Rosebowl gets political...

There is no investigation.

Ago. There is an investigation going on that if proven goes far more than lose of scholarships or show causes. We are now talking prison time and this is no joke. I think what may happen now goes far beyond the SMU scandal. As was said in the movie nation treasure "Somebody has to go to jail."

I posted here over a year ago that the academic scandal opened up state funds to students that would've otherwise been ineligible. It's fraud and the tax payers of Mississippi picked up a portion of the bill. MTAG alone for each ineligible kid would be several thousand dollars.

This, if is found to be true, could include federal fraud through grants that were illegal due to grade changes.

Yes..

I do think there is a breaking point for Hugh. His ego and pride cause him to be very insecure. I think at a point, Freeze will turn on OM to protect his religious driven image. Think about it, if he goes down in a huge scandal, all those church appearances & the Freeze foundation is essentially done (at a minimum, it will be greatly reduced). I think Freeze cares more about that and his perceived character than Ole Miss.

One reason they may not have fired him yet is he's probably told them that he wants his money(buyout), and if he doesn't get it, he will come clean about everything to NCAA. I'm just speculating though.

If this is the case, wouldn't this be an FBI investigation, rather than an NCAA?

Who is Freeze's Judas? Grant Heard?

I would think both would be involved. NCAA on stuff in their realm, and FBI on anything criminal.

I was wondering when the FBI would get a good lead to get involved.

When you move as money as they were .....There is bound to be some type of bank fraud, racketeering... The network had all the characteristics of criminal organization. It was just a matter of finding the specified unlawful activity they can prove.

[Jack Lambert]

It's been confirmed. Bucky is a dead man walking. I'm not sure why they haven't fired him at this point. He will not be coaching past 2017 season, if he makes it that long. They could gain some credibility by doing so but I guess they are going to ride the titanic all the way to the bottom of the Atlantic.

It's about PR and getting him to step down. I think he will step down with a pocket full of money. He will say something like it's best for the University to not have the distractions at this time and to help them move on.

[preachermatt83]

Well, I guess its about time to get a Scout subscription and pay this man back for all he's done.

Yup

Don't forget that structuring cash deposits to get under 10K is also a crime! Might be able to pick a few off with that too.

That Network shit ain't so funny now to a lot of Red and Blue

When all this is brought to light, we should all tweet non-fan McReady '#Network'. He was the biggest one trying to make that a joke and used to put that in most of the tweets concerning the investigation. Ha! 17'n karma Neal.

Completely agree. I'll do the same. He's earned it.

[Turfdawg67]

Yep, and if you're an alum, who can you not be (1) embarrassed, (2) pissed off, (3) felt lied to by your school's leaders, (4) feel tarnished nationally, etc?

(5) And wondering... all this and we didn't even get to Atlanta!?!

Well, Robert made it to Atlanta, but he promptly pulled a Peter Pan out the motel window.

[IMissJack]

Thanks Dan Mullen, you beating the Rebs 3 years in a row and getting in their heads caused all this...

[msujan]

Not to mention getting federal funds as grants due to low income upon admission.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

It would be a shock at this point if he isn't show caused anyway which would basically force them to fire him.

Him getting a show-cause doesnt necessarily mean they have to fire him.
