Former Rebel, Trey Lamar, pushing back on the NCAA

If you think about it, this is a massive waste of taxpayer money devoted to an unending investigation. The NCAA needs to provide information to the state that the expense of keeping lawyers digging is justified. If not, the state has every right to hand them a big invoice for a few million.

Maybe this makes too much damn sense.

The school is the states responsibility financially. This is costing the tax payers money. And is placing a major financial burden on the school.

It would stand to reason the state could dictate how and when an outside entity could run up expenses unnecessarily at one of it's state schools.

The NCAA is holding up the state for millions of dollars in attorney's fees to what amounts to less than $50,000 dollars worth of benefits.

If you come looking and you can't find the paper trail then you leave and come back when you have sufficient suspicion to re open the investigation.

Either that or you stay the frick out of Oxford, Hattiesburg and Starkville.

They came to investigate the women's basketball team and decided to peek into Ole Miss football after they landed a top 5 recruiting class. This is just bullshite. Now they look like fools and are hanging around in an attempt to justify their means. Guess what, you stupid fricks, while you were there we hauled in another top 10 class while you were investigating.

So, unless you can justify the millions of dollars spent on attorney fees with some strong incriminating evidence of money being paid directly to athletes, the state should sue them for punitive damages to their member school.

They aren't hanging around cause they found something new, they are hanging around because they can't find anything new and they need to justify their time spent.

They could go to any Power 5 school and find similar infractions at any of those schools. Why didn't they run over to Alabama and start investigating them?

This is a power play from up top, the SEC is allowing, so schools they hold dear will regain their edge.

Money was exchanged for Cam Newton to play at Auburn. The SEC stepped in and changed it's own by laws in order for Cam to keep his eligibility. The NCAA did jack shite to stop them. What, just because State snitched on Auburn, the NCAA believes everything they say? What the hell State was going to pay for his services also.

Oh, by the way. In the SEC, you can pay money to the mothers and fathers, as long as the player doesn't know about it, he can still play.

So the players don't know nothin' about no money, but the moms and dads probably do.

Auburn should have been stripped of their NC title for playing an illegal player under their rules. Why the NCAA's rules didn't supersede the SEC's newly interpreted rule change of the player having to know someone received money is beyond me.

It's a clear case of preferential treatment by the SEC and NCAA over not penalizing one member school and attempting to penalize another.

Sue their asses to hell and back, if they can't find the money that was being paid to players. It better be way more than $350 for an electric bill, a $500 loan to his step dad from a stupid booster and a loaner car from another booster.

I call Bull shite and the state of Mississippi should demand a fricking refund from the NCAA.

I like it a lot. This is state government not Ole Miss firing at NCAA! The NCAA stands the chance of every state implementing this if they don't s€# or get off the pot, and do it now!

Wait wait, don't stop now we have another accusation by madam butterfly that freeze had Russian prostitutes peeing in beds somewhere. Very very reliable source! This is the intel we have al been waiting for!...

Lamar likely wrote the bill himself on his own time. Legislators technically are only on the clock from Jan. 3 to April 2 minus most of Monday, most Fridays and the weekend. So the only real time that's being wasted was about to 10 seconds to scan in the bill and maybe another couple minutes that the committee burns to discuss it. If there's no interest you are out 2 minutes and 10 seconds. If there is interest, then it wasn't a waste of time.

The NCAA is voluntary membership. Because we are members, Ole Miss brings in tens of millions per year. I doubt they are actually worried about a couple million over the course of half a decade.

I would argue the real waste in taxpayer money is wasting time on things like this that will never see the light of day just to garnish favor with his constituents.. He should be much more worried about Mississippi's crumbling education and healthcare systems.
