I'm all for exposing the network for what they are, but they are not involved with baseball recruiting. There is no way they are coughing up the millions it would take to cover the signing bonuses some of these guys are legally offered. Ole Miss signs top 10 recruiting classes in baseball, because just like us, they are a top 10 college baseball destination.

Bianco's son is currently committed to LSU. That would not happen in football. I've had two people close to me sign with Ole Miss baseball, I can assure you of no foul play. If Ole Miss has anyone in their athletic department to be genuinely proud of, it's Mike Bianco. He's a great coach that does things the right way. Hard to admit, but it's true.

Devious, I'm just saying that because it wasn't mentioned in the NOA doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

I'm extremely interested to learn more of the sting the NCAA ran on the booster-owned apparel store last spring and if its going to be mentioned in the NOA recently delivered. My bet is that the Network has reached out to all of the major men's athletic teams recently, especially if they've shown success (which men's BB made several tourney trips and the baseball team made Omaha recently as well - I'm just not buying that these guys weren't rewarded as well even though it may be difficult to prove).

As for Bianco's son, his dad played at LSU and the son probably grew up with LSU in his blood also. Plus, Bianco's felt some heat during the past few years and he may also be leary of his future in Oxford.
