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.

OM fans act like the Lewis stuff is all the NCAA has. you guys have 15 (!) Level ONE violations. Take Lewis out of this mix and you still have double digit level ones.

you...are...screwed. Stop making posts trying to convince the rest of us to be blind to the facts and the obvious. You guys can keep lying to yourselves, but the rest of the SEC is firmly not in your corner.

Really "..."?? And we outsiders are suppose to just say "ohhhhh ok yeah nothing to see here" when "..." is used at a key point?? Whats the full comment??

This kid was given immunity, and by association so was msu regarding comments made about them. I know officially msu isnt protected, but i'm sure if something slipped out the ncaa would have said "lets keep our eyes on the prize OM, and not waste time." or gave him a wink wink we'll drop all the msu stuff on the edit floor.

Hard to find someone totally credible that is having to hide stuff about his current school, so his career isn't ruined though he has immunity protecting himself only.

I dont care about either om or msu, but from an outsider looking in it just doesn't pass muster that msu was a total angel in all of this. Where there is smoke there is fire at this point...
