re: Miss State LB Leo Lewis received $21,000 before National Signing Day from 2 SEC schools

I'm not going to read too much into this because things just go from bad, to worse, to our coach banging hookers, but if any of this is true I would think our lawyers would have a decent shot at getting the Lewis allegations taken out. They can still hammer us on the others, but if Lewis actually said he got paid $11K from his current school and the NCAA says they don't find that credible, but the $10K from Ole Miss is, that's just stupid. Why provide false accusations against your own school? The $650K might have been quoted from the mother correctly, but I'm sure she got confused about the actual amount and it was more like $65K.

The one school that comes out looking good in all of this is Bama. He was committed to Bama and seems like he had his hand out and playing the game and Bama said screw you, not worth it. Bama ends up in back to back championship games; Lewis ends up on a .500 team playing in Starkville, MS and surrounded by controversy and lawsuits; State, and LSU all get exposed for offering money and Ole Miss gets embarrassed by giving money to a kid they didn't even get and will get hammered by the NCAA for it.
