He says he took $10,000 from an Ole Miss booster the day before signing day. “Additionally, new documentation submitted to the Committee on Infractions by attorneys for Ole Miss claims Lewis told NCAA enforcement he took $11,000 in benefits from his current school, Mississippi State. Unlike Lewis, Mississippi State cannot receive conditional immunity for any former, current, or future statements its current player makes.”

Bagmen must be a foreign concept in the state of Mississippi.

You are leaving out the part where they mentioned that they opened an investigation and closed it because nothing was there.


This is an article by an OM writer recycling what they put in their response to the NOA, plain and simple. The response that the NCAA gave them a big FU on.

hahah
Remember Godfrey went to OM and wrote the handbook on bagmen back in 2014. I believe everything he and OM administrators have to say right now.

Wow, if true how Ms St is almost as dumb as Ole Miss for not sitting him down beforehand and telling him what not to say.

So Ole Miss is claiming this. If he told the NCAA then why does Ole Miss need to tell the NCAA again?

Edit: I see from above it looks like the NCAA doesn't want to use it against MSST.

Don't forget this part:

quote:

On August 16, attorneys representing Ole Miss wrote a letter addressed to COI chairman Greg Christopher, AD for Xavier University, which requested access to a separate NCAA investigation into Mississippi State. The letter, which was obtained by SB Nation, alleges that NCAA enforcement confirmed to Ole Miss that they had “quickly opened and subsequently closed” the investigation because Lewis’s statements about receiving money from Mississippi State were deemed to be “ultimately... not sufficiently credible to support an allegation.”

The claim is directly at odds with enforcement seemingly doubling down on their belief that Lewis’ statements about receiving benefits from Ole Miss were credible. As recently as the enforcement staff’s July 21 response to the COI, the NCAA has stood by Lewis as credible. “Lewis consistently provided credible and reliable information during the investigation,” enforcement wrote on July 21.
