Not worried but if LL shows for the COI hearing where do you place the odds the bear lawyers will yell questions at him to either hope he slips and answers or a board member will then ask him that question?
I truly hope he does indeed go. When the proceedings begin, I hope the NCAA apologizes to Leo for the fact that Ole Miss released his name when it should have been withheld and then they proceed to (without any deliberation) announcing the death penalty....
To paraphrase the Beav., no way should they be getting away with slandering these young men (or their families) in public when the information should be kept private.
Leo actually doesnt have to go to Indy for this. It can be done by phone or skype
Unless they change their bylaws- OM will not be able to question him at the COI and nothing will be asked about State. This is all about OM.
What if Leo walks in there and says "I gave my Ole Miss gear to the escort that showed up in my hotel room"?
It's amazing to me that they think this hearing is about anything but them.
"Help us, Rebel Rags, you're our only hope!"
This OM prayer will be answered like all the rest of their trial balloons (investigation over, Nutt did it, Freeze not in the NOA, etc). They won't like the answer.
I hope they do ask him questions. So he can shove it straight back in their face again.
I'm assuming that since he was listed as SA39, that the NCAA would protect his privacy and even if he did go to the COI hearing that he would not ever be in the same room as the Ole Miss team. I mean we are talking about a student.
Who is ordering Leo to attend and for what reason? OM or the NCAA? Why not Kobe and Tunsil's stepdaddy?
I would have to think Leo's attorney will be accompanying him.
Where is Steve on this?
They 'requested' him to go. He isn't obligated from what I understand. If I was his attorney I'd say "17 that".
And you'll lose eligibility too if you did that.
Who is they? OM or the NCAA? If the NCAA requested, then he will have to be there. If OM requested, the NCAA still has to approve. Either way, it has to go through the NCAA to be "officially requested".
Hell, he should just go. This is just a Hail Mary by Ole Miss that,in all likelihood,will make them look even more desperate and foolish. This is part of their "save Freeze at any cost" approach they cooked up and now cannot abandon, despite the fact Freeze is gone. The NCAA has already rejected their arguments, and the rest is just a formality.
Keep in mind, in the second paragraph of their response to the NCAA, Ole Miss admitted that the violations continued during the time the NCAA was on campus. That, in my opinion, was the most damning admission of the entire investigation, and I have yet to hear any Ole Miss apologist address it. No matter how much makeup you put on a pig, at the end of the day, it is still a pig. I was very skeptical about whether Ole Miss would be branded with the "Scarlet Letter" (LOIC) until I read that admission. That one sentence in the second paragraph "stood out like a turd in a punch bowl", and after reading it, I knew Ole Miss was done.
Note the dates. Request was made in May by NCAA. OM received their rejection from NCAA last week. They're spinning this like it's a recent request.
The NCAA wiped their ass with it and mailed it to OM. Can't wait to see you at the COI
Not that I'm buying this and I'm sure it would have come out long before now, but if that little rumor from a coach at another school that was recruiting LL that has been around for a while now about LL's recruitment was a NCAA plant and it would be revealed at the COI as fact, my my talk about UNM rueing the day.
