Mike Slive has been hired by OM to help fight the NCAA

[Coach34]

Those Bearsharks getting serious about their track and women's basketball programs. No mercy NCAA. Mike Slive isnt being hired for a bunch of secondary violations in football.

Freezus has retained a fairly big name himself for representation I hear- dont know the exact name though.

Ive seen a few misconceptions on other sites and Twitter- so let's address some of those:

1. Nobody on Elitedawgs expects OM to get the death penalty. Hopeful? Yes. Expects? No

2. Nobody on Elitedawgs thinks Freezus is getting a show-cause for whats in the current NOA. He may not get one at all- but the NCAA is trying. As I told you- at least two coaches will get them- Saunders got his and the coach Texas fired is likely #2.

3. Whether it's a 2nd letter or the NCAA adding on- we certainly believe more is coming. The vessel by which the NCAA delivers those allegations doesnt matter. I see the Bearsharks constantly say Hugh Freezus isnt mentioned in the NOA- ok. Well he has hired pricey legal advice for a reason. That pricey legal advice isnt needed if the NCAA is only dealing with allegations that pre-date Freezus as we keep being told. Coaches dont hire expensive lawyers for secondary violations the school self-reports. So if Freezus isnt named in anything- not just the NOA, and its a bunch of secondary violations- why the expensive lawyer?

4. Mike Slive isnt being brought on board to help negotiate the loss of 3 scholarships per year for 3 years. Anybody dumb enough to believe that needs a caretaker to help them in everyday life.

5. David Johnson confirmed the NCAA is still digging- just as myself and Rosebowl have been telling people. The NCAA doesnt do random interviews of top recruits anymore- they stopped that practice a few years ago. The NCAA does however interview prospects that other schools turn a particular school in for improprieties.

6. I still expect 1 or 2 members of the current staff to get a show-cause before all is said and done. Freezus may escape this bullet- but somebody is going to take the fall.

7. I dont expect a penalties announcement on OM before summer of 2017.
