I want more details. 1 call for 1 minute? Their must be more to this
Prior to signing day in 2016, Freeze and Ole Miss began floating a rumor that most of the infractions they were facing were from Houston Nutt's tenure as coach. They obviously did this to protect their recruiting class. It was all a lie. Nutt recently asked for an official apology from Freeze & Ole Miss, but they declined, so he sued for defamation. His lawsuit asked for Freeze's phone records from several days in Jan. '16. He suspected Freeze was calling reporters and feeding them false information.
Freeze was allowed to redact personal calls before handing over the records to Nutt's lawyers. He probably gave his lawyers a list of phone numbers belonging to his family, friends, escorts, and madams and claimed they were personal. His lawyers then went through the printouts of his phone logs and blacked out any of those calls. Except they missed a single call to a number associated with an escort.
That number wasn't called only one time. You can't make contact with an escort and arrange anything in less than a minute. But you can leave a message, or call to inform her you are running late, or you are in room 416.
That number and short phone call raised suspicions. I'm assuming that number was called multiple times, but the other calls were redacted. Hugh was allowed to redact personal calls, but he had his lawyers redact a bunch of nefarious calls & numbers. That one minute call gave Nutt's lawyers ammunition. His lawyer recently told reporters about the escort number. Reporters then asked Ole Miss about it. Freeze claimed it was a mis-dial, but Ole Miss officials began digging deeper into his phone logs and obviously found a lot of damning evidence.

Ole Miss went through 39000 phone calls per some of the articles that have come out. That's not something Freeze could have done without a team of attorneys helping him
The calls he reviewed from the FOIA were only from a 6-day period in January 2016 - he forgot to redact one phone number from that 6-day period. That's how it got exposed bc that's all Nutt's lawyers requested.
Freeze and his lawyers were never asked to review 39,000 phone calls.

They did this since last week.
Also, this shows you the competency of their compliance department, that a attorney for someone else can find it, but they cant.

I think y'all are missing the point. The man called for phone sex and still only lasted a minute.

1 call to an escort and 1 minute duration? A wrong number is definately a reasonable assumption in this instance
And no corrected phone call for 12 minutes? How often do you make a wrong call and then fail to correct it?

How often does it take you to realize you have made a wrong phone call? Does he sit there and listen to the greeting for one minute or is he apologizing for making an incorrect phone call? either way, neither take a minute

To be fair, most phone records will show a call duration in whole minutes only, IIRC. If he hung up in 10 seconds, it probably still counted as a minute.
His bigger problem is no corrected call immediately after.
