Even discounting the second NOA, the first one still contained more allegations against Freeze than Nutt.

True. And OM didn't say otherwise. They said the majority of allegations didn't have to do with football, and the majority of the level 1's against football had to do with the former staff. Which were true. Is it misleading, yes. But to say academic fraud is the same as a fca director having dinner with a 3* while a coach is there just because both are classified as level 1's is also misleading. By far the worst thing in either NOA is the academic fraud and the academic fraud is what brought the ncaa in. Did Freeze and the current administration make a load of mistakes? Hell yes, tons of mistakes. But to say Nutt didn't do anything wrong or that OM is using him as a scape joke based on their comments after the first NOA is just a dumb lie.

This thread and many before it are about OM lying and making Nutt a scape goat


Nope. The threads are a discussion of the claims brought forth by Nutt and Mars. Find a thread started before the suit which claims any wrongdoing on OMs part towards the fine gentleman, Houston Nutt.
You can't. I started the thread 2 weeks before Mars filed, asking about a rumor I heard concerning Nutt and OM. Nobody knew or claimed a single thing. Not even a good , ole fashioned unsubstantiated rumor.

It still boggles my mind how y'all could treat that man so poorly after he devoted himself to OlMiss

Fifty YEARS, WiO !! FIFTY YEARS!!!

Academic Fraud is brutal, and OM will suffer for that one.

Running a systematic Booster/Player/Recruit network from within the core of the Athletic Department with multiple coaches intentionally circumventing their own Compliance Department in order to continue the operation is just as scathing and OM will suffer for that one too.

Pointing fingers, using diversion tactics, laying blaming and using scapegoats is par for the course in a massive case like this.

Help me out sir. So did the new coaching staff pay the players or did the boosters? If its the boosters then why the up-tick in recruiting?

If Nutt's coaches set up an act testing center for players (admitted to this already).. if they went to those lengths, why do you think they weren't paying players like Freeze was? And if they were, once again, why was there an uptick in recruiting?

Yes you did, and when I went back to look at that thread, I was siding with OM and called Nutt an idiot. Turns out he was a genius.

I mean seriously. OM is currently walking the plank of one of the largest NCAA infraction cases in decades. There are allegations of RAMPANT disregard for NCAA rules and procedures at nearly every step in the process.
Some OM fans are still talking about the NCAA not having a "smoking gun" or "fca director had dinner, blah blah blah". They talk about Leo Lewis lying. They talk about an NCAA witch hunt.

The NCAA knew y'all were cheating. They came to town, found enough to neuter your program, you lie to them, continue to cheat, they find MORE stuff just to put icing on the cake, and y'all still want to talk about how it's everyone else fault and it's a bunch of minor stuff.

Everything that Ole Miss has experienced in the last couple seasons was a fraud. Understand that. The recruiting classes, the rankings, the bowls, the upset wins. All of that was based on Ole Miss blatantly disregarding the rules that most other schools at least pretend to follow. And y'all are about to pay the price for it for the next decade.

I don't remember Nutt ever having NCAA cheating issues an any other program prior to OM. Maybe, just maybe Nutt wouldn't allow a "Barney" type operation to function under his nose? IDK?

But it seems obvious that Freeze was hand picked by higher up's to not only turn a blind eye to a "Barney" operation, but to be complicit with the system and at times facilitate the activities when necessary. Going so far as to completely by pass OM Compliance while his coaches falsified recruiting information they provided OM Compliance.

Could be a reason for the uptick in recruiting.

Ole Miss's recruiting was dog shite for a number of years. Then, out of nowhere, it got great. Then they got slapped with more NCAA infractions that any school in last 30 years.

Case closed.

If you really want the answer. Freeze was brought in by a booster as a package deal with Oher and Hardy. When he got the HC job (again with the support of the biggest boosters), they knew he would let them play the game. He looked the other way while they amped up their efforts, they knew he wouldn't stop them because he was beholden to them. Because Ole Miss is Ole Miss, they set up the operation with almost no discretion or tact and the rest is (or will soon be) history.

That is a very good summary.

Whats not minor?

Academic fraud which happened in Obama's first term under a completely different staff and administration.

and a kid who admitted taking money from others schools, who didn't go to OM, who changed his story multiple times, and is at OM rival says he got 13K.

Outside of those two things, what is considered major and rampant like you said?

Wait, you think that no one was saying OM tried to blame this all on Nutt when the first NOA came out? Have you never heard Dan Wolken's rants?

So did you find it odd that in the ncaa response they did not mention details about what leo said in regard to RR? Just like OM didn't use Leos details as it pertains to the attorney. Their responses are structured to sound great. If either put those in their responses it would not look good.

But even better, you assume Leo took money from OM and OM only and went to state for free. The school who was last busted by the NCAA for paying a kid, not for a ride, not for a hotel, not for meal, but to beg him not visit another school. Ok, go with that.

I was arguing with some guy who I quoted saying he OM used nutt as a scapegoat. That has been said multiple times in this thread and multiple times before the law suit. That's what I claimed and is accurate.

"Freeze put out misleading info to OM writers to save a recruiting class. That's it."
So you don't feel bad about misleading kids into a situation that will affect them, not only short term, but the rest of their life? These are big decisions they are making. If it was your kid, you would be livid.
