re: The silence is telling re: Ole Miss

They are in critical crisis mode. I can't even imagine what has been going on behind the scenes the last 20 hours. LT has likely told them to pound sand if they have pleaded with him to make a statement recanting anything. His attorney probably has him on lock down about opening his mouth to anyone moving forward. The best that OM can ask for is that LT agrees to go silent from now on.

Freeze and just about anyone involved, especially the two men in the IG, are in non stop meetings with the University President, the AD and a ton of advisors. These are not merely accusations that you confront with a canned statement. These are accusations with proof. This is about as bad as it can get and something unprecedented. Right now, the powers that be are just trying to determine the best course for the University. Clean house really soon and beg for mercy? Double down and continue the Mis-direction?

What a mess.
