Very good Dan Wetzel article calling out OM admin et al

"Ole Miss needs to do right by its players and give them the option to leave restriction-free.

The escort phone call(s) was discovered only because of allegations that Freeze and Ole Miss engaged in an organized misinformation campaign designed to fool recruits, their parents and their high school coaches into believing NCAA allegations against the coach and the program weren?t a big deal."

What Ole Miss ought to do and what Ole Miss is likely to do have been at great variance since all this began.

The NCAA can make this right with a three-year bowl that would allow all but freshmen to bolt without penalty. The odds are increasing good that this will happen.

Ha, trolling the bears a little with this one

"Yes, let the guys just roll on over to Starkville or Tuscaloosa or Baton Rouge and suit up in September if they so choose."

Everyone lies in recruiting but this was particularly organized, an institutionalized effort to deceive recruits and their families having last-minute concerns about where they were about to sign.

Ole Miss decided Freeze’s personal life was cause for dismissal. That’s their prerogative. It’s just that allegedly running a well-orchestrated effort to trick recruits into believing a lie is a far more “concerning pattern of behavior” than whatever Hugh Freeze was doing with his escorts.
Unless this escorts weren't just for him but also for these very recruits.

My only complaint with this article is that he should have held it until Monday so that it would get a full week of run. Wetzel hits the very core of the situation here. It's not just about Freeze and the university. The players are always treated as commodities and not people.

Good article. Some of the comments by the Kool Aid drinkers of the cult are hilarious.

He put out the article on Monday the 24th. It just didn't get much attention on the boards.
