Ago. There is an investigation going on that if proven goes far more than lose of scholarships or show causes. We are now talking prison time and this is no joke. I think what may happen now goes far beyond the SMU scandal. As was said in the movie nation treasure "Somebody has to go to jail."

This, if is found to be true, could include federal fraud through grants that were illegal due to grade changes.

Yes..

I do think there is a breaking point for Hugh. His ego and pride cause him to be very insecure. I think at a point, Freeze will turn on OM to protect his religious driven image. Think about it, if he goes down in a huge scandal, all those church appearances & the Freeze foundation is essentially done (at a minimum, it will be greatly reduced). I think Freeze cares more about that and his perceived character than Ole Miss.

One reason they may not have fired him yet is he's probably told them that he wants his money(buyout), and if he doesn't get it, he will come clean about everything to NCAA. I'm just speculating though.

If this is the case, wouldn't this be an FBI investigation, rather than an NCAA?

Who is Freeze's Judas? Grant Heard?

I would think both would be involved. NCAA on stuff in their realm, and FBI on anything criminal.

I was wondering when the FBI would get a good lead to get involved.

When you move as money as they were .....There is bound to be some type of bank fraud, racketeering... The network had all the characteristics of criminal organization. It was just a matter of finding the specified unlawful activity they can prove.

It's about PR and getting him to step down. I think he will step down with a pocket full of money. He will say something like it's best for the University to not have the distractions at this time and to help them move on.

Don't forget that structuring cash deposits to get under 10K is also a crime! Might be able to pick a few off with that too.

When all this is brought to light, we should all tweet non-fan McReady '#Network'. He was the biggest one trying to make that a joke and used to put that in most of the tweets concerning the investigation. Ha! 17'n karma Neal.

Completely agree. I'll do the same. He's earned it.

Well, Robert made it to Atlanta, but he promptly pulled a Peter Pan out the motel window.

Thanks Dan Mullen, you beating the Rebs 3 years in a row and getting in their heads caused all this...

Not to mention getting federal funds as grants due to low income upon admission.

Him getting a show-cause doesnt necessarily mean they have to fire him.
