If there is anything that Ole Miss truly cares about, it's their national image. They are dying inside as their national image is shifting from suspected cheaters to the biggest cheaters in college athletics, and it is glorious.
I laughed when reading an OM guy on the rant try to rationalize how their 2013 class was not suspicious. He said:
"Every major program who has had a turnaround has had a big splash instantly. Clemson has had similar results. Sabah at LSU and BAMA had a quick impact, as did Stoops at OU etc etc."
This may be funny to any rational college football fan, but this is the honest opinion of every OM fan. They consider themselves a "major" program, who can make similiar instant "big splashes" as schools like LSU, Bama, Clemson and Oklahoma.
They say, "this is all the NCAA has found after 5 years of investigating?" without asking themselves, why is the NCAA still investigating after 5 years? Why did the athletic department allow violations severe enough to warrant a LOIC after being investigated for 5 years?
They also say, "there is a major leak problem in Indianapolis, and it needs to be addressed and is simply unfair" without realizing that if they weren't blatantly cheating there wouldn't be anything to leak, and if they hadn't downplayed the NCAA investigation at every turn, the NCAA wouldn't be forced to leak the truth so that prospective student athletes can be accurately warned.
They are past the denial stage, and they are in all out deflect mode, and who better to blame than MSU? They truly believe it's our fault when we had absolutely nothing to do with the academic fraud, loaning multiple cars to Tunsil with a blind eye from the administration, allowing a booster to commit over 30 sub violations, allowing 5 coaches to be involved with boosters and impermissible benefits to recruits, allowing 3 former coaches to lie to the NCAA staff, or allowing their administration to lack institutional control.
The one thing they had, "the tape", is now disproven, they have nothing to cling to now and will start turning on each other. Barney already has, who's next?
Enjoy every 17ing second of this, because it is not often that your in state rival is the center of the biggest football recruiting scandal this century. Especially when they not only have been denying wrongdoing, but crediting their recruiting and thus football success to a favor from God himself.
