Yeah, 1:20 may be when OM finally had to release the NOA and their response. I'm going to thoroughly enjoy watching their 3:45 moment. It's going to be epic.Quote:

IMO, this story is bigger than the first NOA so there has to be a national writer breaking this in the next 24 hours otherwise it's questionable. Any word on whether a national writer like Forde is on this?

The 2nd hit piece. I don't think he's commented on a 2nd NOA yet. Or at least I have not seen where he has.
If this rumor is true, Bjork will resign before the story breaks. (I would think anyway). I mean, you gotta jump ship when your hair and clothes are on fire right?
Let's have some baseball allegations just to make things perfect.
I'm shocked he is still there for all of this. He is either a fool or in on it all and they have something on him. Or both. Probably both.Quote:

Bjork will not go anywhere, that would be an admission of guilt. They are all-in from the top-down.Quote:

Agree. I think it's all part of "the plan". Cheat like a mug, if get caught, deny deny deny, work media contacts, best lawyers, play the victim, and keep cheating. It's going to take a 3rd party (the NCAA) intervening to fire someone.Quote:

Especially if there is a second NOA and new allegations, then the whole football staff and AD are all done, they will have to fire the whole bunch. IMO the longer this goes the worse it's gonna be for them. They better hope that this football season is the one they all been dreaming of because after this its gonna be a while before they're even looking down at Vandy again.Quote:

They probably would have gotten away with most of it if it wasn't for that night and Freeze's big mouth. I guess you have to have a big mouth to house those teeth....Quote:

If you are going to cheat to the level that Ole Miss does, you need to go after former NCAA staffers as your compliance staff. Ask Auburn. That is really the only way they have gotten out of the shit they were in with Cam.Quote:

It's not rocket science. I am thinking because they have taken this route they have allowed the NCAA to stick around their campus and find things in track, women's basketball, and now men's hoops on top of the football program. I would hate to be an Ole Miss fan right now. And all of their lieing they have done to their fans is just outrageous.Quote:

From the article:
"We have to talk about academics, we have to talk about basketball and we have to recruit," Bjork told the Herald on Friday. "So, to me, until we're contacted (by the NCAA), until we have any more information, we just have to go business as usual and hope that it doesn't become a distraction. He's innocent until proven otherwise.
"All we know is that there was an article. That's it. That's all we know, and that there's pictures. Beyond that, there's nothing else we can do."
Photos of Morton with Shapiro and other Miami assistant coaches in Shapiro's VIP suite at a Miami night club, where Miami football recruits were present, were featured in the Yahoo! report.
Bjork was the Associate Athletic Director at Miami from 2003-2005 and was involved with the hiring process of Haith. Through his relationship with Haith, Bjork met Morton when WKU played Florida International in football in Miami last October.
Ha! I just mentioned your old post about this!Quote:

If Freeze fires Barney Farrar for doing something -- for instance paying Tunsil every month -- that Bjork either had winked at or actively directed him to do, Farrar can bring the whole program down.
There will be show causes... ironically that might work in OM's favor by reducing the leverage of the named coaches
OM is teetering on the brink right now, I think the NCAA is on the verge of proving exactly what was said on this pages: there was a network of boosters coordinating with coaches to offer a wide array of illegal inducements. If that is proven, their penalty will be something close to an order of magnitude greater than the 9 over 3 they were fantasizing about five months ago.

Agreed. And I agree with Clerks that many independent contractors would have been used to complete Death Star 2.0Quote:

Someone with Sexton's office likely wrote the Tunsil letter to Freeze that is now being discussed by ESPN. I'm sure people will request it and Freeze will hand it over and it'll be a glowing review of what a great Christian man he is and a total mouthpiece Hail Freezus media ploy. All of this is being orchestrated right now to keep the Sharks at bay while the NCAA finishes their proctology exam in Oxford. Ole Miss is trying to win the press conference while they can still control something. It'll be over soon enough... And I'm fairly confident it's going to b over for a LOT of people involved with OM's athletic department.Quote:
