NCAA investigation of OM for 3 years??

[ScoobaDawg]

God, I hoped that I'd never have to read/hear that name again...

Richard "I'm the guy that buried Bama" Johanningmeier...

ugh...

Oh hush. I was living in Northport at the time and laughed my head off, Bama should of gotten the Death penalty and that was proof it would never happen again.
Like it hurt that bad in the end. Hard to have any sympathy when Bama is Bama again.

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 is typical for the NCAA. I suspect that they were going to act and then the Tunsil thing happened and they were able to gather more evidence and that changed everything. If I had to guess, they'll probably announce something early next year.

[Apoplectic]

wow between tunsil, CJ furniture, and WBB this program is out of control!

[Apoplectic]

Nice pic Hugh Kellenberger!

There's a lot more to this. If a 3 year investigation hadn't turned up anything until now, it would have been closed long ago (provided the investigator isn't banging a rival booster). There's been smoke in Oxford and everywhere the NCAA looks up there just turns up more juice.

Just when was Tunsil gonna return this loaner that the NCAA found him driving? Did no Ole Miss staff notice Tunsil was driving a new car that his modest parents couldn't afford after a questionable family relocation to Oxford? How long until the NCAA is on to The Network and the Twitter catfish whom Freeze followed and out-scooped all the recruiting writers? Did the NCAA get to see all those emails that Ole Miss withheld from Kyle Veazey? As much as Freeze likes to run his mouth in defense of himself, has the NCAA caught him in a lie? Why was Bjork so out-in-front with saying "but but but this envolves none of our staff"? We see what happened the last time Ole Miss tried to jump out in front of a story.

Another Elite Dawgs conspiracy? Wherever you choose to get your information, we know one place that's proven unreliable and that is Ole Miss.

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.

I'm with ya. If anything happens it won't be anything that actually teaches them a lesson. I'd even bet that little to nothing will happen at all. The NCAA is just blowing smoke here and going through the motions.

[Maroonthirteen]

When investigations take 3 years, that means there is a lot being looked into. Therefore lots of interviews to conduct and allegations to document.

Dodson has a loaded Dodge Charger. Walton has a nice camaro. Devinner boys...NCAA will have to dig and dig for that info. Devinner ain't talking about them.

With this dragging out and now ESPN writing articles, does this affect OM recruiting this year?

It only takes 1 player to get probation. Probation these days is like a badge of honor though. Bama, LSU, an State all had arguably their best seasons in school history while on probation.

They interviewed dozens of players during the most recent State investigation and only 1 had to sit... Still got some minor penalties. It only took 1.5 years. What type of punishment you think the ncaa is going to levy after investing 3 years of resources into this investigation? I can promise you it'll be more than what State got.

think about this... They didn't even sit Cam Newton during that fiasco because of his nfl future and potential losses. They weren't scared to sit Tunsil despite him being a lottery pick.

If Tunsil tried to hide anything during the initial interviews, he'll never put on an OM uniform again. If he was up front, he'll be back in a few games and have to pay for the "rental services."

this will end with a 4 game suspension and nothing more.

[FISHDAWG]

I wonder why the boards new guys haven't thrown in on this thread

[basedog]

As for as a 3 Year investigation, the Ncaa isn't bout to show their hand. The boys up North have a lot to worry about. Usually when their is a fox in the hen house they get more than one chicken. The Ncaa has time and money and the hammer will be dropped!

My question is when "when hell Freezes over" what happens to the devil?

RT @CoachHughFreeze: If you have facts about a violation, email compliance@olemiss.edu. If not, please don't slander the young men

The tweet that will live an infamy for the rebels.

[BB30]

I think its hysterical that most of the OM faithful honestly think this was just a "his car is broken down and he needed the rental" he did nothing wrong. Do they really think he would have been suspended if that was the case, much less sit the bama game.

[Liverpooldawg]

Still though, the fact that the only major thing being mentioned is an "extended" car rental, tells me that OM, if guilty of more (obligatory sarcasterisks*****), has likely covered their tracks very well. 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.

Defending the Confederates again I see. Interesting pattern.

It's called entitlement. UM fans are the worst.

[TrapGame]

I want the entire house of cards to come down and laid at the feet of Reverend Freeze. I want to see his phony, pious ass crying like Jimmy Swaggart begging for forgiveness!

[Ifyouonlyknew]

I don't know what the end game of all of this will be but I think it's funny how our fans never believe anything will happen to OM. 1st it was he will never miss a snap, then it was no way he misses the Bama game, to I bet it's only 4 games, & nothing will happen to the program. I think we all see that nobody knows what's going to happen & it's best to just sit back & wait & watch. May be something may be nothing but anybody speaking in absolutes usually doesn't know anything.

[Really Clark?]

It is kind of funny how many try to play lawyer since it's known for that. Bringing lawsuits against the NCAA, they don't have subpoena power, etc. First off you agreed to participate in NCAA events and agreed to adhere to the NCAA guidelines for athelete eligibility. Not going to get into any debate about those rules or the NCAA in general, but the point is they and all of the NCAA schools agreed to abide by those rules. So they as an organization do have power in how they will enforce those rules. Some of their fans act like the NCAA has no power all you have to do is lawyer up and they can't sanction you or a player. Delusional. Secondly, this is not a court of law where even if you have information it can't be used unless it has been obtained through proper channels, subpoena, discovery, etc. The NCAA has been investigating for 3 years. In less than a week they knew what every player drove and that cars history and have kept tabs on that. And they have the right to investigate per their own rules that you agree to adhere to. And just because they ask for documentation doesn't mean they didn't already have documents. Pretty good way to catch the program in a lie. Now private citizens don't have to provide the NCAA with anything. But as this is not a judicial case, the NCAA can decide that not cooperating is an admission of guilty of something improper. Do that enough times and the punishments can become more severe. They can justify any thing in their minds but at least have some common sense about some of this stuff.

I'm just tempering my expectations. We've talked for years about how dirty they are and nothing has ever happened to them, so there is a "believe it when I see it" element to anything that goes on
