Bjork says NCAA Investigation is over

[mstatefan91]

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

He doesn't have to. Either way, it's bad for his career. I'll grant that.

[Dawgowar]

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.

Screw you for putting that hideous image of Marv back in my skull. Aaaaaaaaaa!

[shannondawg]

Yeah he said he does not expect a 2nd letter. I don't think he would blatantly lie about that. So what's the punishment now? Self imposed 3 scholarship reduction or something?

Headlines say it's over. But read further and you will see. "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.?

Just like Freeze and his under my control. Bjork believes this to be over......Don't trust those 17ers.

The first paragraph seems to be cut and dried:
"The NCAA has told Ole Miss its three-plus year investigation into the school's athletic program is complete, Ole Miss' athletic director said Wednesday."

I guess Bjork could later claim he was mis-quoted, but either it really is over or he is ALL IN.

[Really Clark?]

Even if they won't release the NOA, why no comment on the actual number of violations and the breakdown in each sport. There is nothing protected by privacy in that at all. 99% of all schools at least give out that information when asked about NOA. Looking so forward to sharing info but won't share even the basic most general information that has nothing to do with privacy. Hiding something so general.

Bottom line is that there are very well connected people (some with MSU ties but others without MSU ties as well) saying with 100% certainty that the NCAA has been interviewing 2016 UM recruits in the past few weeks. Between that and Scarborough... Something doesn't add up about this.

They conducted several interviews recently.

This is the same line that was spewed after Tunsil's final suspension was announced- "Tunsil has gotten his suspension and that is the end of it with the NCAA."

He didn't say which program it was. If it was the football program, the women's basketball program or the track program? I still think he is using a lawyered script and they are carefully playing with the way they use words.

[Political Hack]

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"?

It's amazing how much has been forgotten. A timeline sticky with his statements alone would be pretty telling.

[mic]

It's over when the mother ****ing NCAA says it's over.. . Until then nothings over...

[Mjoelner34]

?We can?t wait to reveal all this,? Bjork said. ?We?re ready to tell that story. We?re looking forward to the day to when we can tell this story and put it out there and be transparent beyond what we?ve already done... We?re welcoming that day to tell our story."

The investigation is over if they've gotten the NOA. There's just no guarantee that there's not another ongoing or recently concluded investigation. Also, if the timeline I was told for a possible 2nd NOA is correct of 6-8 weeks, you'd think that investigation would pretty much have to be over as well. At this point they'd be compiling the allegations, betting their findings, and determining what level the additional allegations constitute.

[Thick]

It's not over guys!

[Liverpooldawg]

There is something in that NOA that they very much do not want to get out. Otherwise release it and stop the drip, drip, drip.

Either that or they were trying to make it look worse than it actually is so that they can really spin it positively when it comes out. They could do that as long as their compliant media (to rebut it) and MSU sites ( to build up the negative) were the only ones interested. When the national media got a hold of it they lost control. The stories are starting to turn nasty. Look for ESPN to come out with another damage control article soon I bet. One thing is for sure, one way or another it's going to come out eventually. I hope it drags out for a while longer now. There is some damage being done now, real damage.

[PassInterference]

Well shit. I guess we should finally accept this as truth- they have been so honest and forthcoming to this point...

Ya know when Ross said they were transparent, I think I may have misunderstood. On second thought they are completely transparent.

This was my favorite quote: "There’s facts that are in there that still need to be developed in some situations". Dafuq does that mean?
Facts are facts and don't need to be "developed"...unless your facts are different types of facts that everyone else's facts.
