The Inn at Ole Miss: Just a hotel, or The Network's money laundering cheat Palace?

[DeviousDawg]

The way the relationship between The Inn and the University is explained screams lawyer speak to me.

"The hotel is it's own entity"

"The hotel is owned by and answers to the University"

"The hotels employees are responsible to the University"

"but it gets no university or state funding"

"the sponsorship money serves as a funding mechanism for renovating and expanding the Inn at Ole Miss"

"the sponsorship money is a one time gift to the university"

I would bet loads of money that Walter Hughes made this one time gift to the Inn/University/Network. Unfortunately, there is no way to find a list of the Inn's "sponsors" online, but I bet someone could find it somewhere.

Ole Miss is obviously pushing to downgrade Harris's involvement in the NOA because he is the link between Hughes and Freeze. Ole Miss wrote in it's NOA response:

"Thus, while the university does not dispute the underlying fact that these benefits were provided and that Harris at least acquiesced to their provision, it disagrees with the enforcement staff's overall characterization of Harris' involvement"

Walter Hughes is obviously trying to protect Maurice Harris because Freeze knows that Harris is the link between Freeze and Hughes. I'm telling yall, this is the plan. Freeze asks Hughes to do an interview with Alford to downplay Harris's involvement and thus keep himself safe and distanced from the relationship between Hughes, Harris and Freeze. This is why they are only arguing against the allegations that involve Harris and Hughes. In Alford's interview with Hughes, he closes the article with a quote from Hughes:

"Not coach Harris or anyone ever asked me to do anything. That's what hacks me off. They're trying to tie in my relationship with coach Harris and these kids as a recruiting scandal. That?s the furthest thing from the truth there is."

How ironic would it be if a relationship Freeze made through the FCA is his ultimate down fall?

A side note: Remember Gaye Buker, The Inn's General Manager and Alumni Association member? Well.... her alumni association page is conveniently down for the moment. Error code 404: file not found. "The page you are looking for might have been removed,
had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable." Hmmmm, dissociated booster maybe?
