Exactly. Vaughn was on staff and correct me if I'm wrong but for a time on Freeze's staff. Again I may be wrong on that. However, unlike Saunders who has already been penalized, Vaughn still has the pendulum axe swinging above his neck. Vaughn already has been fired by Texas, and I would think the only way he can get back to safe ground in any sort of reasonable term is to cooperate fully with the NCAA. If I were the NCAA that's who I would work a deal with.

Edit: checked and I don't think Vaughn coached under Freeze

Vaughn arrived immediately after Freeze's first stint ended, and left just prior to Freeze's return as HC.

Still, I'm sure Vaughn could shed a lot of light. It's certainly plausible, if not likely that Vaughn was told, "how things were done" under the previous regime. Vaughn is connected to Saunders, who was at UNM before and after Freeze.

At a minimum this establishes a thread-of-corruption that is at least one way the NCAA can use to hold UNM accountable for stuff that might otherwise be outside the Statute Of Limitations.

I'd be interested to know if Wesley McGriff was ever interviewed by the NCAA. He was a HUGE part of orchestrating the 2013 class and left right after their season ended to take a job with the saints.
