Im beginning to think Mississippiwill get the Death Penalty

[lamont]

They are going to lose 30 schollys at a minimum and have a year or two bowl ban. From there is gravy

[Dawgology]

Yup. And An amended noa means that it's all still part of an on going investigation , not a new one. Repeat offender status would not come into play until AFTER sanctions have been handed down by the comm on infr

Sanctions have already been handed down in basketball and track. I do believe that counts for LOIC and the death penalty right?

They should get LOI for a number of things but they still have to be under repeat violator status for the death penalty.

[Maroonbulldog]

I've been saying that for over a year. And PLEASE stop with the "no longer on the table" argument because the NCAA never took it off the table.

OM is daring the NCAA to throw the book at them and I believe that the NCAA will oblige. Why? Because OM's case is basically USC and UNC combined. 90% of what is discussed on ED is the financial inducements but the most damning part of OM's transgressions is the academic fraud which we already know that the NCAA knows about through David Saunders.

Contrary to what the nitwits up north believe the NCAA doesn't have to WANT to hammer OM. OM has put themselves in a position that the NCAA will HAVE TO hammer them or all of collegiate sports will turn into the wild Wild West as Saban put it.

Please indulge me here:
I see this case as the NCAA is the Empire, trying to keep order, with the Death Star in orbit, and Ole Miss is Alderaan.
USC and UNC are Jedha and Eadu.

Damnit, we speak English here. This isn't Alabama**

[Frexzell]

Scarif?

[Bothrops]

They are gonna get it worse than most think.

[Corn Bread]

Scarif?

My understanding from a friend who has connections is this, the death penalty is not on the table for OM. The problem is the NCAA has so much confirmed infractions and they continue to come in. When do they decide enough is enough and move forward. Personally I think repeat offender status is on the table being under investigation and continuing payola.

The only problem is that Hugh Freeze is Emperor Palpatine. He seemed good hearted but then showed that he was totally engulfed by the dark side. He produces many talented apprentices but they all seem to get have tragic ends.

Yes, the Rebels will get a direct shot from the Death Star but there will be no return of the Jedi.

I know a lot of Star Wars fans dislike the pre-quels, but....

It's more like Ole Miss is the Trade Federation and the NCAA is Darth Vader in Revenge of the Sith. Ole Miss knows that what they are doing is greedy and underhanded- but at the same time they also claim to "only want peace"- ie "we're just trying to help these poor underprivileged kids".

And at the end of the Clone Wars when everything looked bad but they still thought that they would be alright- here's come Darth to mow them down. And I assume that all of their planets were left in complete ruin by the Empire after the Clone Wars ended but I only watch the movies and not the other stuff.

Freeze is much more Nute Gunray than Palpatine. Tuohy would be Palpatine in this case.

Ha! My thoughts exactly.

[blacklistedbully]

I've said it before. I think I'd prefer they remain in the SEC, just as a cripple. We could use the easy win in-division, in conference. If they were to get kicked out, what are the chances they'd be replaced by an equally inept bunch of asshats? Slim.

Of course, if they were kicked out, it would almost certainly improve our recruiting immensely. We'd have our pick of in-state talent that wants to "stay home". We'd still lose some to Bama, LSU, etc...but we'd rarely lose the ones we've been losing to UNM. And wouldn't it be fun to watch them compete with Memphis, USM, ULL, La Tech, MTSU, etc for recruits?

I think the proper term would be "nerding".

The worst thing about them getting kicked out is we would have to use an OOC spot on the Egg Bowl. That's the worst thing on our end. Getting kicked out of the SEC would kill their football program and honestly probably kill USM as well because USM sure as hell doesn't have any boosters that would pay to keep up with Ole Miss.

I had never put much thought into those aspects. I think the SEC goes after an Oklahoma team or teams, West Virginia, or a North Carolina team. No Florida team or any team that is already in an SEC State already.

OM would not join the CUSA or AAC out of pride. They might accept an invite to the Big 12 if they would have them. If I would put my money on them going independent. They could go back to all of their racist emblems and regalia that way.

[smootness]

Holy crap, they're not getting kicked out of the SEC. And they won't get the death penalty.

Screw the Egg Bowl at that point. Just put that trophy in a special place with a monument that says "Permanently Residing In Starkville due to the arrogance of our northern friends. RIP Mississippi." We can double the insult by starting a new trophy with LSU called "The Col. Reb Cup" in memory of what used to be.

[msstate7]

I agree.

I do wonder what happens if OM gets caught again after the hammer comes down. Mississippi is supposed to have a big time talent pool for '19... no way OM doesn't attempt to recruit their tried and true method
