2. The PR hit from this should be brutal. It's pretty obvious there was a concocted plan to spin this. Lies to recruits documented with hard evidence. Lies to media supported by circumstantial evidence.

3. Bjork won't survive this. He decided to get in the trenches with Freeze at all costs, and it has burned him. The PR hit will end him.

4. How is the om fan base not demanding bjork's resignation?

5. Regardless of the legal outcome, it's obvious om lied and spun this whole thing hard. We all knew this, but seeing it laid out with evidence, both hard and circumstantial, is damning.

6. Somebody should tweet all the journalists listed with evidence (in the form of their own articles and tweets) that they were lied to. Ask them how they feel about being lied to and made to look stupid.

7. Bottom line- om was all in on Freeze and lied to the media and recruits to try to protect Freeze and save their top ten recruiting class (which they were successful doing). The irony is that 2016 recruiting class they lied to protect will finish with a horrible record and no postseason appearances. Damn.
They're getting what they deserved. The irony to me is Freeze's best team had at least a few key players that were recruited by Nutt that helped them to their best seasons under him in 2014-2015- Aaron Morris, Justin Bell, CJ Johnson, DT Shackleford, Serderius Bryant, Senquez Golson, Cody Prewitt. And probably a few in their 2012 class were recruited by Nutt but I'm not sure who was signed by Freeze and who was signed by Nutt among the Jaylen Walton, Mike Hilton, Trae Elston, Isaac Gross, Ben Still, and Cody Core group. Add in some 5 star players to that group in the form of Nkemdiche, Tunsil, Treadwell, Conner plus find a diamonds in the rough in Conner and Marquis Hayes and take a guy with questionable character that was a former UA All-American in Chad Kelly and a couple of pretty good kickers and you pretty much have Ole Miss's 2014-2015 teams. That doesn't even take into account Donte Moncrief who was a star for Ole Miss and recruited by Nutt but helped Freeze get his team "on the map".

The interesting thing is Ole Miss's teams really actually started to fall apart when Nutt's guys totally left after the 2015 season last year. How much of that was due to the NCAA cloud over them I'm not sure- but there is no question that the leadership on the Ole Miss team took a big hit. And no question to me that the glue guys that Freeze brought in aren't as good as the guys they used to have.

Basically all they ended up with was a Peach Bowl appearance where they got blown out, a Sugar Bowl win that they will have to vacate, and a 2016 class that won't be able to make it to a bowl and will likely be on their third coach in three years starting in December. Plus a massive PR hit and who knows how long they will be in the wilderness.
