Bjork says NCAA Investigation is over

[Really Clark?]

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.

They are gearing up to dispute some of the violations. Which we never thought they would just accept all of the allegations.

He's either 1) all in and knows either way his career is over.

2) He was using very calculated lawyer talk and allowed the dumb CL misreport it.

3) He was just flat out lying and has no respect for the truth because he knows that OM controls the CL which will allow him to continually spin the message.

4) He can say he was misled by the NCAA since OM is about to be in a legal fight with them anyway. OM loves to play the victim when it's in their interest.

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."

I understand he's not shy about lying. But saying the NCAA has told him this seems pretty ballsy. I guess he's doing what he's told so he'll be set and won't need to work for a while.

I think they're preparing for a legal battle too. It's the only logical excuse to protect the documents at this point. If they don't like what the NCAA proposes, they could appeal or file suit.

NCAA guys, what does this mean?

It might be interesting to see what the NCAA's reaction and response to this would be.

[Mjoelner34]

Funny. He said the same thing in an article from 10/2/2014.

http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports...investigation/

“all NCAA interviews have [been] completed and the school is waiting for the NCAA Department of Enforcement’s next step.”

[Bully13]

This thread has worked well with my chocolate ice cream mixed with pecans. Dulce de Leche mixed in. Tomorrow's a.m. in the shitter should be quite entertaining.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Steve just posted that it is NOT over. That nothing has changed, nothing.

I just went back and read the article over. Slowly. The first time I read it so fast to see what all it said. If you haven't, I encourage you to reread it again. Slowly. I feel better now that I've read it twice. And I tend to agree with Steve.

[BossDawg]

Wild animals will do anything, ANYTHING to survive even for just a moment once backed into a corner. They will bite, claw, snarl or roar just to get away if they feel threatened. Some, like the possum, will play dead. That possum LIES because he knows it will at least buy him some time. Bjork is in survival mode, I'm sure.

[mathistondawg]

I wonder if the are trying to get by this season with mgkelly maybe they think they have a shot at a great season(until they play Memphis or someone then take the punishment the next three to four years?. Maybe that's why they are trying to hold off releasing everything and gonna fight for awhile

Ouch. That hurts.

[chef dixon]

Far from over. Straight damage control mode by Bjork. He doesn't call the shots, the NCAA does.

[yjnkdawg]

Maybe we should send Bjork a shovel, or better yet a Backhoe. Nahhhh, it seems he and OM are doing a great job of digging themselves a big hole to fall in.

Steve just posted that it is NOT over. That nothing has changed, nothing.

Yep......here is Steve's response to a post saying that the investigation is over:

No, it is not.

This is all so bizarre.

He's said what four times now that he's not going to comment further, but he can't help himself.

Nothing has changed, nothing

I have been a member over there for a long time, and typically, with stuff like this, Steve doesn't like to make hard predictions that leave him overly exposed....he usually throws in some kind of qualifier like, "Things could have changed, but I am being told......"

So he clearly feels very good about the information that he is getting.

[NYDawg]

Let's ask GWB what he thinks about this.

[Spiderman]

have y'all read McCready's free article?

As usual just "Christian heppin'". Although I will say it's minor if this is the violation of rides given.

But he wrote it as damage control.

I give them credit, their PR machine is on point. It's brilliant how they used their media guys in recruiting and spin.

Noway in hell McCready even had an inkling of this guys involement unless the school leaked it to him.

They are slowly releasing bits and pieces to soften the blow.

[notsofarawaydawg]

Why the hell are you muther****ers so bent on polishing his knob? Damn, you would believe Michael Jackson if he said he never touched a child. He and other UNM coaches and talking heads have lied and lied and lied and now you are going to just take his word like that and say it's ****ing over. Throw in a bunch of crooked lawyers being orchestrated by Dickie and Archie and you get a pot full of shat stew that is going to boil over at any minute now. They have to tell more lies now after Finebaum spewed shit on them last night and I expect more and more lies before the whole shenanigans are over.

This is just an unbelievable story that I truly hope has an Oscar worthy ending.

Why is an MSU reporter & Elitedawgs getting the story correct and the Ole Miss contingent knows nothing? Yet people still believe them when they speak?

How does Bjork survive this?

If allegations were truly how their people characterized them to friendly reporters, my guess is Ole Miss would have released them already.

Bjork can always do a mea culpa and say "Well, it was my understanding that the interviews were over." Just like it was his understanding that all of the violations were minor infractions from a previous coaching staff.

At this point his words mean diddly.
