So boosters names will remain redacted?

[Dawgology]

It was my understanding that the State Ethics Commission released an opinion that the boosters names should not be redacted about the time that Ole Miss released a statement saying that the NOA would be released with the names unredacted. The Ethics Commission conveniently accepted that and didn't make an actual ruling.

This unredacted release didn't happen. In fact, the complete opposite happened.

So...State Ethics Commission is like "cool, bro...laterz!"

WTAF? Is there a way to get an outside organization to come in and start a corruption investigation? This goes waaaaaaaaaaay beyond college football.

Good. I love the fact the NCAA will look at this as OM wants to protect the ones that caused all this trouble (rich white dudes) and put a student athlete (young, black man) on blast as the real problem.

I told you guys once before to call MSNBC. There would be nothing juicy for Rachel Maddow as a reprieve from her Trump scandal coverage than to talk about OM, the bastion of southern "heritage" allowing a booster to sue a SA at their rival. Add in the state ethics commission not releasing the names of boosters and yes Dawgology this goes WAY beyond CFB. This is borderline criminal.

You are probably right. As bad as I hate them, there is probably a member of the liberal media that would love to jump on something like this, especially something that could be presented with a racial slant.

How about this one, now the only person that released the names publicly are the people that are suing for slander. Which those statements were still private and not public, until the suit was filed. I can smell a countersuit brewing.

So could Leo sue all the boosters in the NOA by name to prevent his name being leaked to the media? Would he have gotten a copy with the names?

One thing you can always count on: ole miss will never do the "right thing" when there is another choice. Even if that choice is to just ignore state law or direction from an ethics committee.

It's not so much that they are ignoring the State Ethics Commission as much as it is that it comes across as all pre-scripted with the State Ethics Commission being somewhat complicit. At least, that is what it looks like from the outside. The Commission can avoid making a ruling (which they would have HAD to rule against Ole Miss on this issue as it is a clear violation) but still put out an "opinion" which isn't legally binding nor does it carry much/any weight. Yet they still look like they did something while not really doing it. Meanwhile, Ole Miss can say "well we were GOING to buuuuuutttt...there was that TOTALLY unexpected motion filed by one booster that just kept us from doing anything....".

Funny how that just all worked out....

I'm NOT saying that is how it went down but it does look suspect.

I would not doubt this in the least. Nothing they do isn't a well orchestrated plan put into action. I laugh when I hear someone like Dick Cross say they wonder what ole miss thinks of the RR lawsuit. It's hilarious for anyone to try and act like ole miss wasn't a steering and driving force for that lawsuit. Hell their response to the NOA was written with that lawsuit in mind.

Merkel, RR's lawyer, would have in no way took a case that had any chance of being not wanted by OM.

If OM was against it in any small way, he wouldn't be doing it.

So can Steve file yet another complaint? Probably what they were looking for to drag this out another few months.

Anyone have contact info for the state ethics commission?

The Motion to Intervene arguments from the booster were not to be heard until 6/27 at the Ethics Commission. If that has not been cancelled or dismissed, why would anyone expect the names to be released before that meeting?

A) Ole Miss said they would
B) MS Ethics Commission said they should

But in reality, shortly after the Ethics commission tabled everything once Ole Miss said they would release the unredacted copy I said this was a stall tactic and that they would lean on something that came up to not release the names. You could see it coming from a mile away. I actually stated it on this message board so you could probably go find it.

I started this topic because I think it is important for college athletics and our state in general to shed a light on this as much as possible. The fact that this hasn't been covered by ANY media is disheartening.

Points A and B was made prior to the Motion to Intervene though. The booster removed the case (some say the judge was going to dismiss anyway) from Circuit Court so they could file with the Ethics Commission. This was done after they had ruled and UNM stated they would comply with the Ethics Commission. By procedure, I think the Ethics Commission was correct in the handling of this so far. They even chastised UNM for not complying originally and having this case brought to them.

It doesn't change the fact that the Ethics Commission could have made an actual ruling and made it happen.

No they couldn't. They have to allow a week for a written response and set the hearing. That's procedure. Now they could have ruled that the written response wasn't sufficient and dismissed the Motion but when they did not, they could not rule without arguments being presented at a hearing.

Correct, Meeting is still set for June 27 at 10:00 am.... in Jackson, MS.... I believe that RR have the right to show up also....

Anyone know how we can get this meeting Live streamed where we can WATCH it live on Elite Dawgs?
I doubt CLiar will even show up. Anyone know anyone at the news stations in Jackson area? If WCBI live streamed the counting of ballots in Starkville surly they could live stream this... Anyone friends with anyone who works there?
