re: The silence is telling re: Ole Miss

I get that if it was some investigative report or something. In this case we have the player openly admit to accepting cash from a coach on TV and is everywhere you look. The silence tells me that Tunsil is going to stick by his comment. If he misunderstood the question a statement clarifying that would have come out immediately. You know that and I know that. You wouldn't let it blow up to this point and then try to come back and say he misspoke. You've lost the battle at that point.

I don't disagree with your premise, but it's incomplete. There are all sorts of reasons Tunsil should delay making any more comments. Maybe Ole Miss needs him to recant, but maybe that's not in his best interest. Maybe he has already given information to the NCAA - don't forget he was a named participant in their current investigation - and he wants to make sure he doesn't come out with a lie that many people already know is false.
Silence is never "telling" when there are large sums of money and/or lawyers involved.
