SEC Network reports

[Jack Lambert]

Conner not going NFL might be a nut kicker. I'm kind of guessing he was paid to come back. How funny that would be if he got suspended for the season.

[Mjoelner34]

Dari Nowka now saying just Tunsil. Not Treadwell and Conner.

Was this whole thing made up or did somebody get to him real fast?

Maybe the SEC Network got a call from the NCAA offices to please cease and desist.

If you're trying to keep a low profile on who you're talking to and investigating so that boosters don't put the full court press on them to shut up, you damn sure don't want the SEC Network to broadcast who you are talking to!

Sounds like something the Bears made up. Did anyone personally hear Dari?

[Really Clark?]

This is directly from Dari Twitter where he clarified he was just talking about Tunsil:

@sixpackspeak Nooo, never said anything about that. Just said looking into Tunsil from previous incident. Nothing about others

[RocketDawg]

They did the same thing with Jerrell Powe. He bummed around for several years before getting into UM. He would have been eligible to go to Juco and as long as he graduated then he could go anywhere he wanted.

Isn't he the guy who couldn't read? How could he get through Juco being illiterate? For that matter, how'd he ever get out of high school?

[ILOATHEBears]

Per Yancy.. Coach34 now owns the SEC Network**

C34 has some stroke. These top secret meetings at Golden Corral have really been media takeover talks. He now owns Drudge report, the today show, Fox News and on an on....

[DownwardDawg]

That's not hard in Mississippi, especially if you're a good football player.

I personally heard him on the Chris Vernon show at lunch today. You could hear the disgust in Dari's voice when talking about the 2013 class. He basically said we wondered how freeze pulled in that class in his 2nd year. We all know now.

Obviously Vernon switch topics to the Sooners drafted. As Dari is an OK fan.

I've dealt with him a few times. I would never say "this guy is dumb and can't read". The story goes that once you get a kid in spec. ed., the parent gets a lot more money from the government and if they work their way out of spec. ed., they lose that money. Therefore, alot of kids are kept in when they shouldn't be and powe falls into that category.

Per Yancy.. Coach34 now owns the SEC Network**

Congrats coach. Hell of a accomplishment .

Dan Mullen really said that? Or are you talking about some other Dan?

[Tbonewannabe]

Juco should be easier than UM. They fought for 2 or 3 years to get him in UM when he could have already finished Juco.

Not Dan. It's Dari Nowka, with the SEC Network.

I think the NCAA might be about to get medieval on OM

Sounds like they've already uncovered enough evidence, now they got pissed on by the Tunsil draft altercation on an international stage. Maybe enough for the NCAA to demonstrate just what powers they may have.

[Reason2succeed]

Everyone keeps saying that the NCAA will NEVER give out the death penalty. First, they are still handing out death penalties in other sports and on lower levels of football. But secondly, when compared to SMU and other cases such as Texas State OM has run laps around their cheating. Neither of them included academic fraud to go along with their inducements. If there were EVER a time for the NCAA to flex and throw a death penalty this is it. I know that there is less than a 5% that we will see this but to say there is no chance is not correct either. The NCAA has been challenged in front of the entire nation to protect the image of amateur athletics with academic credibility and it's their turn. Tunsil may have just forced the NCAAs hand.

If you don't think it's that bad consider this Texas and Alabama have had to fire coaches because of the OM scandal. The NCAA may determine that it is just safer to burn their whole department down before the plague spreads. Because if they hit OM with a slap on the wrist the plague will spread and there will be nothing the NCAA can do to contain it.

R2S, what info do you have regarding the OM scandal & how it is linked to Bo Davis... I've been wondering if there is a link, myself...

OK I see that now. My eyes get out of focus after reading the computer screen for a while. Dari looked like Dan.

No doubt. The way they reported it you were always expecting his picture to be of some cross-eyed kid with his tongue hanging out the side of his mouth that you would feel sorry for.

[Boodawg]

I would be demanding an explanation if I was giving big academic monies to the school. You know that ones giving money to athletic dept's are all in, but the ones on the education side should be pissed.
