Don't be naive. The COI has already ordered an investigation into Mississippi State while looking at Ole Miss, so we know they will do that. They don't seem satisfied that the investigation was thorough enough and want to talk to Lewis. Do you actually think if additional details are offered to the COI about violations from another school that they won't turn around and order another investigation again? They have the authority to order an investigation of other programs, they have done it and will again if needed. Right now Mississippi State should be concerned, very concerned. LSU may have something to worry about, we'll see after the COI.

Since you're the expert, can you show me where the COI orders investigations?

"The NCAA infractions process begins with rules proposed, considered and adopted by NCAA members. These rules focus on elegibility, recruiting, academic performance, playing and practive seasons, scholarships, and extra benefits. Violations of these rules fall into four categories (Level I, II, III, and IV), with Level I being the most serious in Division I and two categories (major and secondary) in Divisions II and III. When a school or a college athlete
duals, and presents and conferences handle
Level III and IV/secondary violations. Then, the COI considers the facts of the case and the positions of all parties. Membersof the committee deliberate, conclude if violations occurred, prescribe appropriate penalties, then issue a written decision. That decision can be reviewed by the appropriate division’s Infractions Appeals Committee if a school or involved individual does not agree with the COI’s findings, conclusions or penalties."

"The COI's and OCOI's involvement in an infractions case typically begins with the issuance of the notice of allegations. Upon the issuance of the notice of allegations and notification from the enforcement staff to the OCOI that a case is ready to be scheduled for hearing, an appearance letter is generated from the OCOI to the institution and involved parties."

"The Division I Committee on Infractions is an independent administrative body charged with deciding infractions cases involving NCAA member institutions and their employees."

For those who wish to know how the COI can launch an investigation. First, they would get the testimony of Leo Lewis and ask him about payments from other schools. If he said yes and gave details, based on his testimony, they would amend the NOA on Ole Miss. Then they would order the investigation. Anyway, if Lewis got up there and said yes, I received money from other schools the NCAA would just sit there? In your dreams! Here are the procedures: DIVISION I COMMITTEE ON INFRACTIONS: INTERNAL OPERATING PROCEDURES
July 19, 2017
19.7.4. If the amendment is immaterial to the allegation and agreed to by all parties
affected by the allegation, the enforcement staff shall submit an errata
memorandum detailing the nature of the change and the amended pages from the
notice of allegations to OCOI for submission to the assigned panel. If the proposed
amendment reflects a material change to the allegation or the parties do not agree
as to the materiality of the amendment, the enforcement staff shall send a written
request to the OCOI to schedule a conference call with the chief hearing officer and
all affected parties.
If the chief hearing officer determines that the proposed modification is material,
an amended notice of allegations shall be filed. If the chief hearing officer
determines in writing that the proposed amendment is immaterial, the enforcement
staff shall issue the amended pages of the notice of allegations, without change to
the case processing timelines. The affected involved individual and the institution
may supplement their respective responses consistent with Bylaw 19.7.2.
(Effective: 8/1/2013, Adopted: 8/8/2013)
3-12-3-1. Response to Withdrawn or Amended Notice of Allegations. An
amended notice of allegations shall be issued containing any changes.
If the amendment is immaterial and the parties agree, then a response is
not needed. If the amendment is material, the institution or involved
individuals may submit a response consistent with Bylaw 19.7.2.
(Effective: 8/1/2013, Adopted: 8/8/2013)
3-12-3-2. Reopening Investigation and New Allegations. If the enforcement
staff reopens an investigation after filing a notice of allegations, the
enforcement staff shall file a notice setting forth its need for re-opening
the investigation, whether it is possible to keep the hearing date, if
assigned, and a statement that the enforcement staff has notified all
parties as soon as practicable without compromising the re-opened
investigation. If the case has assigned to a panel, the notice should be
addressed to the chief hearing officer or if the case has not been assigned
to a panel, the chair. The notice shall be served on all parties and
provided to the OCOI. If the case was assigned to a panel prior to filing
the notice, the case may or may not be heard by the same panel. For
purposes of case and docket management, the COI considers the case as
closed during reinvestigation. If further investigation leads to new
allegations, the enforcement staff shall comply with the bylaws and
IOPs that flow from an amended or new notice of allegations. If no new
or amended allegations arise from reopening the investigation, the
enforcement staff shall promptly file a notice requesting the matter be
scheduled for hearing or decision. (Effective: 8/1/2013, Adopted
