Wow. That's a pretty good stat you found there. I knew there assistant coaching turnover was low, but that's incredible.

Wonder if they will have a portrait of the last supper commissioned ? I would buy one for my reb friend for Christmas.
It's coming
Imagine being a fly on the wall of the conference rooms and sponsored rooms of the Inn at Ole Miss and listening in on some of the conversations that have occurred their over the past 6 months.
Here's the thing about Ole Miss. The NCAA has shown that they can be sympathetic to teams that fully cooperate, fire involved coaches and exhibit honesty about the investigation to the NCAA AND public. Ole Miss has done none of that.
Think about this, the NCAA has already shown that they have no interest in protecting Ole Miss when they dropped the first NOA the week of signing day. They obviously did that to hurt OM's recruiting class and forewarn recruits considering OM. How does OM handle this? Their ATHLETIC DIRECTOR lied to the public, downplaying the allegations, "freeze isn't involved", "mostly Womens Basketball and Track, footballs involvement is minimal as possible". Their coaches lied to recruits, saying the same things that Bjork told the public.
The NCAA tried to screw Ole Miss before signing day, instead of laying down and accepting it, OM stood up and slapped the NCAA in the face. Ole Miss dug their own grave and then pushed themselves into it.
Will someone please explain the ramifications of Loss of Institutional Control. I understand the concept and what it is, but I don't know how it would impact the sanctions placed on a school. Would the penalties imposed under an NOA become multiplied by some random factor by the COI? Are there different sanctions that could be levied against the institution?
Great article from the NCAA website on LOIC.
Notice the part that's says, "Ignorace of the rules will not be a sufficient explanation -- and it certainly will not be an adequate defense." Lol

I mean, technically, we will see no action on this case until at the earliest October when the COI meets. I think the increase in chatter is centered around the fact that the public has finally started to turn on Ole Miss. Most people don't care enough to actually read the NOA and understand what it's implications are, instead they just listen to OM when they say "no pay for play", "the allegations are not that bad", "15 scholarships max", "it's all but over". However, recently people have actually been looking into the NOA objectively and realizing that Ole Miss is 17ed.
The public is like an avalanche in these cases, everyone is sitting there on the top of the mountain, restless until pushed by another, and once it starts it's like a snow ball effect. The avalanche is making it's way down the mountain and the only people that didn't get sucked into it are the lonely Rebs. Gotta be cold on top of that lonely mountain top, but they just keep adding layers and telling each other that it's really not that cold as they are clinching their teeth so the others can't hear their teeth chattering.
Uhh ohh, I see why LOIC isn't mentioned in the NOA. "Any athletics program must reflect the ideals of the institution it represents...". As we all know the institution know as OM is a breading ground for pompous, delusional, nitwits who fawn over each other and recollect the glory years of pre-integration and dixie lore. Their athletics program was just "reflecting the ideals of the institution" so there is no grounds for LOIC.*********************************************
If that's the case why is the NCAA even there? What they have been doing is totally in line with the ideals of UM. I'd say it represents what "Ole Miss" is all about more than anything else possible by at least a mile. It is the essence of the institution. What's more if they are honest with themselves they can't dispute that. They know it as well as we do.
Maybe the NCAA is there bc OM isn't doing enough to be reflecting the ideals of the institution. Freezus isn't trying hard enough so that's why they will be punished.
But the trick is on the NCAA. The denial and delusion about basic facts is the most accurate reflection of the ideals of their institution. They just "invited" the NCAA to their beautiful town and campus so that they could reflect the ideals of their university even better.
