I don't see the edit...
At present, Freeze is named in one of the allegations. It involves what the NCAA calls "a representative of the institution's athletic interests"—which is NCAA-speak for booster—giving recruits transportation to and lodging in Oxford and attending an in-home visit in which Freeze was present. Ole Miss is not contesting the allegation, but, per the school's response to the Notice of Allegations, Ole Miss officials will argue that the actions of the booster, a "huddle leader" for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes in the Memphis area, did not "involve either a third party seeking to benefit from his association with a prospect or a wealthy booster seeking to persuade a prospect to attend a particular institution by providing lavish gifts or benefits." Freeze considers this a misunderstanding of the rules and not evidence of intent to cheat. Multiple times Thursday, he said he had no desire to "cut corners."
That might matter only to Freeze because the public typically ties head coaches to the results of any NCAA investigation. This is only natural; they are the faces of their programs. Just like any other CEO, a head coach will get credit or blame for the performance of his organization—and this includes all dealings with any regulatory body. To most of us, whatever happens to Ole Miss during Freeze's tenure, good or bad, will go on the mental r?sum? that pops up every time his name is mentioned. He's the guy who beat Alabama in consecutive years. He's the guy who led his team to consecutive New Year's Six bowls. He's also the guy who was in the head coach's office when Ole Miss football got in trouble with the NCAA.
Although still wrong because the booster was also at Hugh's house

Every time you read an article or tweet saying "Freeze isn't personally named in any allegations" email and correct them.
This is part of, as Freeze himself said, OM's narrative.
Every writer has been saying this. Correct them.
I understand one writer has already edited his article after being shown he was wrong by saying that.
This morning on local radio a bear called and said, " were are gonna loose a few scollies, no bowl ban, maybe a year or two probat. Also mentioned when The Rev put out his email address for any leads on violations, he said no takers. Also said he shut Finbaum and Booger down on media days. Your thoughts?

Sounds like some Bear sources others are quoting around here.
If they skate on eight Level I infractions the college football world will burn.

Was that OleRebelJacob that called in? He's one of the most deflective, delusional Bear fans that there is.

This is what I don't understand about them. The Freeze administration has what- 13 violations, 8 level 1's? How can anyone look at that and believe that 9 scholly's will suffice?
Their compliance received a bunch of emails after teh Rev said that, and if memory serves, when FOI'd about them, they redacted a couple dozen for some reason.

Not only that, but he was directly asked while on the podium yesterday about that tweet and whether he regretted, and he said that yes, he regretted sending it.
