And specific to the FCA Director......why didn't Ole Miss Compliance just simply get the man vetted through the NCAA before they accepted his assistance and allowed him to organize meetings, transportation, meals, etc. to prospective recruits and their families?


Because our Compliance Dept was completely incompetent. Freeze and Heard had dealt with the guy while at Arkansas State and continued their relationship when they came to Ole Miss. In reality the student athlete in question was a 2* DT that they had recruited at Arky State and gave him a s holly when they moved to Ole Miss because he was a good kid. Plus when Ole Miss did identify the issue and report it to the NCAA the guy refused to stop because he believed he wasn't influencing the kid in a negative way and that FCA was exempt to the 9th grade rule.

I am at a lost why anyone thinks Bama is behind this investigation. This is because the investigator that took over after the Tunsil draft night situation had a huge bone to pick with CHF and had someone spoon feeding her.

Long story short we will likely get pounded by the COI but what they "found" over a +4 year investigation is nearly laughable. No one can say with a straight face that their own school wouldn't suffer the same exact thing if the NCAA did likewise at their school.

Couple that statement with the shenanigans of Barney Farrar (Asst Athletic Director) and the LOIC could be justified.

If your Compliance Dept sucks arse and your Atletic Dept has a staffer facilitating impermissible contact and benefits between boosters and recruits, then Ole Miss has no control over the Institution.
