Oxford is already a dumpster fire. So there's that.

there was a kid from Bama
bo Scarborough didn't get immunity, he served a 4 game suspension and presumably paid back the value of whatever he got from ole Miss. He didn't lie when questioned, served his suspension, and is now back in good standing

He did his time and moved forward. That's something Ole Miss knows nothing about. It pisses me off how they are trying to bring everybody down with them.

A player getting immunity to snitch on a rival school opens the door to a lot of problems



How about rival coach snitching for immunity our just plain spite? Remember Fulmer?
Seriously, as a Bama fan, wtf? This isn't any different from 15+ years ago.

Leo Lewis is the face that the OM administration put on this shitshow. Nice job of panning a 19 yr old instead of taking responsibility , cheaters.

Ole Miss isn't even challenging the Lewis allegation and charge. Obviously, the coach named in the allegation must have told the NCAA the same thing that Leo did. So why is Lewis the bad guy?

What is hysterical is that most of the UM hierarchy is wanting to take what is coming and this be the end as there are more body bags that they would prefer stay buried. It is the everyday Ole Miss fan that is pushing this scorched earth bring everybody else down with us mentality.

Being a state fan I will admit we would be in the same boat had we landed 5*s from Ohio, Florida, Texas etc. We would be buried just as quickly.

Unfortunately, Ole Miss stuck their hand in the wrong cookie jar and got burned.

Here is the difference, this is not the 50s and 60s, Ole Miss is no Alabama, or Ohio State, or (insert big money market). The SEC nor the NCAA needs Ole Miss. In all honesty how relevant have you been since segregation in any of the big 3 sports? What one world Series appearance? I will also be the first to admit State is in the same boat.

You start a war against the SEC and NCAA and they will tell you go join the NAIA we don't need you. The SEC can find 10 other teams to take your place. Ole Miss needs the SEC and the NCAA, don't get that confused. You are no powerhouse big market $$ maker for the SEC compared to some of the other schools. And again I will state this so as not to be viewed as biased but State is in the exact same position as far as relevance goes.

What your saying is that it comes down to money. If that veil is lifted then college football
loses and the biggest loser may be the NCAA. At what point do the major conferences
decide to pull out of the NCAA ? Why invest millions only to have the NCAA ruin your
investment with what in the Ole Miss case are actually minor although numerous
violations ? The NCAA might be overplaying their hand.

Yea, if you haven't noticed just about everything comes down to money now. College football is a business first and foremost. I think as fans our judgment on that is clouded. But when hundreds of millions of dollars are involved it is most certainly about the $$.

So Ole Miss invests what 30 million or so in a new stadium etc. What is that compared to the 100s of millions the rest of cfb brings in for the tv networks etc.

Why do you think the primary thing conferences are looking at when bringing a new team in is the TV market they bring? $$$$.

Who brings more viewers? Alabama or Ole Miss/Miss State combined.

It is a good story if you have a nobody compete for a championship occasionally, but if you start to threaten the status quo every year I assure you the NCAA will be close behind.

But the gap between the haves and have nots can only be so big before the games
become uncompetitive and the point still remains, why would any mid level team risk
millions of dollars they need to compete if it can all be flushed down the drain
because of a rogue booster ? I think you are going to see some conferences
look to take some power away from the NCAA sooner than later.

Do you not grasp the fact that the power of the NCAA is what allows mid-level programs to compete AT ALL?
Do you think that programs with 10x the budget would not bury smaller programs in order to win even more championships?
Please take 2 weeks off and then quit the internet

The NCAA isn't using their power to level the playing field anymore. Their concern
is dollars, specifically TV dollars. They could enforce a cap on coaching salaries
and overall budget dollars spent on athletic programs but they don't . Their interest is with the status quo which happens to favor the established powerhouses.
