Missing booster 12 and 14. All other names are in there. A lot to read to get them all
2016 NOA - They did not redact the name "Moore." Is that a student-athlete name?

Harris has Funky's in Oxford...someone mentioned them before on here.
I have no clue who any of them are outside of Dunlap.
Per Kingfish on JJ. Give him a click for his work and click an ad while you're there http://kingfish1935.blogspot.com/201...-and-2016.html
Booster #1: Darel Thigpen
Booster (B1) allegedly gave free housing, meals, and transportation to five recruits. A sixth player was given free food and lodging as well. This illegal assistance allowed them to enroll in summer classes somewhere (redacted) so they could meet NCAA eligibility requirements. These players competed as members of the team between 2010 and 2013.
Booster #2: Walter Hughes
Mr. Hughes was accused of improperly contacting four recruits and providing them with "impermissable inducements" such as transportation and free meals for recruiting visits in Allegation #5. B2 also paid for hotel rooms on other occasions. He also contacted the mother of a recruit after Recruiting Director Maurice Harris asked him to do so. B2 also accompanied Head Coach Hugh Freeze and Harris on recruiting visits. B2 paid the telephone bills for a recruit and his mother in one month. He paid for two recruits to attend the Music City Bowl in Nashville. B2 arranged more off-campus visits between Harris and recruits and paid for transportation for recruits to visit the home of Coach Freeze. (p.6, j). B2 accompanied them on their visits to Coach Freeze's home as well. B2 even hosted recruiting visits at his home where both Harris and the recruit would meet each other. B2 even showed his interest in their studies as he paid for the tutoring and academic assistance for three recruits in 2012-2013 term.
Booster #3: Cannon Motors and Michael J. Cannon
Allegation #19 accuses Booster #3 (B3) of "loaning" a Nissan Titan from his dealership to a player in 2014 The player elected not to get his car repaired and kept the loaner for another two months. The allegation claims that the compliance department at Ole Miss knew about this "loan" but ignored it. However, B3 allegedly loaned a 2004 used Chevy Tahoe (cheapskate*) to a player for three months and an Amrada for another month. B3 repeatedly allowed players to "borrow" vehicles for long periods of time when they brought in their vehicles for service. One player purchased a 2010 Dodge Challenger from the dealership but did not actually make the $3,000 down payment even though the financing agreement stated he did so.
Booster #5: Michael Strojny,
Allegation #18 claims Mr. Stroiny paid $800 cash to the step-father of a player in August 2014.
Booster #6: Chan Patel
He made the mistake of providing free lodging at a business he owns to family members of Ole Miss student-atheletes. Allegation #11 charges him with allowing one mother to stay at the (assumed) hotel for free for twelve
nights.
Booster #7: Robert Dunlap
The "football program" arranged "free access" to some prime hunting land owned by a booster (B7) connected to the program in January 2013 (p.8). The hunting trips took place during his official visit to Ole Miss. B7 provided more hunting trips to the recruit after he became a member of the team.
Booster #8: Rebel Rags
Booster #8 was the subject of Allegation #9. The NCAA alleged that B8 worked with Kiffin and Assistant Athletic Director Barney Farrar, to provide several thousand dollars of merchandise from Rebel Rags to recruits and their family members. It if further alleged that the two Ole Miss employees directed the players to Rebel Rags so they could obtain said merchandise. These gifts took place between January 2013 and January 2016.
Booster #10: Lee Harris
Booster 10 (B10) allegedly gave cash, food, and drinks to recruits and their families in 2014 and 2015. The cash payments were allegedly between $100 and $200 to one recruit. The notice states:
It is alleged that between March 28, 2014, and January 25, 2015, Lee Harris (L. Harris), a representative of the institution's athletics interests,22 provided between $200 and $600 in impermissible recruiting inducements in the form of cash payments and free food and drinks to then football prospective student- athlete [Student-Athlete 39] and [Student-Athlete 39’s] friends and family. Specifically, on two or three occasions in conjunction with recruiting visits to the institution, L. Harris provided [Student-Athlete 39] with cash payments of between $100 and $200,
as well as provided free food and drinks to [Student-Athlete 39], kids and family.
Booster #13: Arya Keyes
Allegation #14 shows the Puppetmaster (sarcasm) at work. It charges Farrar with arranging more free transportation and hotel rooms for recruits and their family through the use of boosters in the summer of 2014. Farrar supposedly had Booster #13 (B13) to subsidize transportation for one recruit's visit to football camp. Booster #12 (B12) paid for another recruit to attend football camp. B13 provided more transportation, hotel rooms, and meals on other occasions in 2014 (p.14).
Booster #14: John Doe
Allegation #16 states that B14 illegally contacted one recruit and gave him "$13,000 and $15,600" in cash payments. B12 apparently worked for B14 and also delivered cash payments to the recruit. The notices accuses Farrar of knowing these boosters were making payments to the recruit. Ouch. The alleged payments took place in 2014 and 2015. Allegation #17 charges Farrar with lying to investigators and engaging in a cover-up of his wrongdoing.
Yep, lol.
Here's the deal.
As much as I want to see Taco Bell on here & am somewhat disappointed that these people are bunch of wannabee, nobodies, I think everyone needs to fully understand the gravity of this.
As Rosebowl noted in today's Boneyard, this has never happened before. Ole Miss has never had booster's names released in this way & it's important that they are.
As Rosebowl pointed out, much of the arrogance & culture of cheating that exists in their athletic department is due to the lack of accountability that has existed there for decades. Although virtually insignificant names, the release of these names is a warning shot that, if you are caught cheating, your name will be shown to the public & humiliated.
I hope everyone understands that. I'm sure there may be some slight disappointment due to many knowing that bigger fish were involved in this scam, but don't let that distract you from the real news here. And that real news is that OM's boosters are finally, at last being held accountable for their actions & can't go hide behind diddy.
Hopefully, this action will go a long way in future years to promote a more compliance driven, fearful of cheating fan base & destroy the cheating, scam driven culture that has existed there.

Hugh Freeze and the FCA
I meant as far as new to me today from the NOA
I find it ironic (going along with our post about the Inn this morning) that the only time the NOA mentions recruits staying at the Inn at OM was between Jan 26-Feb2. The rest of the hotel/inn stays happen in March, May, and June and those are in the Hampton Inn and [Hotel 1]. Seems like when OM has to impress the recruits just before signing day, they arrange for the kids to stay at the Inn at OM. Hmmm.....
Arya Keyes is one of Donte Moncrief's best friend and former employee of the athletic department
Great observation!!!
I'm very surprised that they are yet to release the NCAA's response to the UNM propaganda that they let go a while back.
There are millionaires on this list. Re-read Godfrey's article from a couple years ago. The one describing the monied boosters who stay on the down low. That fits most of these people.
Strojny is in Biloxi....http://www.strojnycorp.net/team/michael-alan-strojny
