re: Ole Miss fans, question.

“(C)oach Farrar was led to believe that the University, coach Freeze, and himself would all be working together as a team to show that the allegations against (Farrar) were completely baseless and without merit,” Loyd wrote. “Based on the content of the University’s response, obviously, that was not the case. … University decision makers decided to lay the blame on coach Farrar in an attempt to deflect the NCAA’s probe from them and offer up coach Farrar as a sacrifice to curry favor with the NCAA.”

After Farrar was fired in December 2016, Ole Miss continued to pay his salary through the end of his contract on March 31, 2017, and his legal fees. That, Loyd wrote, left the former assistant athletic director for junior college and high school relations believing that there still was a unified approach to fighting allegations against Farrar.
