Our lawyers will go head to head with the NCAA's at the COI meeting in September. Merkel's over 300 pages of evidence contradicting the testimonies of Leo, Kobe and Lindsey Miller (all claimed received free, illegal merchandise from Rebel Rags) has been given to the NCAA plus his theory of collusion with media, NCAA investigators and possibly others at MSU. The investigators heard all Lindsey's allegations and decided his were not credible enough to include in the first NOA. Then after the Tunsil text on draft nite (which turned out to be another nothingburger) and it had been announced that the investigation was over and the NCAA would not get their man, suddenly two State players appeared. A deal was struck to admit their testimony. This was necessary because it would add 4 or 5 more level one allegations to the list including Leo's testimony of an Ole Miss booster pay to play allegation which they had been unable to find for 4 yrs. In order to make the RR allegation a Level 1 they had to find 3 allegations against them so they went back and included Lindsey's allegation which they had once rejected. With the inclusion of these 3 testimonies the investigators had enough to add a failure to monitor and LOIC allegation in their minds. Classic case of making up their minds from the beginning we were guilty and proceeding to find a way to prove it. But this time, they stepped over their bounds too often and I believe they will pay.
The depositions could be done before the hearing depending on the judges decision. I believe he will rule they be done before the hearing since the COI's verdict could further damage Rebel Rags' business. The discovery of who made the immunity deal with the NCAA should weigh heavily in our favor.
Inspite of Hugh's failures in his private life the way he ran the football program has been well documented by our lawyers. They were out to get Hugh from the start because of his success and most believe his resignation will help our case.
I'm still confident that Leo's testimony will be thrown out and with it 7 of the 8 allegations in the second NOA and the NCAA will agree to our offer. If they don't, after names are redacted they will be exposed to multiple lawsuits I strongly believe they will lose. I'm betting Leo doesn't respond to his invitation to the COI invitation and if so all his testimony will be flushed. If I were Leo I wouldn't go. I would also tell the truth when deposed rather than risk losing his dream of playing in the NFL and possible jail time for perjury. Merkel will tear him apart.
So far I believe RR is suing Leo, Kobe, Lindsey, Steve Robertson (a writer on a MSU message board), Pat Forte (a writer for Yahoo Sports), whoever was involved in the immunity deal with the NCAA and eventually the NCAA itself. This will be followed by two lawsuits by two coaches, Barney Farrar and Chris Kiffen against probably the same group. I'm not sure if they have filed or are waiting on hearing something from the NCAA first. I believe it is possible that the allegations stand against them at the COI. I don't believe it's possible they stand in a civil lawsuit. Then there's the individuals whose names will be unredacted. They will sue. The two I've heard most about are the booster Leo claimed paid him the day before signing day and another individual totally unconnected with Ole Miss. It looks like they will be in court for years.
There is still that possibility that we take the bowl ban off the table in light of what comes out in discovery at the RR lawsuit through depositions. The word I keep hearing is that if they don't accept our offer and give us a two year ban which is the most possible, we will take our offer off the table and appeal it where it is more likely to go in our favor.
This is actually what I'm hoping for. Multiple lawsuits against the NCAA will be filed including one from Ole Miss. The NCAA is 0-10 in lawsuits. The last, Miami, settled for 200 million.
From all I know, the NCAA needs to be exposed. I defended them on our premium board for years until it became evident to all they weren't playing fair. I now believe the NCAA is a very corrupt and political organization. We continue to be the Southern whipping boy for racial injustice and their lead investigator, Mike Sheridan, who I've heard from a good source is sweating bullets, is on record saying so. We already know their investigators broke their own bylaws multiple times in our investigation. They apparently leaked information at critical times that did severly damage our football program. I don't believe they will want to get into that but if they do, so be it.
I've heard over and over that the NCAA does whatever it decides to do and if they want to get you, they'll get you and there's nothing you can do about it. That is just not always true (see Miami) because every case is different and in our case I believe the NCAA will end up paying for their witch hunt. They've made too many major mistakes in our case. We'll see.
Then follows it up with..............

Harry I don't know what Ole Miss wants to do. I'm just reporting what I'm hearing and have no 1st hand information about any of this.
I think it is safe to say a number of people will be sued by a number of people.
I think it's safe to say, they are the biggest Moron's I have ever seen or heard!
