"Mr. Nutt’s lawyer mentioned an apology in passing in a couple of conversations and in one email earlier this spring.

The University asked Mr. Nutt’s lawyer to identify statements for which Mr. Nutt wanted an apology," said Paul Stephenson, attorney for the university and the IHL board.

"Mr. Nutt’s lawyer never provided anything.

To be clear, this lawsuit was never about an apology. It is about money. But Ole Miss has paid Mr. Nutt everything that it ever owed him."

Nutt is suing because Ole Miss defamed his reputation. The athletic department and university as a whole is run by a group of uneducated hicks that can't even cheat correctly

Houston Nutt seeking apology from Ole Miss after NCAA violation reaction: 'It devastates you'

Sure looks like he wanted an apology to me. He demanded it in May and Ole Miss decided not to do it.

Honestly, Nutt had them either way because if Ole Miss would have apologized then that's admitting to defamation.

They unfairly slandered him. He should absolutely have sued them for monetary purposes.

Even now, after 3 years of putting out fake news and spinning, we find yet another Ole Miss fan refusing to accept they've been wrong about everything and is dug in deep. I want to buy you a beer.

Ole Miss refused to take responsibility for the NOA (yet again) and saw an opportunity to throw Nutt under the bus.

Let's be clear, Ole Miss had the NOA and before it was public, media outlets began to report that sources at OM claimed the majority of allegations occurred under Nutt.

What's more likely? The media made up the Nutt story (even though the bigger story would be if Freeze was the culprit) or that Bjork and others lied to buy themselves time and save their recruiting class?

I'm going with team Sleazeball on this one. OM administration has had dozens of opportunities to come clean and they still haven't. Freeze has fricked up so bad that it cost him his job and yet the truth still isn't public.

OM is stalling because the same thing that cost Freeze his job is going to sink the entire university. Book it.

the best apologies are the ones that come with tons of money.

Ok I'll say it, Ole Miss is unequivocally fricked. But really, what's just as bad is the embarrassment the University will have to tote on a grand scale for many many years to come.

Nutt has money to burn. Even if he doesn't win one thin dime from Ole Miss, and I am fairly certain he'll at least get his attorney fees covered, he got to watch them twist in the wind while he uses them as a pinata.

I think the request for public apologies from Freeze and your AD were where OM was unwilling to concede. Soooo you're wrong runt.
