I think what's lost here is the simplest solution that everyone is overlooking. The Bears are quick to point out that the NCAA can't use a public statement from Tunsil. While that may be true, Ole Miss released a statement on Friday morning saying that they would investigate the allegations. If they do not produce evidence where he was paid legitimately, then they will have to self-report that he may have it received an improper benefit. At that point, it will be up to them to prove that he did not receive it.
I find it funny that many of the Bears are trying to claim it was only $305 (especially on The Rant). This is either ignorance or typical spin by them. What part of the "context" do they not get? "I thought we agreed on an amount. That number keeps changing." Where he says that number keeps changing means he is asking for different amounts of money every month. Where he says I thought we ALL agreed on an amount, means there was a agreement in place for a certain amount of money to change hands every month to pay the bills. Notice the word ALL. Lindsey Miller is probably included in that "ALL". Freezus might be too. Then Tunsil replies with " I don't know I thought everything was included in the rent." Put it all together and what makes the most sense? There was an agreement to pay the Tunsil/Miller family a set amount per month for rent and living expenses. Then Tunsil figured out he can swindle them out of a little more money every month by saying I need help, I need a favor, etc. What are they going to do, say no?
Playing devils advocate, let's assume that they did file paperwork to use money out of the NCAA fund to cover HIS rent and utilities. They are still screwed because the text is an admission that he was using the money for his mothers utilities instead. The NCAA can hammer them on fraudulent use of the opportunity fund and trying to game the system and systematically cheat.
Bye Bears. Looks like we are going to have to refigure out how to play an SEC schedule with 6 teams from the West and 7 teams from the East participating. Does Sewanee still field a team?
