In the end I think it all falls back to some of the big money boosters and how things work in MS. They're used to being big fish in small ponds and people looking the other way on a lot of things. They got arrogant and outside of where people are willing to look the other way and are going to be held accountable.

UNC had fake classes for 18 years and is getting a pass for their major teams. Everybody saw how pitiful the Miami investigation was.
Unless you know the NCAA has hard evidence, I'd advise to cheat your arse off when it comes to a Power 5 conference.

You do realize that UNC is a much bigger moneymaker for the NCAA than Ole Miss, right?

Exactly. They still might be right too.

If nothing serious happens to OM recruiting is going to become an even bigger shite show than it already is. Like I said before, on signing day you will have coaches standing by recruits with duffle bags full of money.

Tell that to SMU basketball.
OM is absolutely gonna get hammered. T
Their boosters are paying players and bragging about it. Now we have it on TV that OM coaches were paying Tunsil also. I doubt OM told the NCAA about that.

Not after Bo Davis and Alabama got caught.

When they shot up the recruiting rankings like a bullet, we all knew something was awry.

Never overestimate the intelligence of a "university" where US troops with fixed bayonets had to put down rioters so a black student could enroll.

If nothing serious happens, I'll be interested to see what happens with Jackie Sherrill's lawsuit if it ever gets to trial. And among other small world type coincidences, the lawyer defending the NCAA in this one is from Oxford, MS of all places (at least at the time of this article), and the 3rd party in the suit is an Ole Miss booster with some interesting allegations against her related to the case.

quote:
On Dec. 2, 2004, a little over a year after his tenure as Mississippi State's football coach ended in the mire of losses and the cloud of an NCAA investigation, Jackie Sherrill began to fight back. In the circuit court of Oktibbeha County, where MSU is located, Sherrill filed a $10 million defamation suit against the NCAA and two of its investigators, claiming it and a Mississippi woman conspired to run him out of the profession.
quote:.
Obviously, we're frustrated by not having our discovery, but I'm limited to what I can say," Ferrell said.
Sherrill wouldn't comment on the case Thursday. Cal Mayo, the Oxford, Miss.-based attorney who is leading the NCAA's defense, referred questions to the NCAA.
"We remain confident that the court will recognize Mr. Sherrill has no viable claim," NCAA spokesperson Stacey Osburn said.
An attorney for Julie Gibert, the Mississippi woman Sherrill alleges acted in concert with the NCAA, would not comment

Well. They're from Mississippi. If you need a more in-depth explanation than that, maybe you should move to Mississippi.

That and it was worth the gamble. 50 years of being a doormat caused desperation.

Blinded by their desire to be relevant in the SEC...
Hugh Freeze ready for Rebels to be relevant again
We're enjoying being relevant
Recruiting stability...
"Further, Freeze will soon have a recruiting tool he hasn’t previously had at his disposal. Treadwell, Nkemdiche and Tunsil are all projected as first-round NFL draft picks. It’s a selling point he’s already using on the recruiting trail.
“This is the first class I recruited that’s eligible for the draft,” Freeze said. “Anytime you (produce NFL players), it gives validity to what I’m telling these other recruits. ‘Here’s the plan I put in place for these guys, here’s exactly what happened and it can happen for you too.’”.....
Freeze said. “There’s an expectation now that we should be competitive and relevant in the SEC West.”
But somehow going o OM caused them all to drop from where they should've been drafted. They were all supposed to be the first at their positions to be drafted. All but Treadwell will be busts. He will simply be Keshawn Johnson 2.0

Treadwell publically stated that his WR Coach didn't teach him shite.
