Among the things Miller says he told the NCAA: Ole Miss had an intricate system in which the school arranged for Tunsil and his family through boosters to get loans, money and free lodging at hotels and residences around Oxford, Miss. He claims he told the NCAA of benefits that spanned nearly three years.
quote:
Miller, who was dating Tunsil's mother during the recruitment and married her in July 2014, says he provided the NCAA with text messages, e-mails and Facebook messages to back up his claims. He showed multiple Facebook and text messages to SI that appear to verify some of the claims in the NCAA Notice of Allegations. He also says he provided his bank and financial records to the NCAA, which helped investigators verify an $800 payment from a booster in August 2014. At one point, Miller says NCAA investigators took his three cell phones to capture all the data
quote:
In one Facebook message, dated Feb. 8, 2013, Miller appears to write to Ole Miss defensive line coach Chris Kiffin: "Plz do all the u you said to help me and desiree and my 2 sons I have been ole miss biggest fan 2 times he committed to ga I was there foor u be there for us when its time ok." Kiffin appears to have responded: "You know I will!"

Not very inflammatory, mostly just what we already knew. Was expecting a more sensationalized, damning piece.

Just read it. So That was the rumored hit piece coming out that was supposed to tear down our program?
Thanks for the 6-month recap of everything we already knew, Pete. I already booked a one-way flight out of the country over the anticipation for this.....a-hole.

Unless Tunsil went to them in his final interview and told them everything, we won't get a bowl ban. If he did though I would expect two years.

That is a damning report. Miller provided text messages, emails, bank account statements, and Facebook messages to the NCAA. Jericho is about to come crumbling down.

He basically just long-formed our NOA. What happened to Pete being the harassing journalist from the cam newton days and getting sued by honey badgers family?

Do those bank records prove they came from a booster or were they cash deposits?

Have you been living under a rock for the past few months? All of that was literally included in the noa response.

What the frick are the OM boosters thinking?

How do you usually pay players cash or check?

Looks worse than I thought.

SI could have video of Reverend Freeze handing a bag of money to a player and the Blackbears would say that was already in the NOA

If you didn't know about any of these allegations before this "hit piece" came out, you haven't been paying attention. This is like Forde's piece from a year ago "confirming" the NCAA was investigating us when we knew they had been for two years already. There's no new information in this article.

Tunsil sat out 7 games last year. The NCAA already had this info before the season. This info is not new.

these allegations
I didn't know about all of them, but I haven't cared to read most of the NOA stuff that has been out.
What this article does is show that they aren't "allegations" as much as they are provable violations.
