Not sure how his testimony will be used......



And this is what has the OleMiss administration scared colorless. Hugh and the boys knew exactly what was going on, from Hugh's days there last time around. It's spread to coaches/administrators at other schools that also served under Hugh while this was going on....

Again, if it's as minor as Bjork has repeatedly boasted, why not release the NOA? Multiple schools, multiple coaches, and multiple offenses. It's not going to be pretty.

If I had to guess, it's going to be along the lines of what USC got, with the added sanction of a pretty serious show cause period for Freeze.

The NCAA was already on campus, Tunsil was suspended for seven games, the altercation with his stepdad and its aftermath was out there, so Ole Miss' 2016 class took a big hit?
Perception may have dropped that class from #5 to #7; it's always possible.


That was before Tunsil admitting to getting paid on national television.

Do the media hound FSU's recruits with questions like, "Are you a potential rapist?" FSU's recruiting is rolling right along.



FSU is not the same thing as Ole Miss. They are a blue blood program, journalists in the sport will actually protect them because "college football is better when FSU is good."

Meanwhile Ole Miss is the upstart that is trying to crash the blue blood party by cheating. People don't take kindly to that, so they will go out of their way to hassle Ole Miss recruits to "fix" the problem.

Completely disagree...based not on OM being an "up-start" but Ole Miss being from Mississippi. The Religious Liberty legislation signed into law this spring in MS has the entire country lampooning the state, and the NCAA trying to prevent State and OM from hosting regionals in baseball. Moreover, Mississippi's refusal to remove the confederate flag from its state flag is seen as bad nationally as well.

Ole Miss is an easy target, not because they are not a "blue-blood" program, but because they are from a state that is really easy to criticize at the moment.

If the NCAA pours the coals to Ole Miss, nationally, no one will bat an eye.

That is the "X factor" here that if I were an Ole Miss fan, I would be very concerned about. There are force multipliers in play for them that would only be in play for a few other schools...State being one of them.

Blue blood?

Ole Miss had a winning football program when FSU was a girls' school.

It's always refreshing to find intelligence on this board.

Eh, I don't think the SEC sports media cares about that. Maybe the New York Times is pissed at the state, but The New York Times won't be trying to interview Ole Miss commitments. At most they will do a big expose that won't lead to dick and then move on.

What will screw Ole Miss is the fact that SEC football journalists (locally and nationally) are front running fans for the most part. Unlike all other parts of journalism where the reporters pretend to be impartial, in college football we get a guy or three for every major program that does nothing but follow that program and therefore ties their fates to the success of that program.

It will be these jock sniffers who hound Ole Miss recruits when they commit to Ole Miss and not the Texas or Alabama that they cover. It will be these guys who make life hell for anyone associated with Ole Miss.

An Sec West terrorist mad his team can't beat freeze will crash Sec media days. Freeze wil be beheaded live on Sec Media week this summer, and Ross Bork will be disembowled. ESPN will say that it was compelling television and this is what makes SEC media week fun. airing it all live because that's what the terrorists want and ESPN loves generating some ratings.

The astute and educated community on the Rant will decide that these punishments were minimal and that Ole Miss should forfeit its right to University status and become a Nuclear Test site and hopefully wipe out the state of MS after a future Chernobyl incident.



After said Nuclear Disater .... Of course the rant will not feel empathy because they beat my football team and they wasn't supposed too. Because our team never cheats or takes things out of context.

Those are the NCAA consequences. The real-world consequence will be the cash-flow to players will be drastically reduced (OM fans can cut the crap if they say this isn't happening - I personally know a wealthy OM fan that gives money to players already on campus


I know for a fact other sec schools do the exact same thing, (looking at you Uga) but even if I had some proof other than players telling me I wouldn't do anything with it. These dudes are destroying their bodies for a scholarship and refrained from making money, which is stupid so who am I to get all pissed about some hundred dollar handouts.

We'll find out in September.

Until then, no, I do not equate "blue bloods" with "current powerhouses". Blue blood connotes a long history.
