We have learned the OM investigation

[TrapGame]

I'll believe it when I see it. NCAA has said multiple times they would likely never give the DP again. It would be a hell of a year but on the other hand, do we want them to get the DP? Or do we want them to get hammered thus we hammer them for 5-10 years consistently every November? Tough decision

If the NCAA is still investigating them after an LOIC in NOA numero dos then they are building a death penalty case. They already have enough to make om suffer for ten years. They're going in for the kill.

Has any school ever been under HEAVY investigation and kept on buying players like nothing was wrong? AJ shows up with a brand new Charger at Starkville High School while the NCAA is still all over UNM. I doubt SMU was being investigated and still pulling in a top 10 class. UNM is purely banking on building up their image as a top 5 recruiting school and then they can just ride out the penalties. If there was ever a school showing LOIC over breaking the rules, it is now.

UNM is that guy who gets hit with a DUI and is out on bond then shows up Drunk as Hell and High on Peyote doing doughnuts in an Elementary School parking lot. The dumb sons of bitches think they can get away with it because they will "sue the NCAA".

I'll quote the 30 for 30 on SMU when a booster said ''once you start the payments you cant just stop''

Yep, pretty much true because everybody on the take will be talking to the NCAA if the payments stop.

And if the NCAA realizes the true magnitude of the Network's actions, they may conclude the ONLY corrective course of action is to shut the Network down (especially if they've been caught again after last year's NOA). They're done!!!

Investigation into 2 hotels one in Jackson and one on the Gulf coast....plus questions have arose over some charter fishing boats. Which is the 1st I heard of this last week. Ole miss is up to their nose in shit and can't keep their mouths shut. Those arrogant stupid bastards.

I would love the death penalty just to have that stigma permantly attached to those pricks.

[Boodawg]

What is normal punishment for DP? I know they shut down your program, but for how long normally, 1yr, 2yrs?

[Boodawg]

This is what Wikipedia said about SMU DP, "To date, it is one of the most severe penalties ever imposed on a Division I program, and the only time the NCAA has canceled a football-playing school's entire season at any level." Not sure if correct as Wiki can be wrong, but that's what it says.

[lamont]

Yes- only time in football. But it has been done in other sports

[Reason2succeed]

Hey!!! Y'all are so Mississippi State! You just got word that OM, those cheating bastard up north are still being investigated and may be facing a DP but you are arguing over the NFL players per capita and whether or not we will benefit from this. CAN WE JUST STOP AND ENJOY THEIR MISERY?!?!?

Cue the Hey Hugh video!!!!
Someone upload Colonel Reb is Crying!
I want to hear "The Night They Drove Ole Dixie Down!"

Hell Yeah! +1

[Mobile Bay]

Whatever happened with the guy who testified in open court he was letting TCSUN players use his house in Ocean Springs for free?

[starkvegasdawg]

The last thing I want is the SEC to kick them out. because then we won't get years of beating them into oblivion.

But just think. Then they can cheat their way to a 10 win season so they can go to the Podunk bowl as Sunbelt Champions.

We would probably play them but we would also pick up OK when they replaced them.

I think they'd move Missouri over to the west and then try and add NC State.

In response to the idea that we might vet their "clean players" if many are allowed to transfer and the SMU quote, "once you start paying them, you can't quit", how do you have any clean players in a situation like this? People talk. Don't you think most or all their players knew who was getting added benefits and how much? Unless it was just a player's lifetime dream to be a reb, wouldn't you have to sweeten the pot for most if not all in some way to prevent a mutiny in the ranks.

Funny thing is probably their "Cleanest" players the last few years were probably their most valuable....Bo, Kelly, and Engram

Crazy, who would have thought that you generally get more consistent effort and performance out of guys who sincerely want to be in your program?

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

The latest problem is not in stopping paying the players currently on the roster. That is no problem. You just keep paying them and they keep their mouth shut....unless you're a dumbass like Tunsil. Where the rebs screwed up is in trying to buy new players not currently on the roster while the NCAA was in the next room watching every move they made.
