Announcement of NCAA Sanctions on ole miss...

[Political Hack]

... may be moved up to before the egg bowl. I know all the yahoos told you otherwise, but it looks like it could happen before now. Not 100% confirmed, but in my experience this is pretty reliable.

Not sure the timing matters much, as long as it's before signing day, but it's worth sharing... and once again shows that, if true, the idiots are once again just spewing crap without regard for the truth. Once. Again.

[Todd4State]

I would prefer it be after the Egg Bowl myself.

It's already nasty. May as well turn the egg bowl into a wrestling match.

I just want to rip any potential silver lining out of their souls. I'm kind of mean like that.

Wasn't the original speculation the week before the Egg Bowl?

[Political Hack]

Was originally reported that it would be after. Maybe someone else got a hold of it too though. Not sure.

Was it reported? Or did someone speculate that the NCAA might wait until after the egg bowl (Forde maybe?) and then finebaum run with it like an idiot and claim it was based on sources?

I don't know. Honestly I don't pay much attention to any of the noise because people I consider to be reliable usually tell me what's really going on. I read it here that other people (OM goons, F-bomb types, etc...) were saying it would be after the egg bowl.

I want the Ole Miss fans to have as much hate as their hearts can handle before kickoff of the Egg Bowl because when that ass whipping gets going they are going to lose their minds. Any of them that **** up and make the trip to Starkville will regret it for a long time.

The NCAA had zero case against unc. Why is this still brought up and compared? Ugh

Yup, just like the Pedo State deal... NCAA overreach....

[Schultzy]

Yup, just like the Pedo State deal... NCAA overreach....

I haven’t been able to watch them play ever since...and have thought the overreach argument was a cop out to lesser sanctions.

That they have recovered so quickly from that seems bad for college athletics and society to me.

Not trying to one up you on the morality scale as many reasonable ppl agree it was an overreach and the ones guilty are gone now. It’s certainly a cautionary tale about idol worship and deifying leaders.

Yep that was an institutional issue not an athletic department issue.

[Pollodawg]

This. This. This. The only reason NC skated is because they proved that it wasn't only athletes getting to take sop courses.

The saving grace for UNC was the actual benefits were for the entire student population, it wasn't limited to athletes. The NCAA can't do anything to force universities to make their classes harder. They are only worried about if the schools are giving athletes advantages to keep them eligible. If a school offers a degree in basket weaving that is graded on nothing but effort then there isn't anything they can do.

It is like if the NCAA came down on Ole Miss for giving out a shit degree in Engineering. We all know that degree isn't worth the paper it is printed on but it isn't the NCAA's business.

If you don't believe the statement concerning the easy classes take as look at the general studies degree that many om Players are listed in. That degree was created for adults to get a degree to advance in their jobs. See the qualifications for that degree yet the QB was listed with no degree of study.

Truth. Also was headed by our weak SEC Commissioner...
