Ethics commision meets tomorrow

[Bodaski]

And Rosebowl is on the agenda concerning his request for OM's open records. I'm sure they'll deny his request, but the guy is relentless.

There is no request, when Mississippi is taken before the Ethics Committee it is because they have broken the open records law. A institution in Mississippi has so many days to respond to a freedom of information request. If they violate this law, they are fined between $50 to $75 per day. TSUN has no problem paying this fine to continue to keep the violations they have committed from their fan base, so they can continue to sell season tickets and raise money.

[blacklistedbully]

From the "Penalties" section:

A nonelected public servant can also be censured by the Commission and fined up to $10,000.00. The Commission may also recommend to the Circuit Court for Hinds County that the nonelected public servant be removed from office, suspended, or subjected to a demotion or reduction in pay.

Does this not potentially put Vitter squarely in the crosshairs if pursued vigorously, and if Vitter, then Bjork & Freeze?

Well, when their fans keep attacking him about his past and calling him nothing but a junkie and that is putting it nicely compared to what some of them have tweeted I can understand. The dude has completely turned his life around. There are some things you can poke at but for former addicts that are clean and have managed to stay clean that is not something to joke about or harass someone over. It is actually a pretty amazing feat as the majority of addicts can't stay sober for long. I don't blame him for going after them.

[MadDawg]

An institution completely void of ethics does not fear an "Ethics Commission".

[Reason2succeed]

Is there some type of MS CSPAN that will broadcast this or could he record his remarks and play them on BSR? I'm sure it will be entertaining.

[Political Hack]

I think I remember reading that it's $50 or $75 per page per day, or something like that. Depending on what was requested, that could actually add up. If it was just the NOA, it won't be much though.

If the ethics commission has any ethics, they'll force the issue and threaten to withhold state funding from a state institution that does not follow state laws.

One more thing, if State was violating the law, it would be front page news in the CL.

[PassInterference]

OM has stiff armed several NOAs this year alone. They've made a practice of it I believe since Boone was there.

The result is that UM's attorneys state that UM will release the redacted NOA amendment and their response the week of June 5

[iPat09]

The result is that UM's attorneys state that UM will release the redacted NOA amendment and their response the week of June 5

So in other words, on June 9

[Maroonandwhite]

The result is that UM's attorneys state that UM will release the redacted NOA amendment and their response the week of June 5

What I understood was that the names will be un-redacted when they release the NOA(s) & amendment.

[Dawgology]

The result is that UM's attorneys state that UM will release the redacted NOA amendment and their response the week of June 5

Or their response? He was challenging the redaction of booster info as that is totaly illegal. If the ethics commission rules in UM's favor on this then a dangerous precedent has now been set in the state.

[Chip]

You're correct. I just read the letter from the UM attorney and in paragraph 4 it says Ole Miss will release the NOA amendment without redacting names the week of June 5.


"...UM plans to publicly release the 2017 Amended NOA, along with UM's response to the 2017 Amended NOA, the week of June 5, 2017. When it does so, and consistent with UM's commitment to transparency, UM will not redact the names of third parties."

The letter goes on to say that they will release an Un-redacted copy of the 2016 NOA with the names listed therein.

Where are you reading OM's letter?

I had a friend text it to me.

I'd attach it here, but I don't know how.

[Chip]

I figured it out. There's a page 2, but it's just a "call me with any questions" statement, and signature from the lawyer. The meat is here:

What I gather from reading the first few lines of this is that the BS flows straight from the top of the fountain at that pathetic excuse for an institution of higher learning. It sounds just like the spin of Yancy and their delusional fans. They claim they "plan" to release the names when everyone knows they wouldn't have released crap if SR hadn't forced them.

P.S. Is Steve Robertson working his way toward a statue on campus?!?*** He's quickly becoming a living legend in the EggBowl rivalry.

[starkvegasdawg]

Commitment to transparency...my big old ass.

[PassInterference]

So transparent that their excuse for redacting in 2017 contradicts what they did in 2016. In 2016, their NOA response left names redacted. So it's false that it's their policy to not redact names in NOA responses that they release.

[confucius say]

So if I'm understanding correctly, they are agreeing to release both the amended NOA and it's response as well as their initial response with the names unredacted? If so, Rosebowl for the win.

[confucius say]

Yep, another straight up public lie by the Culture of Corruption .

Need a countdown clock until June 9th at 11:59 pm because that's when the will probably release it

[Maroonandwhite]

Confucius, that's what I got from the letter too. I guess we will have to wait and see if they actually follow through. Looks to me like the ethics commission is a joke. They could've forced OM's hand today. If the investigation is over and they have a response prepared, why not go ahead and release the info.? It's chicken crap to wait until after the SEC spring meetings to turn it loose. At least the Esquire Jolly is on record stating that the names will be published publicly the week of June 5th. The media (if any really care) can hold on to that record and hopefully apply more pressure to OM for transparency as the COI bell tolls.

You are correct... This man is an UPSTANDING man who knows the FATHER...

People need to realize that they had better be CAREFUL of whom they point fingers.. Until you know the WHOLE STORY, which is coming in his book.... KEEP your mouth SHUT...

This man is someone's child, Husband, father, friend, or brother.

For people who party like there is no other in certain places... SHUT UP....

[Chip]

My guess is that if UM doesn't produce the documents as written in today's letter requesting relief from the Commission's direct action, then Steve will have to request that the Commission compel the documents as described in this letter. I would think that the Commission would indeed act upon such a request.

Like how ole miss is all about protecting their boosters in the name of confidentiality during the investigation.....

But they didn't mind throwing Leo and Kobe to the wolves.

Their day is coming and quickly..... We know of 2017 recruiting class violations and NOW 2018 recruiting class violations.... and possibly 2019 recruiting violations.....
Will these IDIOTS and their so called boosters EVER learn what DO NOT PAY A PLAYER MEANS???????

Hell NO......

[Dawgology]

Based on this letter it appears that boosters listed in the 2016 notice were also involved in the 2017 notice. If you read between the lines they are still embroiled in an investigation and now that they have been shown the additional 2017 amended NOA they can reveal their names. This would seem to indicate some boosters are getting hit a second time for infractions occurring after the first NOA.

Also note it says they will release "a version" of the NOA. They just can't stop themselves. Total idiots.

[Liverpooldawg]

If it's the same ones....................This is gonna be GREAT!

"NCAA rules require UM remain confidentiality during an investigation into any alleged rules violations." Is this a published and 'true' statement?

"Out of fairness to those individuals, and to preserve the integrity of the NCAA?s process, UM?s response explained..." preserve integrity, really???

"UM needs the ability to preserve the free flow of information needed to to promote compliance and safeguard institutional integrity." And I just threw up in my mouth!!!

21 level 1 violations there is absolutely no "institutional integrity" to safeguard. Those dudes need a real mental health evaluation.

[Liverpooldawg]

It's NOT 21. That's just the number of CATAGORIES of violations. I saw breakdown where it was actually something like NINETY individual violations, and that was BEFORE the second/amended NOA.

Does your OM buddy know that OM is challenging very few of these allegations?

"NCAA rules require UM remain confidentiality during an investigation into any alleged rules violations."


This may be true "if" there was still an "ongoing " NCAA investigation of OM. However, if the investigation has been concluded, then this is BS. They know what the allegations are. Also if it was so confidential, then why did the NCAA release info to other parties, who are involved in the allegations?

That's kind of what I was thinking. The TCUN attorney's letter to the ethics committee was more "spin" on why the NOA could not be release when we all know they could have (in my best Teddy KGB voice) "released it whenever the 17 I want."

BTW, I've got a beach trip lined up from Saturday, June 3rd, thru the next week and it looks like I'm gonna have great reading material while on the gulf coast. =D

[Reason2succeed]

State fans are waiting for the release of the unredacted NOA like

http://rs11.pbsrc.com/albums/a159/Kyronae/GIFS/Plotting.gif~c200

[Chip]

The NCAA COI hearing will be at least 60 days from the time OM turn in their answers to the amended NOA, which is supposed to be the week of June 5.

I've read that the NCAA COI hearings are also scheduled every other month. I've also read where the COI met in April 2017 with the Louisville case hearing. So they'll meet again in June and again in August and October.

If all the assumptions above hold true, I would assume that Ole Miss' hearing in front of the COI will be scheduled for August. The NCAA COI issues its penalty structure ruling 6 to 8 weeks after the hearing. So Ole Miss won't get a penalty structure, until September to October time frame, it appears.

[PassInterference]

OM will find a way to delay & obstruct to get in that early signing period before the shit really stinks.

One MUST remember that NCAA has no LEGAL say in anything..... State of MS ORDERED tsun to turn over information request to Rosebowl... That is where we stand....

As someone said... Certain Boosters are not worried about ANYTHING much less the $10,000.00 fine.. The IDIOTS have the money.....

REMEMBER: According to Om they have done NOTHING wrong.... haha

When did the ethics commission rule? I just read through this thread and saw no other mention about them having ruled already.

[Chip]

Actually, the Mississippi Ethics Commission chose not to take action on Steve's FOIA complaint. Because of the letter from the UM attorney, it's my understanding that on Friday the Commission moved to "table the matter subject to call".

So, because UM has issued the letter to the Commission outlining what they plan to do through their attorney, Steve (and everyone else) is hopeful that UM fulfills what they've outlined the week of June 5.

I would imagine if they fail to do so, Steve can appeal to the Commission once again for relief. But that would be further delay.

I'm told that the Commission was prepared to act to make UM produce the documents un-redacted on Friday, however.

[RocketDawg]

Thanks, Chip.

[Chip]

No prob, Rocket.

[Mimi's Babies]

When did the ethics commission rule? I just read through this thread and saw no other mention about them having ruled already.

I miss read the letter.... Still the NCAA cannot force OM to produce -- AND the MS Ethics Commission tabled the crap... Lets see just how this works out.... How often does the ethics commission meet? Maybe a letter writing campaign requesting information as to WHY the commission did not rule to force OM to produce....

Could this be conflict of interest on the commissions part, (most were appointed by OM grads).... Just saying....

Also you can note from this Week of June 5, 2017..... They received the NOA on or about February 5, and not when Bjork said.... Thus another LIE..... Will the LYING ever STOP?

[PassInterference]

There's no article. You read OM's letter to Ethics.

[Chip]

I think the Commission meets once a month.
