So the toothless NCAA...

[Turfdawg67]

... has opened an investigation on OM and nothing here?!? Hmmm... I guess my thread title is the overall feeling and the expected outcome is zilch?

[Santiago]

They can't wait to tell their side of the story ***

[Coach34]

There are no rules now

[viverlibre]

We'd self imposed the death penalty.

It pisses me off that we self report, then cooperate with the NCAA and get shafted. Other programs, with much more serious infractions, fight the NCAA and get little to no penalty.

Might be leverage against OM suing them over chambliss

[Todd4State]

Here's what I would do if I was Dabo. I'd get with every ACC coach and any other coaches that had players tampered with from Ole Miss and I would get all of those coaches to en masse tamper with their players.

If the NCAA won't do anything you just take matters into your own hands and handle it yourself.

That's a separate issue. We'll see what happens with the basketball player from Alabama because whatever happens there I'm sure the NCAA will follow the same route if they are successful. No idea what will happen with that though.

[Pancho]

chambliss and pete tampering are 2 different issues. chambliss case is him alone vs the ncaa. i do see what ya'll are saying though.

You can call it separate, but Ole Miss will spend millions to help Chambliss win his case. Can you imagine them going into next season with an unknown QB, and questions about their HC and OC. No way. They expect to be in the playoffs next year. They will assist Trinidad in the only way they know how! $$$$

Nothing is going to happen. We need to stop wishing for OM to go away and start playing the way they do. It seems to be working a little better.

Unpunished cheating will destroy what's left of college athletics and accelerate the destruction. It will be the proverbial straw that causes fans to find something else to do with their time and money.

I'm willing to bet a sizable amount that won't happen. Ratings are as high as they've ever been and interest in the sport is higher than ever. It may be what causes you to find something else to do with your time and money but not to everyone else.

Also, tampering is cheating. Do you want everyone who tampers to be punished. Because if so, we're going to get hammered for it.

Who did we go after from another team's roster, that would have been considered tampering?

Brennen Thompson, Zion Ragins, Dillon Gabriel, Markel Bell, Jordan Seaton, Anthony Evans, Kendel Dolby, Isaiah Autrey-Dent, Jardin Gilbert.


I could go on. The truth of the matter is that 75-80% of these guys know exactly where they're going before they enter the portal. They're tampered into the portal. If you're not tampering then you'll be left behind.

We didn't get caught if we did. so there's that. Play the game reckless you get reckless results. All of this everyone is doing this is a crazy take when they're investigated that won't hold up. Ole Miss isn't Alabama or a blue blood they should be nervous.

Did our head coach call them after they signed an FAA? I don't believe so. I believe we contacted their agent or someone close to them to "encourage" them into the portal. That is tampering, but it is not against the establiched rules. What Ole Miss did is clearly and presumably provably against the rules.

No Lebby straight up called Thompson during the season and told him to get in the portal. We were contacting Bell all season trying to get him in. Same with Evans last year. Hell Lebby's first call when he got the job was to Dillon Gabriel.


EVERYONE TAMPERS. EVERYONE.

You have no clue about conversations. It sounds good for discussions but Lebby is not stupid enough to let that word out and he's not telling boosters and don't say Bumphis told everyone lol.

Bumphis didn't have to tell me. Lebby and the GAs were quite open about it. Wasn't some big secret. Wasn't like we were going to get punished for it. And what do you know.....we didn't.

The only reason we know anything about it is because its Dabo. He's relatively clean when it come to poral violations. The reason no one else has made a stink until now is because they all tamper too. OM just happened to pick on the one guy who's nose is clean enough to crow about it without anyone turning him in for the same crap.
