If Bo Scarbough is not included in the NOA received on Jan 22, then something is fishy with the idea that this is over. 2 possibilities. Bo didn't receive payment from UNM, which is against what every source has been saying. Or they are doing all of their investigations outside of UNM campus. The NCAA can do that without notifying them with a NOI. The other strange part is the definite statement that the investigation is over. That leads you to believe that any additional infractions will have to be under a second investigation not just an added to the first.

Meh this is a stronger statement. I could read between the lines in what he was saying before and knew they were hiding something. I don't get that feeling now. Yes the allegations are more serious then they ever let on but I don't beleive he is lying about the investigation being concluded and no forthcoming letter. Like I said. That's just my read on it.
my cowbell is louder than yours

He didn't answer questions, he didn't release the NOA, he didn't answer anything. They're still dodging and evading, they're trying to buy time cuz they're scared. This ain't that hard to figure out. It's typical guilty behavior.

C34, you got any inside info that refutes what Bjork is saying or shows that it is spin? Genuinely curious here.
I know Rosebowl said that it would be an addendum, other sources have said investigation ongoing. Just interesting that a man who could leave the school and have his morality mostly in check is going to bat for them (if it is a lie). That would have to be career suicide.

I just don't believe the NCAA gives the investigated school a step by step progress report on what has been found during the investigation. That just doesn't make any sense what Bjork says, about they knew what was coming from the NCAA. If that is the case, then the NCAA Investigators need to take or retake Investigating 101.

Bingo.
The NCAA 100% knows about Scarborough- he has already sat out games. If he is in the initial NOA, then maybe that is all there is to it. If not, then there has to be more. We will know eventually. That is the beauty of all this- it will eventually come to light one way or the other.

Bjork did not say the NCAA told him there was no 2nd letter coming. This is what he actually said:
How the NCAA enforcement process works is that Ole Miss? counsel works alongside the NCAA investigator, Bjork said ? another reason why he believes that a second letter is not coming, since Ole Miss has not been notified and ?the same thing would be expected.?
That is A LOT different than the NCAA saying there isn't one coming.
-
I kind of read it like this:
"The NCAA has told Ole Miss its three-plus year investigation into the school's athletic program is complete for women's basketball and track, Ole Miss' athletic director said Wednesday.
Ross Bjork also said that the school has not received (and doesn't expect to receive) a rumored "second letter" concerning more NCAA violations in women's basketball and track, has not been charged with lack of institutional control yet and that football coach Hugh Freeze was not named by the NCAA in any wrongdoing in women's basketball and track."

Obviously not coach but let me offer you this. The article is not so much misdirection for detractors as it is for his own fan base. I promise you that his phone has been lit up like the 4th of July since Finebaum. A major news group is potentially loading up for a Bear hunt and the natives are getting squeamish.
A breaking CL story at 8:30 at night - after Finebaum? No real answers. Nothing he can be held to account for but nothing that truly refutes the rumor mill. This message is to calm his masses.
Enjoy all this, this is what your opponent's misery looks like.

Oh I don't doubt that it may very well all be deflection (my initial reaction withstanding..), but as I said the man better be prepared for a life outside of athletics. Nobody will touch him if he is proven a liar through all of this.

And if he doesn't protect UNM till the day he dies , he has no future there. He has to do this.

Bjork trying to put out fires after finebaum today. Who does he go to? The only media still believing his crap, the cl. This was all spin! He answered NOTHING!
-
Another thought, the damage is already done and a few more lies he tells ain't gonna make it any worse.
-
People forgot when Bjork said "it's over" back when the first whispers of the investigation cropped up years ago -- while most took him at his word -- yet the NCAA "did not comment on ongoing investigations"?

He has no choice but to go all in right now, it's why he is there.
Secondly, they said the same about Marv Albert.
