundry behind a bigger distraction (again thanks Baylor). That slight of hand seems to be a SEC tactic, though. Take Alabama for example. They self report some piddly violations that don't amount to much if anything. But the fact that they have to do it on the 11th hour right before a national holiday.....dare I say it seems like something out of Hillary's playbook, eh?

Man RLR, you hurt my feelings comparing a winner like Nick Saban to a loser
like Hillary Clinton. Digging deep are we?
