The money quote : "The NCAA has conducted an investigation into Ole Miss' athletic department that has dragged on for more than three years now. The part of the investigation involving Tunsil heated up this summer when Tunsil"
But I thought this was all wrapped up years ago and was just an ED fantasy??**
Seriously - 3 year investigation is approaching Kang status. Are they ever going to act?
That's the fist time I've seen Cannon Motors dealership mentioned. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that used to be the main sponsor of Neal McReadys rivals podcast until a couple of months ago. Maybe they had to cut ties???
Over a loaner car from a dealership..probably a decked out Tahoe or escalade. That's one loophole they won't be using anymore to bend the rules. You have to believe after "3 years" of investigating the ncaa can get them on more than a rental car. With tunsil out, I believe the small chance they had to win has went out the window
Lol this is great.
I thought Chuck Rounsaville tweeted that this was all BS and the NCAA needed to stay away from this crazy situation.
"Me and my coaches have done things the right way in our recruiting efforts". How can he say that? He knows what his boosters are doing, so turning a blind eye is not "the right way". I'm not saying we don't cheat, but we don't sit there like Bill Clinton pointing at the camera insulting the World's intelligence about it either. Freeze is a disgrace, and it really pisses me off that such a self proclaimed (and repeated on the hour) "God fearing" man can sit there and lie to and manipulate everybody with such a straight face and no guilt.
Newsflash, Hugh: If you're choosing to participate and/or turn a blind eye to the OBVIOUS cheating that your program and boosters do....it's not "the right thing to do". Choose to ignore it, say "no comment", but don't look the World in the eye and tell a bald faced lie behind those smug teeth of yours, and expect us all to believe it.
Give em hell, NCAA
.
Hate to say I told you so...
Not really. I enjoy saying I told you so. This has been brewing for a long time.
Three years and the NCAA has nothing? No, it's taken three years to get all the ducks in a row.
This is gonna be great!
Please give freeze a show causeQuote:

IT'S here....
"Tax evasion" sounds good to me.Quote:

If I wasn't a Christian I would say I'm afraid for his soul. You know it's not even the minor infractions that are so prevalent in D1 sports or even the monies that players get, when schools stay within the appropriate slots within their region. Yeah they went nuts and should be spanked. But as a supposed man of faith that uses his position as a platform for a ministry, I have serious doubts when you won't even at least attempt to clean up the "party" during the recruiting visits and the blatant gall to say some of the things he does and call out fans on social media. Knowing he can't not possible make definitive statements on this topic without it being a lie or at the very least manipulation of the truth to fit a purpose of self service. The bible paints a clear picture of what is to be judged and by whom and also tells us the discern what is being spoken by the persons actions and life they live. It's your program and they are underage young people you have in your care during these times. I'm not saying all they can do is go to church and in bed by 8 pm. But at least reign it in to what a normal high school student would be exposed to.Quote:

They just ticked off the wrong guy this time it seems.Quote:

Look, I know we aren't perfect. I'm sure everybody pushes the envelope, if not flat out cheats. But come on, does the om administration and freeze really expect people to believe their all American tackle shows up in a new vehicle at the facility every day and they didn't notice it? Please. Spare me the we didn't know anything line.
If the rumors are true, it was 2 months to 8 months extended rental for repairs to his car. A cracked windshield. And Tunsil told this to the NCAA himself. Again just rumors. But a cracked windshield that can be replaced in a hour or two in your own parking spot required a rental car? And what was the rental? Big difference in price between a Cavalier and Tahoe. (I have no clue what he had but that makes a difference in the actual cost of the improper benefit)

That fact that the NCAA was quick to recommend bench LT leads me to believe they have very little other incriminating evidence on other recruits.
Hate to ruin the party, but this tells me that out of 3 years, OM will get penalized for a loaner car. That's it. Why do some of you think it's more than that? I'm seriously asking, Bc I may be missing something.
Good point, but How do we know the ncaa has told mississippi it would be unwise to play tunsil? Did I just miss that?Quote:

I think NM did that on their own. I think Pastor Freeze thinks they have a good enough chance to win in his squirlly liitle brain and think they dont need him. I bet they get beat by Bama and give upo a few sacks, you see him. He has been watching ESPN's FPI rankings too much and thinks that Machine Gun Kelly makes them something they aint. Hell i wouldnt be surprised to see him set out the first half and they are getting beat form them to all of a sudden say he is ok to play in the 2nd half. Yet, every NM fan thinks this is the "systems" way of making sure they dont beat Bama 2 years in a row.

Well it matters if you are saying the reason they are not playing him is bc the ncaa told them not to play him and only him, and therefore the ncaa is not looking at any other players.Quote:

He's expected to play this week.Quote:

The NCAA has already told them not to play him- thats why he hasnt played. They havent finished investigating- thus no ruling. Chris Low aint getting his info from Northern Miss- they didnt want all this coming outQuote:

And as others have said, if the NCAA has indeed been there investigating for 3 ****ing years, and all they've uncovered is this, OM is getting off easy.Quote:
