The absolute best part of this entire saga is the Ole Miss fans continuously saying something along the lines of:
"If it was really as bad as you are saying, don't you think the administration would have..."
"Heads would have already rolled if..."
"It's not that big of a deal because Ole Miss hasn't yet..."
Each step of the way, they are clinging to the lack of action on the part of the Ole Miss administration as "proof" that things aren't as bad as they seem. Yet each time something more comes out, the OM administration is looking more and more inept.

So you think the NCAA had all this stuff on OM but only sent a first letter to tease them? You think they had all this stuff on us but then decided later to add a terrible precedent like giving players at other team/ immunity to snitch? And given the university knows more than we all do, they decided to wait until now to take a guy off the road. Obviously new info has come about.

bullshite. No good bagman giveth the cash until the player has signed the LOI.
If that was the total amount, I'd be skeptical. If that was a down payment to hold him over until the signature, then that sounds about right. 10k for an elite recruit like Leo seems low.
But with his name dragged through this, I'm glad he decommitted. We have too much to lose to deal with that bullshite.

Yeah, OM fans were right all along. They were doing no cheating. It was all a witch hunt based on women's basketball.
Y'all keep believing that. We'll just keep laughing at you

Before he started organizing recruiting visits with the OM coaches, providing transportation, meals and his home for visits?

How is it a terrible precedent? Its not like the NCAA hasn't done stuff like this before
Posted on 11/17/16 at 12:39 pm to CCTider
The bad thing is everyone and their brother knew about this. I posted the shite on this board the day after he committed and it was laughed at, which to be fair I would have reacted the same way.
It was well known that Leo privately committed to State when he dropped Bama. No clue how they were stupid enough to pay him for just a commitment knowing all of this.

I believe that they were giving you every opportunity to adequately address the issues yourselves, come clean and suffer the consequences of what they initially brought to the table.
Your administration decided to try and call their bluff, they took away the lube.

The worst part of this whole saga is that it shows just how cottupt the NCAA is. Did Ole Miss cheat? Probably so. To what extent? There's the rub. We did no more really than any other school that wants to compete in the power five and there have been other schools that have done much worse. (Miami anyone? Louisville?) For what ever reason we will get probably get hammered while other institutions seem to get a slap on the wrist or a free pass. The inconsistancy is infuriating.

How is everyone so sure it is Leo Lewis who is talking? Just curious.

I don't necessarily disagree with your view. But imo, historically, teams who attempted to climb the ladder as quickly as OM did get harsher treatment than ordinary violators.
It's not just that y'all jumped up. You jumped too far, too fast, too brashly.
You flew too close to the sun

Except OM comtinued to cheat even after investigations started. They basically put up theirs middle finger and shouted "frick you" to the NCAA. The NCAA tolerates a lot but it does not tolerate being made to look foolish.

If you were doing no more than "any other school who wants to compete" then your recruiting success wouldn't have spiked. If you're on the same level as everyone else, and stay on the same level as everyone else, that massive spike doesn't happen.
Results do not alter without change in the process. Organic changes to the process like hiring a coach, winning games, or putting a high % of guys in the league improve results gradually and take time. Almost all results at the program level lag behind the change. There are really only a few outliers. One being if you really made a dramatic process change, like hiring Saban or Meyer, which wasn't the case in this scenario. Another is changing status, like moving up to D1 or moving into a better conference. Again, not the case here. There is really only one other way to make your school dramatically more attractive to a player than it was just a year or two before, you add incentive that they aren't getting everywhere else.
Recruiting comes down to what you can offer and who you are, the latter of those doesn't happen over night and there are only a few ways to quickly change the former.
