Ole Miss to Deny, Attorney involved "It is as close to a death penalty as you can get"

The University of Mississippi and its football coaching staff are expected to deny most of the 21 violations brought on by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, a person directly involved with case tells 44News Sports Director JoJo Gentry.
quote:
Four Level I violations listed in the NCAA’s Notice of Allegations on February 22, which can be read here, are against former Ole Miss Football staffer Barney Farrar, according to a source.
quote:
In addition to the four Level I violations against Farrar, Ole Miss and other staff have been charged with 17 other charges, including loss of institutional control.
quote:
All parties involved in the case submitted responses last week to the NCAA to meet the 90-day deadline following the Notice of Allegations posted on February 22. Those responses will not be released until sometime later this week.
quote:
While Ole Miss awaits a ruling on the alleged charges against the school and its football program, Loyd tells Gentry he is concerned Farrar has been singled out by Ole Miss decision-makers on the case to curry favor with the NCAA. Farrar is no longer on the Ole Miss payroll. The university is also no longer paying his attorney fees, so Farrar found legal counsel outside of what Ole Miss offered previously.
So they made an scapegoat.
Attorney invloved speaks out
quote:
“It is as close to a death penalty as you can get without having that actually happen,” Loyd said. “Coach Farrar has been questioned extensively, in fact, five times by the NCAA about those allegations.”

Might as well piss off the NCAA more, their recruiting has completely gone to shite anyways. Gotta play the long game at this point.

Did they get rid of him soon enough for this to work? Maybe this strategy will work. Hell, maybe it is was ole barney that was cheating while the rest of the staff was clean. Good luck Ole Miss.

This whole Ole Miss situation only exacerbates the suspicion of historically bad programs becoming good all of the sudden.

Lol no, this clown was retained even after allegations broke on him.

It is like Ole Miss is trying to find out what the harshest punishment that the NCAA will hand out since they will no longer do a TV ban or death penalty.

It looks like Farrar was assistant AD and fired December 2016. I don't think that solves the "lack of institutional control" charge.

Farrar was retained after lying to OM and NCAA, when finally caught in his own hoax, OM had no other option but to fire him.

But they waited till December of 2016 not May of 2016. Which means they just fired him because they had a disappointing season and thought they could get someone better

The allegations against Ole Miss are the same level of bullshite as Climate Change.

USC tried this strategy and got hammered by the NCAA and they did not have any coaching staff or administrative staff involved in giving players extra benefits. This will not end well for the Rebels

It's comical that you actually believe that.

I stand by my statement. I firmly believe climate change being real and a looming threat is just as likely as Ole Miss cheating and violating NCAA rules.
