If Ross Bjork has been calling the shots lately, that experiment is over.

[AlmostPositive]

Bjork and Freeze have been muzzled... they are not the type to shut up voluntarily. It is out of their hands.


This has the Chancellor's full attention.

The question now is if there is anyone around Vitter wise enough to realize that the only viable course now is to turn on the AD staff and get as much distance as possible as early as possible.

There is nothing else they can do.

They are scared shitless because they have no idea what else the hacker has on them

That was why it was so brilliant to publish the ganja gas mask video first. As soon it's revealed that is indeed Big Softy inhaling his body weight, you know the hacker has actual files, not photoshops. There is almost zero chance that he's not sitting on more embarrassing material.

THIS! OR WHO it is. OR IF they could ever talk to the NCAA- which of course they can and probably have. They are in a DANGEROUS, uncharted waters as far as they are concerned. They can't be proactive, which leaves them WIDE open for NCAA RD2. They have to be forthcoming or they WILL be SMU II

If they don't cut bait with Freeze and or Bdork, its gonna look like the whole administration is complicit in the cheating and fraud. If they get rid of the cancer at least they may save a little face, not much but a little. If they don't get rid of one or both the whole University is gonna take a big hit.

Exactly. The Admin know this, but the problem is they'll be butting head with Archie and Dickie Scruggs and a lot of bourbon soaked alumni who still think Freeze was recreating their '60's heyday. It will take a little fortitude for Vitter to dump Freeze and Bjork.

Yep, they will run him off if he fires Freeze unless he gets a show clause.
We would have already let Mullen go or made him resign at this point.

And they're probably just sitting on it waiting for UMiss to put out something official, then release something catching them in a lie. This is such great entertainment. Not many people enjoy something more than watching a douchebag a-hole get their well deserved cummupins.

I've stopped apologizing for enjoying it so much. Everyone I've discussed it with is smiling as much as me.

At this point and time, OM want say anything for a while, they can't afford to make a mistake. I thought someone would call a press conference but that ain't gonna happen now. The next press conference may be weeks and when it occurs heads will roll, who's head is what they are trying to figure out right now. If I'm on the hot seat with not knowing if I have a job or not, I'd take the money and be done and find another career.

The State plane would have left his ass throwing up in the lobby shitter.

Everybody needs to understand this salient point by commerce.

This is past the guilt innocence stage. They are in damage control. I just think they are covering it up because its an admission of guilt.

I agree, I think that Vitter wants to get in front of this as this is very bad publicity at a time when a lot of HS students are making their mind up about the next 4 years. This is far bigger than sports, they have possible fraud, accreditation and other legal implications that must be considered. The problem is that the one or two honest among them know that the rest are crooks and do not want to go public without being able to answer questions truthfully. freezus' reputation is total crap as is bdork so they can't go in front of the press.

I am guessing that Vitter is getting outside help internally investigating the Ath dept to get to the truth or some semblance of it. They are going toe quiet for a long time.

I agree, no way Freeze and Bjork stay this quiet this long otherwise.

Now ESPN is saying Tunsil hired a "runner" who is the front man for an agent in October.

Another page to the chapter as the book gets thicker.

Hiring agnets and runners is okay if you use the Opportunity fund.**

[cubswillwinitonedaydawg]

It's probably already been pointed out, but to me Bjork and Freeze's silence is the most telling sign of guilt. They have been known to repeatedly respond to twitter trolls, pump up and defend the school and program at any chance, and threaten folks with wrestling belts. And now they're getting crucified in the media nationwide and they're silent? Pretty telling in my opinion. Either they have a gag order from OM admin and/or lawyers, or they don't want to give any more ammo to the investigation, or both.

[basedog]

I'm beginning to think now that there is talk about how or what to do about contracts. With millions of dollars involved and career's being lost, it takes days to work out details. Just saying.

That certainly part of the thoughts going at present, they don't want to fire them just yet, but let the NCAA come down on them and they do not have to pay off severance portion the contracts. The issue is going to be; how long do the admin let this go it only gets worse for UNM the longer they hang on to freezus or do they pay the severance and dump them ASAP.

Lying to the NCAA is dangerous. Now OM has been exposed, the NCAA isn't about to be in a hurry. If OM is waiting on the NCAA they are making a much bigger mistake. Regardless, heads are gonna roll.

Ross was headed out of Oxford in a hurry.
