"Freeze's side of the story"


Nah not really. Once Nutt and Mars got in his arse and phone records released there wasn't much he could do.

events that led to his dismissal


He was fired for calling hookers.

just simply as bad as it looked?


Not really. The whole "paying players" thing was blown way out of proportion. Lewis maybe got $10k but he didn't even sign.

Tunsil maybe got a light bill paid and had use of a rental car past turn in date. He was probably flirting with agents too, but Freeze either willfully turned a blind eye to that or simply had no idea.

The ACT scam stunk to high heaven but im not sure that was Freeze's deal.

***State fans will soon follow to "correct" everything stated above.

Freeze is a dumbarse, thin-skinned, and vain but he wasn't some nefarious cheater who was greasing palms left and right. He was dirty, but not rolling in the mud.

I don't dislike many college athletes, but Lewis is definitely one of them. He should've been blocked from playing after bating these two universities.

I think it was more that it came out that he called hookers after Ole Miss had already kept him when most programs wouldn't. i think it was more of a straw the broke the camel's back than the single cause he was fired. Hugh Freeze essentially said as much when he stepped down.

Meh, I think it was more the NCAA could only definitively stick a certain amount to Ole Miss. I don't think what actually was given was overblown.

There was just way too much smoke on a lot of other things that were never proven for there not to have been anything more to it.
