You yourself have stated that their sole mission was to protect Freeze and they were All-In on it- what do they do now that that policy has no chance of surviving? Do you act quickly or do you spend time crafting a strategy for the best way out?

I kept thinking somebody at the top of the University could intervene, whether for show or actually action notwithstanding, and clean house on their athletic department. That might have kept this from exceeding USC level sanctions. No way that can happen now. The only strategy they can debate is how they justify their lies to a soon angry alum/fan base/state of Mississippi.

Wasn't there some smoke early on in this investigation about some funds via pell grants or student loans funneling from the Track team to the football players??? Maybe someone rolled on that scam too?

Aw Horse Cum, the FBI is too busy trying to find the Tunsil "Leaker"

This is what concerns me, if all being said here is to be believed, how is Hugh still employed?

Good question. He's costing them around $13,700 per calendar day in salary alone. That's about what it costs for one in-state student to attend school for a year.

It all comes full circle. They were telling us all along like the Sixth Sense it's WBB and Track.

Ain't nobody gonna take that job not knowing what's coming.

And just like Bruce Willis, Hugh Freeze doesn't know he's dead.

This kind of gets back to Devious' post about Musgrove (in the Huffington Post) defending Dan Jones. When the Network officially took over and had Jones ousted, that arguably removed the largest obstacle in the path of the Network. You reap what you sow, and the time to pay the piper is fast approaching.

Makes you wonder if Dan Jones was runnoft for not toting water for the right parties.

ETA - It was 23 months ago when he was pushed out.

Stupid ass plantation southern arrogance. Must be in their DNA. Oxford is Tokyo and the Second NOA is Godzilla poking his head up in the bay. About to be some serious lizard action stomping their asses.

Freeze is probably going to be forced to resign "fired" the day the response to the second NOA is released. They'll try to lump all the bad news on one day. If they fire him now, they'll have to go through two bouts of bad publicity, and with the bears, public image is the most important.

Hindsight is 20/20 l, but they should have run him off after the Egg Bowl. At least they would have had some cover.
On another note, I wonder how many Ole Miss fans come here to get their news about the investigation? Click..... No, too easy.

Weird analogy, but I like it.
