And again, why are any names public?? Because Ole Miss continues to violate FERPA and put it out that is all a big MSU Conspiracy!

[Schultzy]

Do they want all fifty-two student athletes there?

[BeastMan]

This is a new article but it's old news. OM has wanted their crack at these 2 since the interviews before the 2nd NOA. Until someone reports LL & KJ are required by NCAA to be at COI, nothing new. Even at that point, I still wouldn't care. The NCAA felt good enough about those interviews to leave them in after the response.

[Political Hack]

Leo & Kobe should sue the crap out of all of them.

[ckDOG]

Witnesses are not called upon at hearings.

[TrapGame]

This feeds the frenzy of the cult of ignorance that believe this is still a vast MSU conspiracy cooked up by Mullen, Rosebowl and NCAA.

[Liverpooldawg]

The Cheaters up North still somehow have the idea that the NCAA operates the same way a court does. It doesn't. I thought they had a law school up there?

[Political Hack]

And that they still think it's a legal proceeding. You don't get to cross examine. That's insane.

This is a volunteer organization with bylaws that you agree to follow. Not the SCOTUS.

[thf24]

When the NCAA responds with a flat and simple "no," I hope it's public.

[Martianlander]

I am glad that our management program is working so well at State that we can coordinate these conspiracies.****

[ScottH]

The NCAA values it's sources of information.

Having Leo/Kobe at the hearing would strongly deter future willingness of students to provide information in interviews.

Ditto the RR suit which, for the very same reason, has gained the cult further disdain in Indy home office.

Would be poor precedent to set as well unless they want to tie up the COI like the court system. Examination and cross examination will drag out the process. They had their chance to discredit these guys in their formal response - which the COI will take into consideration.

[JoseBrown]

Leo & Kobe should sue the crap out of all of them.

I sure hope they do after this NCAA mess is finally done. They should have a hell of a case against whoever put their names out their, in the least. I hope they both get enough money out of them they play in the NFL for shits n giggles.

[Negative Waves]

If I'm the NCAA, the first question I'd ask at the meeting concerning Leo and Kobe is, "who at the University leaked their names?" They leaked their names and then get a booster to sue them. That in itself should be a death penalty offense. It attacks the very foundation of the NCAA and its investigative abilities.

I want Sofia Vergara to come by the house tonight

[ShotgunDawg]

The NCAA needs to tread lightly here or they'll lose the leverage of immunity

all of this is a distraction to the bigger picture. based on all the shit the NCAA has on ole miss, and they make a big deal out of croots getting some free gear?

[JoseBrown]

Shirley the NCAA wouldn't subject them to cross examination though.

[Bdawg]

Shirley the NCAA wouldn't subject them to cross examination though.

I seriously doubt that would/can happen. Again, this is not a court of law. COI just may want to hear some things from them personally or they may just have some follow up questions they want answered.

Is Schlabach really this dumb? He didn't talk to the NCAA. He is just taking the Ole Miss lawyers word that the NCAA said that. These reporters are idiots.

Somewhat concerning that Schlabach would write that, but I agree that he's taking the word of established liars.

I'm not concerned about what our guys would say, if it happened. I just think it would be insane for the NCAA to bend their own rules.

They don't call witnesses to hearings. That article had only one purpose and it is to promote the narrative that Ole Miss didn't cheat that bad. All this shit is so the NCAA won't give them a two year bowl ban vs their one year bowl ban they self imposed. That's all this is about. Because they know that if they get a two year bowl ban, it will crater the program as most to all of their talent will transfer out.

I really wished it was but it's not.

[bobtail bob]

I just want someone to pose the question as to how they received these two kids names in order to file suit . Somebody had to give ESPN their names , right ? Who ?

[Dawgology]

I would be surprised if the NCAA broke their own rules of SA anonymity. They take it pretty seriously.

M I G H T be asked....... Might is a BIG word with lots of room for movement. There attorney's would also appear and advise them not to speak... simple IF this happens.....

[ShotgunDawg]

If, & only IF, the NCAA decided to force Leo & Kobe to attend the COI meeting, then MSU should refuse unless all player & people interviewed & offered immunity by the NCAA are forced to attend as well.

The only reason Leo & Kobe are are of interest here is because 1. They play for the rival school & 2. Because someone at OM made their identities known.

Again, if Leo & Kobe are forced to attend, then so should the Alabama, Auburn, LSU, etc players that testified as well.

Agreed. If they are going to break policy it needs to be applied to everyone in this case not just two. I'm sure other SA's received goods from RR right? I've not read the full NOA.
