This article contains some more inflammation. I mean information.

“I know nothing,” Freeze said.

I’ll be very quick to come out and defend us when it’s something that we know the facts on. I don’t at this present time. I know our administration is working, and I’m told they made a lot of progress, that they’re collecting everything so they know exactly what the facts are before we run out and make any type of response.

“I’m trying to be patient, like I said in my opening statement. That’s difficult for me sometimes because you want to respond. But there’s great wisdom in being patient and making sure you get the facts, and we’re still in that process. Our administration will continue to work with all the parties to reach a conclusion as soon as possible, which we’re hopeful that’s coming quickly.”

“I think (whether Tunsil’s comment impacts the NCAA process) depends on what the facts reveal,” Freeze said. “(Bjork and I) haven’t even discussed the next step. You get the facts first and then you’ll know a lot more after that what they are.

However I do believe he was actively avoiding being aware of such actions.

From Websters Dictionary:
"Lack of Institutional Control - V "Actively avoiding being aware of such actions"

I guess he learned to be patient and gather facts between the "we're all proud of Laremy for defending his mother" and now.

More like waiting for the Ole Miss version of the facts to be cooked up. I'm sure they had them until draft night and then had to go back to the drawing board. That 30 day extension turned out to be a blessing after all.

Why would it be a secret?

This makes it crystal clear that they had no idea about it before his tv admission. And that it was definetly not part of the previous investigation.

Whaddya know? Someone else on this board understands how the system works.

Every HC knows he cannot recruit successfully if an effective shadow system is not in place, but he never wants to know who or how.

The plausible deniability approach doesn't really work anymore. Pete Carroll "didn't know". Larry Brown "didn't know". Rick Pitino "didn't know".

---

The burden of responsibility for reporting violations has shifted and the NCAA is getting serious about holding coaches responsible for preventing, detecting and reporting NCAA rules violations. Beginning August 1, the NCAA board of directors will allow head coaches to be penalized individually for violations committed by their assistants, unless they can prove they took preventive steps to acknowledge potential violations.

Like watching the defense of a criminal, when the lawyer waits until he has all the discovery.....then crafts his defense the best way he can around what they can prove, can't prove or don't know.

The problem may lie in the "hacker" and what they know........Ole Miss and Freeze are not sure what to say right now, when the "hacker" might release something that could counter it. So instead, it's all quite.........

Man this 30 for 30 is setting up to be good.....I mean Emmy good !!!
