The silence is telling re: Ole Miss

No statements or denial from Freeze. No statements from Tunsil. Bland, generic statement from Ole Miss themselves. Freeze deletes tweet about reporting infractions. Tunsil's camp clams up and we've heard nothing trying to take back and/or clarify his statements from last night.
Look, I genuinely think he was overwhelmed and didn't consciously admit to anything, but approaching noon the following day and hearing nothing from him or his camp is telling.
This is really happening. Tunsil is going to stand by his comments and Ole Miss is fricked from a national perception standpoint and hopefully an NCAA standpoint as well.

The calm before the death penalty

If Tunsil doesn't recant what he said, true or not, he's an a-hole throwing the school under the bus. You can't deny its a shitty thing to do because it doesn't hurt him to say nothing

The infractions aren't even a big deal anymore. The cover up is what is going to ruin them.

Freeze cannot tell a lie. Other than, "Come to Ole Miss, we win championships."

They are so fricked.

That's the best thing they can do right now. Did you really expect a response so quickly? That's what got Tunsil in trouble in the first place. The biggest mistake made last night IMO was allowing Tunsil to speak to the media at all last night after all this came out.

There's a conflict of interest in play here. Sexton is the agent for both Freeze and Tunsil.

The silence isn't telling at all. Whenever anything happens in this day and age that gets a huge reaction, everybody buttons up to talk with their PR experts and lawyers before going out on a limb with anything. Just standard operating now.

Not really. In this day and age, clamming up and letting the lawyers and PR flacks do their job is SOP for any smart organization in a bad situation. At best, you should just say that you're working on examining the issue and doing your due diligence. The temptation to deny, deny, deny is strong, but wrong. If there's even a minor correlation between reality and the accusations, you come off as looking like you're covering things up. So stay quiet, get the right people together, then make a considered, carefully-worded statement to the effect that you intend to get to the bottom of this. It'll be the university proper, not the athletic department, that will be dealing with the public. In that case, it's probably even sincere -- I seriously doubt any coaches actually told the PTB and the lawyers in administration of any wrongdoings. So the administration and its legal team can very honestly project an image of not knowing anything and needing time to investigate. Obviously they had to suspect, but suspicion isn't knowledge.
