re: What's happening to Ole Miss is wrong

The timing is awful

Ole Miss should be celebrating their best ever season and instead they are dealing with this crap

I don't blame LSU, Florida or Lane. I blame the NCAA, they have really screwed up college athletics with bad decisions over the past few decades

They should get rid of the December signing day so the timeline is a little better than what we have now

True. You can't blame other teams trying to poach him.

You're right about the NCAA too. They absolutely suck. For decades they've
been a smug elitist, hypocritical, and laughably tone deaf organization with a Big Ten/East Coast dominated administration. They hypocritically preach about amateurism and academics while putting money and more money above the good of the sport. When the SEC started becoming the dominant football conference in the 90s they went heavy handed on SEC programs and were critical of SEC academic standards while allowing a couple of prominent Big Ten and ACC football/basketball programs to skate on academic fraud. The cherry on top was their years long resistance to all the NIL type reform attempts that would have provided a more
manageable NIL system instead of the put of control free for all system we now have. They're the ultimate "private" sector example of the kind of corruption and ineptitude that "big government" is famous for.

Case in point is the December signing period that you pointed out which is one of the dumbest ideas they've come up with. Yeh, let's move signing day to a time that inteferes and distracts from our biggest sport's national championship playoff and bowl season and completely destroys the recruiting of teams that lose their head coach and even compromises the rosters of teams in the middle of a playoff run and in the middle of bowl preparations.

Ole Miss fans deserve better than having a potentially historic season ruined
