OM NCAA response via YouTube

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

1. The first allegation – it is alleged that a prospective student-athlete (Prospective Student-Athlete A) went hunting near campus on private land owned by a booster during his official visit in 2013 and on two or three occasions after he enrolled, and that the access to this land was arranged by the football program. This has been alleged as a Level III violation.

2. The second allegation – it is alleged that between March 2014 and January 2015, a former staff member (Former Staff Member A) impermissibly arranged for recruiting inducements in the form of lodging and transportation for one prospective student-athlete (Prospective Student-Athlete B) (who enrolled at another institution) and his companions on several visits to campus and for the impermissible transportation of another prospective student-athlete (Prospective Student-Athlete C) on one occasion. The total value of the lodging and/or transportation between the two prospective student-athletes is alleged to be $2,272. It is also alleged that the football program provided approximately $235 in free meals to Prospective Student-Athlete B (who enrolled at another institution) and Prospective Student-Athlete C and the friends of Prospective Student-Athlete B during recruiting visits in this same timeframe. The allegation is alleged as a Level I violation.

3. Third, it is alleged that Former Staff Member A violated the NCAA principles of ethical conduct when he knowingly committed NCAA recruiting violations between March 2014 and February 2015 and when he knowingly provided false or misleading information to the institution and enforcement staff in 2016. This is charged as a Level I violation.

In the fourth allegation, we agree that evidence exists to support some – but not all – of the events alleged.

4. In the fourth allegation, it is alleged that between April 2014 and February 2015, Former Staff Member A initiated and facilitated two boosters having impermissible contact with Prospective Student-Athlete B (who enrolled at another institution). It is further alleged that these two boosters provided Prospective Student-Athlete B (who enrolled at another institution) with impermissible cash payments during that timeframe and that Former Staff Member A knew about the cash payments. The value of the alleged inducements according to the NCAA is between $13,000 and $15,600. This is charged as a Level I violation.

The university believes there is sufficient credible and persuasive evidence to conclude that the impermissible contact outlined in the fourth allegation occurred. However, we are still evaluating whether there is sufficient credible and persuasive evidence to support the alleged payments and will make that determination over the course of the next 90 days.

Setting aside those four allegations, the university will contest the following allegations in full:

5. Allegation number five – It is alleged that one former staff member (Former Staff Member B) arranged for a friend of the family of Prospective Student-Athlete D to receive impermissible merchandise from a store owned by a booster on one occasion in 2013 and that Former Staff Member A arranged for Prospective Student-Athletes B and E (both student-athletes enrolled at another institution) to receive merchandise in 2014, 15, and 16. The value of the alleged impermissible recruiting inducements is approximately $2,800 and is charged as a Level I violation.

6. Number six – It is alleged and we will contest that, in 2014 a current football coach had impermissible, in-person, off-campus contact with Prospective Student-Athlete B (who enrolled at another institution). This allegation is charged as a Level III violation.

7. Allegation seven – It is alleged that a booster provided money, food and drinks to Prospective Student-Athlete B (who enrolled at another institution) and his companions at the booster’s restaurant on two-to-three unspecified dates between March 2014 and January 2015. The value of the alleged inducements is between $200 and $600. This allegation is charged as a Level I violation that we will contest.

8. Another Allegation that we will contest is number eight – It is alleged that the head football coach violated head coach responsibility legislation. This allegation is not based upon personal involvement in violations by Coach Freeze but because he is presumed responsible for the allegation involving his staff that occurred between October 2012 and January 2016. Although we disagree, according to the NCAA, Coach Freeze has not rebutted the presumption that he is responsible for his staff’s actions. This is charged as a Level I violation.

9. Finally, allegation nine – It is alleged that the scope and nature of the violations demonstrate that the university lacked institutional control and failed to monitor the conduct and administration of its athletics program. This charge replaces the more limited failure to monitor charge in the January 2016 Notice of Allegations. This is charged as a Level I violation that we will contest.

Consistent with our core values, we must take responsibility for the violations we agree occurred. We have concluded that a recently terminated staff member was personally involved in Level I violations while he was employed by our program. Obviously, that sort of misconduct is not acceptable to any of us, to the university, or to the Ole Miss family. Therefore, based on number and scope of the allegations in the revised notice, the factual information we have available, NCAA case precedent and penalty guidelines, and most importantly, the involvement of this former staff member in Level I violations, the university is self-imposing a one-year postseason ban on the football program for the 2017 season in addition to our previously announced self-imposed penalties. As part of this postseason ban, under SEC rules we must forfeit our annual portion of SEC postseason football revenue for next year, expected to be approximately $7.8M. The decision to add the postseason ban was a joint decision by Chancellor Vitter and myself, and supported by Coach Freeze. We also consulted with our legal team, which includes two outside law firms with extensive experience in NCAA cases.

So would the NCAA accept the postseason ban and forfeit of the 7.8 million and still place them under LOIC?

[HSVDawg]

can anyone give cliff's?

Here is a summary:
- 8 new specific violations, including 5 new level I's
- One of the 5 level I's was Freeze being charged with failure to monitor
- 9th all encompassing violation charge of....lack of institutional control
- OM is self imposing a bowl ban for 2017.
- OM basically accepted two additional Level I's with no dispute, and is partially accepting a 3rd.
- They are disputing the LOIC and failure to monitor charge
- Somehow, none of the new allegations are related to the draft night fiasco.

Long story short, they are screwed and not just a little bit.

I spit my food out onto the computer when I saw this. I'm dying hahaha

I'd have to say "Yeah".....

[BeardoMSU]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to starkvegasdawg34 again.

Hope you saved some reserves, SVD....this is just the beginning.

[BeardoMSU]

It's just bizarre that the Chancellor of the university is sitting up there locked hand in hand with Bjork and Freeze. When does the University, as an institution of higher learning, take precedent over winning football games? If this was my school, I'd be ****ing pissed. That place is a damn cult.

This is indeed the beginning. This is not all that's out there.

[Political Hack]

They're contesting everything. This is GREAT!!!! They're fried.

[bulldogcountry1]

Even as bad as this looks, it seems as though a lot of this stuff is "old". I was expecting to have more from draft night to present. Are we sure this is everything?

I found this odd too.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

How the hell does Freeze sit up there talking about integrity and say, "I am extremely disappointed to learn that any member of my staff violated any SEC or NCAA rules, and as the head coach, I regret those actions", when he himself took a booster to a recruits house on a recruiting visit? Damn, I wish these talking heads would point some of this crap out and throw it back in his face.

[WSOPdawg]

Somebody check on stark, he's dehydrated from all the splugee-ing he did... lololol. That's great, rep given.

[TrapGame]

So, I'm counting six Level One violations in this NOA. A total of 14 when added with NOA numero uno.

They're screwed.

[RocketDawg]

So did the NCAA investigate Tunsil's draft night goings on and find them to be untrue? Or is there more to come? It's really hard to tell.

[WSOPdawg]

Allegation #4 lists a dollar amount ranging from $13-15.6k. Would Prospective Student Athlete B who received that money by Scarborough at Bama (which Saban made him pay back)?

[I seen it dawg]

can anyone give cliff's?

Shitbirds are ****ed
