I am puzzled about something: The NOA lists in charge number 8 a total of 16 incidents of illegal inducements, many of which involved Harris and/or Kiffin. The amounts were generally trivial, but there was a clear pattern, which one would assume is why this was deemed as a Level I violation. I'm not sure how these are classified by Freeze as mere mistakes since even the most casual fans know that there are strict rules about providing benefits. One of the incidents occurred at Freezes's house, and on another occasion Freeze was told by (name deleted) that (name deleted)'s son was providing academic tutoring to a recruit. Was Freeze that oblivious?
Here is what puzzles me. Was the Ole Miss coaching staff actually ignorant of the rules, of which even the most casual fans have some inkling? Did Ole Miss even provide its staff with the most minimal training? If we are to believe Freeze that there was no intent, there seems to be a high level of incompetence and gross mismanagement, and/or willful ignorance at best. I can't see the NCAA looking at this "we broke the rules but really were well-intentioned" line of defense with much sympathy.

they are required to have compliance classes etc so I see it being 100% inconceivable that they did not know they were doing wrong?

That is a great post. Thanks.

"Cheating" becomes a "mistake" after you get caught.
Rev. Freeze tearfully says "I have sinned!" He would make Jimmy Swaggert proud.
