Miami Herald article on Tunsil....

[Liverpooldawg]

There is an interesting tidbit from stepdad about Western Union money wires to Tunsils mother from Barney Farrah.

So Miller told the NCAA that Barney western union'd tunsil's mom money way before the text messages come out. Seems like corroboration to me

[BrunswickDawg]

Didn't good ole Incarcerated Bob claim he had Western Union evidence?? Maybe Miller is IB?***

[SDDawg]

So OM will forfeit all the Tunsil games, I don't see any way out at this point.

[State82]

Yikes! This is starting to look like Nagasaki & Hiroshima.

[Saltydog]

It was wired from the Student Assistance Fund, duh.......

[StatesboroBlues]

It was wired from the Student Assistance Fund, duh.......

We will hear later that the SAF is partnered with Western Union...

“These so-called agents were talking to him about strip clubs, prostitutes, making derogatory references to women, and they bought him jeans, took him to concerts,” said the stepfather, Lindsey Miller, who warned Tunsil he was endangering his Ole Miss eligibility. “I told him, ‘These guys are not professionals, they are shysters. Stay away from them. Everything will come to you later.’ ”


Miller met with an NCAA investigator in July and told him about other possible improprieties he had witnessed dating back to Tunsil’s high school recruitment, when Tunsil turned down Nick Saban at Alabama and Mark Richt at Georgia to sign with Hugh Freeze at Mississippi. Miller said Polingo used to receive Western Union deliveries of money from Barney Farrar, Ole Miss assistant athletic director for high school and junior college relations.



This is a good thing....

Also Western Union is set to be corporate sponsor of OM football, Vaught-Hemingway stadium at Western Union filed.**

Oh my...

I seriously "opportunity funds" or whatever Rounsaville called it are distributed via Western Union.

Have to wonder why Barney hasn't been canned yet. Could he be threatening to bring the whole program down if fired?

Seems tbe smart thing would be to fire, healthy severance, non disclosure agreement.

He?s devoted to his mother, Desiree Polingo, a former prison nurse who enjoyed cooking sweet potato and pecan pies. She raised him and his siblings as a single mom. Money was tight in the small, aging house behind the Lake City hospital. She and Tunsil?s stepfather moved to Oxford, Mississippi, in 2014 to be closer to Tunsil and his younger brother, Alex Weber, who is an Ole Miss wide receiver.


So money was tight and they had/have a small aging house in Florida, but they can move to a more expensive college town? How?

Yeah that jumps out pretty much like a flashing neon sign.

So Miller has told the NCAA that Tunsil's mom was receiving Western Union payments DURING his recruitment!!! Ooooooohhhh boy. So payments before he was a student and payments while he was a student. Directly from the athletic department. This is LOIC hands down. How stupid were they? You get a bagman to handle transactions, Barney. You nitwit. If the whole staff and administration isn't packing their offices this weekend, the IHL should step in and take over. But I hope they continue to spit in the NCAA's face and carry on. Nothing short of turning VH stadium into a distant memory of where football was once played will be acceptable.

I wonder if Miller told the NCAA of any improprieties related to Bammer or UGA? Hmmm. Enquiring minds want to know.

[PassInterference]

Article also alleged Tunsil's grades were altered.

Literally every week there's a new bombshell hitting the news. And we surely haven't seen all that's there.

Ole Miss is gonna fry.

Nah, Saban and richt didn't tell the world stepdad was a wife beater... Freeze did

[Gordon Gekko]

Everybody and their momma knew the Bears were cheating and pulled shenanigans to get Tunsil, kimchee and paidwell. But AD employees using western union to send money? Really? I thought OM was full of the smartest lawyers on the planet, legal masterminds that can hide anything. Western Union...really? You couldn't overnight them some cash or use some kind of untraceable Visa card? REALLY?

The Bears deserve the death penalty. Not for cheating in recruiting, but for being so stupid.

If I'm an Ole Miss fan, this article would be pretty much the end of the line for me. Each day, it sucks more and more to be an Ole Miss fan.

Note to the Clarion Ledger: THIS is what real journalism looks like.
