re: The Tunsil issue

To use anything Tunsil said or did, the NCAA has to personally interview him.

Really? They apparently have authenticated the text exchange. The NCAA can certainly ask the coaches what Tunsil said or did that they heard or saw. And that information about what he said or did can no doubt be used. I am no expert on NCAA procedure, but I would suspect that hearsay rules don't apply, or at least not with the same rigor as in a court. Even if hearsay rules apply, there are exceptions that would allow the use of what Tunsil said, in part because at that point it falls on Ole Miss to explain what it did or didn't do in response to those texts from Tunsil. The coaches may lie, but they had better hope there aren't more texts that can be retrieved from communications between Tunsil and the Ole Miss staff that would be damning. And they had better have a more plausible explanation than what has been offered by some on the Rant of what they understood Tunsil was asking for in the texts and how they responded.
