Surely we aren't going to settle with that guy, right?
Does he actually have a case?

I hope we don't, but then again I don't want anymore shite uncovered as a byproduct of battling him and his attorneys.

I will lose a lot of respect for our administration if they actually give him what he wants

I hope his lawyer finds every bit of dirt on all of these guys, and promptly releases all of it. I've been tired of cheating rumors for 4 years now, and to find out they've been mostly true is irritating.
Also, the chancellor followed me on Twitter this morning, and I'm not going to follow back, because frick all of them.

Mars has stated that he wants to re-file in the state of Mississippi.
I talked about this on a thread on tRant, but does anyone know what Nutt is after? Freeze is gone, and now that Mars has dropped the monetary compensation part of the suit, what is it that he and Nutt wish to gain from the lawsuit?

Gonna park this here, cuz its probably going to get crazy. Pete thamelfrom SI in June '16:
"Few will argue that the allegations related to ACT fraud during Nutt's tenure are the most serious of the charges against Ole Miss. The fraud was allegedly orchestrated by former Ole Miss staff member David Saunders and assistant coach Chris Vaughn in 2010, according to the Notice of Allegations. The Notice states that three Ole Miss recruits were guided to a rural Mississippi testing center by Vaughn. According to the NCAA, Saunders arranged for the ACT testing supervisor to "complete and/or alter their exam answer sheets." The recruits experienced five to eight-point jumps in their test scores. (Saunders has already been given an eight-year show-cause penalty by the NCAA for orchestrating an ACT fixing scheme at the same testing center and providing extra benefits to a recruit while at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.)
Vaughn was fired earlier this year by the University of Texas for his role in the case against Ole Miss, which included an allegation of interfering with the NCAA investigation by communicating with an NCAA witness. Saunders was fired by ULL and now coaches at Pearl River Community College.
It's difficult to project the potential punishments tied to Ole Miss's four Level I allegations considering they are six years old and happened under the last staff. Ole Miss admits to the allegations in its response to the NCAA, but maintains: "This fraud was an isolated occurrence planned, directed, and/or carried out by two rogue staff members long-since separated from the University."
Ole Miss has already self-imposed penalties—taking away 11 football scholarships, disciplining Kiffin and fellow assistant Maurice Harris by limiting their recruiting, disassociated four boosters, paid a fine of $159,325 and placed itself on three years probation.
One outside lawyer, Tyrone Thomas of Mintz Levin in Washington, D.C., considers those "large starting points" for the framework of the penalty structure. (All three outside lawyers SI spoke to generally agreed that Ole Miss has done a thorough job putting together the case in its response to the allegations.)
Ole Miss opens its football season with games against Florida State, Wofford and Alabama. If the Rebels lose two of those three, it's reasonable to consider that they'd self-impose a postseason ban in the same manner than Syracuse and Louisville's basketball programs have done in recent years. That would serve as both a preemptive strike toward a more significant NCAA penalty and potentially help the program move forward.
Ole Miss has still not fired any football coaches, which could lead to skepticism by the NCAA of whether the school has sufficiently acknowledged the extent of its missteps. "Schools are probably not doing what they would have issued under the old system," Buckner said. "You really don't know. Why penalize yourself when the hearing panel may not impose them?"
The final narrative of the case against Ole Miss will be written when the Committee on Infractions decides the football program's ultimate fate. It's not an overstatement to project that the repercussions of the difference between the NCAA finding smoke and fire in Case No. 189693 will reverberate through college sports for years to come.
