NCAA guys, what does this mean?
http://www.clarionledger.com/story/s...over/80175012/
This is some serious spin.
Link? Or quote?
Sorry. Trying to do this from my phone.

That is enough to put an end to the second letter theory in my mind. While he might have fudged the truth a bit previously, this is an outright denial on the record. I don't think even bjork would take it that far. Just my .02
Also says they haven't received rumored 2nd letter, or expect to receive 2nd letter.
Those seem like some awfully confident words for someone who is totally full of shit. I doubt he is willfully and knowingly painting himself into a corner.
AgreedQuote:

Yeah. Looks like IT still hasn't officially come. Ahh well. Maybe we can close out basketball season strong, have a good baseball season, and put together a decent running game in the fall.
Enjoyed it gentlemen.
Yeah he said he does not expect a 2nd letter. I don't think he would blatantly lie about that. So what's the punishment now? Self imposed 3 scholarship reduction or something?
Something is off here. How about the S Carter stuff. If one investigation is finished, another is about to begin.
What Bjork is saying doesn't line up.
Steve has also said a second letter probably won't come. It will be addendum so to the first.
So Ross could be snaking by on the wording here.
Or he's telling the truth and the rest is just people having wishful thinking
Well shit. I guess we should finally accept this as truth- they have been so honest and forthcoming to this point...
I think it goes along with them being all-in. As Bon Jovi so eloquently put it..."Shot doooooooownnnn! In a blaze of glooorrrryyy!"
The sad thing is he admitted that it was over until the "Tunsil situation bubbled up"
Too bad a Treadwell or CJ situation didn't bubble up also.
Like they didn't have a clue about the "Tunsil situation"
We need to go all in, and say screw it too.
Beat me to the punch. Its all in the wording. An addendum to the first letter, not another letter.Quote:

Not doubting you but when did he say that?Quote:

Yeah let's believe him now since he's been so honest about everything involving this investigation. I'm sure he's telling the complete truth now.
We shall see. It would be typical of those f*cks.Quote:

Well I definitely hope so but I'm not holding my breath
Can we merge these 2 threads?
On the BSR Boneyard today.Quote:

Oh, and they still won't release the NOA that did not exist but really can't wait to do so?
Please! I second this motion.Quote:

This is exactly why I didn't get my hopes up. I know we all wanted them to get hammered but it's just not in the cards I guess.. The NCAA is too incompetent. Maybe they will at least get a few years probation
The man hasn't told the truth about this thing yet, why would he start now? Which is more logical that he's telling the truth now or that they're trying to buy more time like they have been for 3 years?Quote:

So funny, even if he was told by the investigators they were through investigating today that does not mean more findings aren't coming, it's all semantics on their end. The last paragraph is total deflection, you have to know how to read these things.
Who's a lawyer on here? I bet they are good with figuring out wordingQuote:

Why won't he answer the other questions? I can guarantee you the answer to those questions aren't good news.
No matter what, none of this can be spun as good news. One level 1 gets your probation. They've got nearly 30, across 3 sports programs, involving staff, that included inducements and academic fraud. It isn't going to be pretty.
le Miss plans to release the notice of allegations and its response in the future, something Bjork said he’s looking forward to doing in an effort to present Ole Miss’ case publicly.
“We can’t wait to reveal all this,” Bjork said. “We’re ready to tell that story. We’re looking forward to the day to when we can tell this story and put it out there and be transparent beyond what we’ve already done... We’re welcoming that day to tell our story. We just can’t do it right now.”
We just can't do it right now bc we need more time to figure out how to get out of this shit.
Mods feel free to merge this thread.
He didnt answer or deny Failure to MonitorQuote:
