A thought came across my mind earlier this evening while in the gym...

What I am saying is Hugh Freeze & the University of Mississippi are currently embroiled in a cover-up.
And as the old saying goes, it's not the act that get you in the end; it's the cover-up.
Cover-ups are the juciy tidbits of any American reporting, whether political, business, domestic or sports.
So just be patient. The cover-up will prove too inticing for ESPN or anybody else to resist.
Shower and gym seem to be the place were I do my best thinking. The thought somewhat relates to this topic.
The last time OM was investigated, they got hammered pretty damn hard. The NCAA had so much damning evidence, there was no avoiding it. Since then, they've basically been buying away a few players each year, and mainly from their instate rival. The NCAA sees any complaints filed by MSU as sour grapes, thus hardly ever doing more than opening the letter or email. Even when the NCAA had some compelling evidence of wrong doing, they knew their efforts would most likely be wasted, due to OM's ability to hide and cover up things, as well as their elaborate tight knit group of heppin boosters. The heppers are located in most of the small towns across the state and start targeting players early. Small towns, people don't necessarily like to squeal on their neighbor of a rival school, because they moved momma on up to the east side. Because neighbors refuse to tell the truth, he NCAA gets stonewalled looking into the few allegations against OM that they actually act on.
Fast forward to the 2013 class. OM coming off 4 and 2 win seasons, starts going after other teams long term commits. Then these commits start flipping in some of the most bizarre ways most have ever seen, dealing with OM recruiting. Couple this with buying players from some of the top programs in the country who were all but locks on these players, the make their lone visit to Oxford. Multiple schools, in multiple conferences are not very thrilled with a middle tier SEC team buying their recruits, and start barking at the NCAA. The NCAA starts looking into these allegations of improprieties from multiple schools, and they start to see a pattern and similarities. These allegations are also similar to a lot of the allegations that lil ole MSU has been telling them for years (Hence looking all the way back to CJ's purchase). The NCAA has too many people telling the same story and knows that something took place. This is more than enough to warrant an all out full blown investigation on multiple fronts. No way they would be putting this much effort into something if they didn't already have evidence to put OM on some type of sanctions. The only question is, how much more will they find out, and who will get caught telling a lie?
Like I said, I know the NCAA knew about CJ Johnson when it happened. Did they do a damn thing about it until all this shit happened this year? **** no, which tells me they know something and are just trying to put all infractions into one package to drop the hammer on our buddies from the North who "make it rain" every January at the library.
