Freezus is already fighting to not have to provide sworn testimony or to keep it sealed from the NCAA. I think that points to Scott McKinney being full of shit as usual.

I presume that technically the funds aren't coming from the state, but from their athletics foundation (donations, athletic revenues).
But athletic funds that are spent on lawyers means those funds aren't available to transfer to the academic side, and those funds aren't available to buy concrete for their endzone stands.
Everyone has to remember who we are talking about. Mississippi is my home but it is not a model of success and a lot of the blame can be placed on the olemiss lawyers, judges, and business men.
They see themselves as big shots and shot callers. I, like many others here witness it up close. In my neighborhood (large one), the biggest ass holes that like to run around trying to tell everyone else what to do almost always have an olemiss tag on their car or can be seen wearing olemiss clothing. I'm still waiting to see a State or LSU person in the middle of a commotion. Some of the better comedy is when an olemiss person tries to tell another olemiss person what they should do. This has led to wives talking bad about each other and then getting together and "making up" in the Grove on a game day. Of course, that is only on the surface. They are a special breed.
I think the OM lawyers helped remove from the NOA any allegations that the NCAA couldn't prove and that's why it took so long for the NOA to be released. Other schools' NOAs will include unproven allegations but will then state something like "but this allegation could not be supported with evidence". OMs didn't have that.
In State's 2004 probation a few crazy allegations that Johanningmeier made up were in the NOA. One was that Sherrill had offered to buy a house for a recruit's uncle. That was thrown out and State was not punished for it, but it was still put out there.
If it were not for the OM lawyers I bet OM's NOA would have included things like "allegation that recruits were provided with cash for visiting but there was no evidence to support that allegation."
Posted this in another thread before I saw this one....
The whole suing the NCAA is an irrational defense by the OM flock. There is a 0.0% chance that OM would ever consider suing the NCAA. First, the NCAA is a voluntary membership. You don't have to be in it. Second, making this a legal matter would then mean that everyone has to answer their questions under oath. That ain't something they would want.
