Just catching up some on Twitter tonight. Are there some Bears insinuating that Steve has been silenced by maybe some lawyers on the behalf of UNM? It would be just like some of those assholes to try and pull a stunt like that.

Steve has been hinting on Twitter he has a big announcement coming up. I saw whee a bear tweeted him asking if he'd been shut up and he responded back it was just the opposite. Just waiting for some things to be reviewed. Now, based on that I've seen speculation that the big announcement was anything from a huge bombshell on the Bears to a new media venture. Your guess is as good as mine on that.
I believe it has more to do with business.....

So now there are Ole Miss lawyers trying to abolish the First Amendment??Quote:

Vaughn had been on staff as well. I would think Vaughn would have the most to gain by cooperating at this point. First, he wasn't caught up in the ULL case that has been adjudicated already. Second, given that he was recently fired from Texas, he has an incentive to cooperate and minimize his personal penalty, if any.Quote:

He just said yesterday that "it's gonna get worse" I don't think he is backing off anything.Quote:

However, unlike Saunders who has already been penalized, Vaughn still has the pendulum axe swinging above his neck. Vaughn already has been fired by Texas, and I would think the only way he can get back to safe ground in any sort of reasonable term is to cooperate fully with the NCAA. If I were the NCAA that's who I would work a deal with.Quote:

Vaughn arrived immediately after Freeze's first stint ended, and left just prior to Freeze's return as HC.Quote:

At a minimum this establishes a thread-of-corruption that is at least one way the NCAA can use to hold UNM accountable for stuff that might otherwise be outside the Statute Of Limitations.
I'd be interested to know if Wesley McGriff was ever interviewed by the NCAA. He was a HUGE part of orchestrating the 2013 class and left right after their season ended to take a job with the saints.
He is at Auburn now.Quote:
