That is enough to put an end to the second letter theory in my mind. While he might have fudged the truth a bit previously, this is an outright denial on the record. I don't think even bjork would take it that far. Just my .02

I thought about that as well. That would be incredibly stupid on his part.

The thing is though. He says it is over. So the NCAA put it the addendum together in what, less than 3 weeks? That just seems to be a bit too fast for our dear slow friends.

Oh, and they still won't release the NOA that did not exist but really can't wait to do so?

"Expect" isn't a word that paints him in a corner. When they receive the 2nd letter, all he has to say is it was "unexpected"

Here's the truth: OLE MISS IS PAYING PLAYERS OUT THA ASS AND THE NCAA HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

le Miss plans to release the notice of allegations and its response in the future, something Bjork said he’s looking forward to doing in an effort to present Ole Miss’ case publicly.

“We can’t wait to reveal all this,” Bjork said. “We’re ready to tell that story. We’re looking forward to the day to when we can tell this story and put it out there and be transparent beyond what we’ve already done... We’re welcoming that day to tell our story. We just can’t do it right now.”

We just can't do it right now bc we need more time to figure out how to get out of this shit.

You know there is a big difference in saying we do not expect to receive a second letter. Compared to we WILL NOT receive a second letter. And nothing was mentioned about an addendum either. So he still may be playing with words and using them carefully.

Meh this is a stronger statement. I could read between the lines in what he was saying before and knew they were hiding something. I don't get that feeling now. Yes the allegations are more serious then they ever let on but I don't beleive he is lying about the investigation being concluded and no forthcoming letter. Like I said. That's just my read on it.

If Bo Scarbough is not included in the NOA received on Jan 22, then something is fishy with the idea that this is over. 2 possibilities. Bo didn't receive payment from UNM, which is against what every source has been saying. Or they are doing all of their investigations outside of UNM campus. The NCAA can do that without notifying them with a NOI. The other strange part is the definite statement that the investigation is over. That leads you to believe that any additional infractions will have to be under a second investigation not just an added to the first.

Commercecomet24

I just don't believe the NCAA gives the investigated school a step by step progress report on what has been found during the investigation. That just doesn't make any sense what Bjork says, about they knew what was coming from the NCAA. If that is the case, then the NCAA Investigators need to take or retake Investigating 101.

Bingo.

The NCAA 100% knows about Scarborough- he has already sat out games. If he is in the initial NOA, then maybe that is all there is to it. If not, then there has to be more. We will know eventually. That is the beauty of all this- it will eventually come to light one way or the other.

Bjork did not say the NCAA told him there was no 2nd letter coming. This is what he actually said:

How the NCAA enforcement process works is that Ole Miss? counsel works alongside the NCAA investigator, Bjork said ? another reason why he believes that a second letter is not coming, since Ole Miss has not been notified and ?the same thing would be expected.?

That is A LOT different than the NCAA saying there isn't one coming.

I kind of read it like this:

"The NCAA has told Ole Miss its three-plus year investigation into the school's athletic program is complete for women's basketball and track, Ole Miss' athletic director said Wednesday.

Ross Bjork also said that the school has not received (and doesn't expect to receive) a rumored "second letter" concerning more NCAA violations in women's basketball and track, has not been charged with lack of institutional control yet and that football coach Hugh Freeze was not named by the NCAA in any wrongdoing in women's basketball and track."

A breaking CL story at 8:30 at night - after Finebaum? No real answers. Nothing he can be held to account for but nothing that truly refutes the rumor mill. This message is to calm his masses.

Even if they won't release the NOA, why no comment on the actual number of violations and the breakdown in each sport. There is nothing protected by privacy in that at all. 99% of all schools at least give out that information when asked about NOA. Looking so forward to sharing info but won't share even the basic most general information that has nothing to do with privacy. Hiding something so general.

The investigation is over if they've gotten the NOA. There's just no guarantee that there's not another ongoing or recently concluded investigation. Also, if the timeline I was told for a possible 2nd NOA is correct of 6-8 weeks, you'd think that investigation would pretty much have to be over as well. At this point they'd be compiling the allegations, betting their findings, and determining what level the additional allegations constitute.

There is something in that NOA that they very much do not want to get out. Otherwise release it and stop the drip, drip, drip.

Either that or they were trying to make it look worse than it actually is so that they can really spin it positively when it comes out. They could do that as long as their compliant media (to rebut it) and MSU sites ( to build up the negative) were the only ones interested. When the national media got a hold of it they lost control. The stories are starting to turn nasty. Look for ESPN to come out with another damage control article soon I bet. One thing is for sure, one way or another it's going to come out eventually. I hope it drags out for a while longer now. There is some damage being done now, real damage.

He's either 1) all in and knows either way his career is over.

2) He was using very calculated lawyer talk and allowed the dumb CL misreport it.

3) He was just flat out lying and has no respect for the truth because he knows that OM controls the CL which will allow him to continually spin the message.

4) He can say he was misled by the NCAA since OM is about to be in a legal fight with them anyway. OM loves to play the victim when it's in their interest.

He's either 1) all in and knows either way his career is over.

2) He was using very calculated lawyer talk and allowed the dumb CL misreport it.

3) He was just flat out lying and has no respect for the truth because he knows that OM controls the CL which will allow him to continually spin the message.

4) He can say he was misled by the NCAA since OM is about to be in a legal fight with them anyway. OM loves to play the victim when it's in their interest.

I think they're preparing for a legal battle too. It's the only logical excuse to protect the documents at this point. If they don't like what the NCAA proposes, they could appeal or file suit.

NCAA guys, what does this mean?

It might be interesting to see what the NCAA's reaction and response to this would be.

Funny. He said the same thing in an article from 10/2/2014.

“all NCAA interviews have [been] completed and the school is waiting for the NCAA Department of Enforcement’s next step.”

This thread has worked well with my chocolate ice cream mixed with pecans. Dulce de Leche mixed in. Tomorrow's a.m. in the shitter should be quite entertaining.

Steve just posted that it is NOT over. That nothing has changed, nothing.

I just went back and read the article over. Slowly. The first time I read it so fast to see what all it said. If you haven't, I encourage you to reread it again. Slowly. I feel better now that I've read it twice. And I tend to agree with Steve.

Wild animals will do anything, ANYTHING to survive even for just a moment once backed into a corner. They will bite, claw, snarl or roar just to get away if they feel threatened. Some, like the possum, will play dead. That possum LIES because he knows it will at least buy him some time. Bjork is in survival mode, I'm sure.

Far from over. Straight damage control mode by Bjork. He doesn't call the shots, the NCAA does.

Maybe we should send Bjork a shovel, or better yet a Backhoe. Nahhhh, it seems he and OM are doing a great job of digging themselves a big hole to fall in.

Yep......here is Steve's response to a post saying that the investigation is over:


No, it is not.

This is all so bizarre.

He's said what four times now that he's not going to comment further, but he can't help himself.

Nothing has changed, nothing

I have been a member over there for a long time, and typically, with stuff like this, Steve doesn't like to make hard predictions that leave him overly exposed....he usually throws in some kind of qualifier like, "Things could have changed, but I am being told......"

So he clearly feels very good about the information that he is getting.

have y'all read McCready's free article?

As usual just "Christian heppin'". Although I will say it's minor if this is the violation of rides given.

But he wrote it as damage control.

I give them credit, their PR machine is on point. It's brilliant how they used their media guys in recruiting and spin.

Noway in hell McCready even had an inkling of this guys involement unless the school leaked it to him.

They are slowly releasing bits and pieces to soften the blow.

Why the hell are you muther****ers so bent on polishing his knob? Damn, you would believe Michael Jackson if he said he never touched a child. He and other UNM coaches and talking heads have lied and lied and lied and now you are going to just take his word like that and say it's ****ing over. Throw in a bunch of crooked lawyers being orchestrated by Dickie and Archie and you get a pot full of shat stew that is going to boil over at any minute now. They have to tell more lies now after Finebaum spewed shit on them last night and I expect more and more lies before the whole shenanigans are over.

This is just an unbelievable story that I truly hope has an Oscar worthy ending.

Why is an MSU reporter & Elitedawgs getting the story correct and the Ole Miss contingent knows nothing? Yet people still believe them when they speak?

How does Bjork survive this?

If allegations were truly how their people characterized them to friendly reporters, my guess is Ole Miss would have released them already.

Bjork can always do a mea culpa and say "Well, it was my understanding that the interviews were over." Just like it was his understanding that all of the violations were minor infractions from a previous coaching staff.

At this point his words mean diddly.
