Rosebowl gets political...

[lamont]

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

yes they do. He cant be the head coach with a 5-10 year show cause. Freeze is done forever in college football when all this comes out.

[lamont]

Hell, if it was only a 1 year show cause- he would have to leave town every time a recruit came to campus. Keeping him would mean they couldnt have a recruit on campus for an entire year

After this is all said and done, I think Steve's nickname(Rosebowl) should be reconsidered. I think he has earned another one.

I would agree but I think he has embraced it like we have Starkvegas. He's even selling 'Rosebowl was right' t-shirts.

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

If this is proven (and I have no doubt it has happened because after all, it is free money), consideration from SEC removal just took a big step forward because they've got leadership that's gone from athletic cheating to assisting with criminal activity of the federal variety.

The new Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

I laughed.

[Dawgface]

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

Same here.

Steve "Lone Ranger" Robertson?

[RougeDawg]

Freeze has been burnt toast for a while now... I think there are bigger bucks in the cross hairs now.

RP, myself, as well as others, have been saying that 2016 will be Freeze's last season as the OM head coach for well over 6 months now.

Check your PM's.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to CadaverDawg again.

Burn.

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.

This is what I don't get.

If they have a letter and it's "catastrophic" how is Hugh not fired? What do they gain by not firing him now if they know it's so bad? If they think they will have to later, why not now, not only to hope it lessens the penalties, but also to have a coach take over before spring ball.

This is what concerns me, if all being said here is to be believed, how is Hugh still employed?

Doesn't seem logical to me either. Of course, they have downplayed the investigation the whole time. If they fire him now, they have to fess up they have a new NOA and it's nuclear. If they fire him, the press will be demanding the NOA... maybe OM just wants to delay the inevitable. Who knows what they think?

Well, Spiderbear, they are probably trying to find a replacement before they fire the Rev. Then let him step down gracefully... with his buyout and his mouth shut.

Because nobody is going to take that job before finding out the penalties. They are going to get firebombed- what does holding on to Freeze a little longer matter?

[Dawgowar]

Okay - chew on this. IF, IF this shit show at the Harvard of the Douchebags is proven to involve government corruption then things could get worse beyond state legal charges. Not sure the Feds would get in a low hover over this stuff if the state takes action. They may nail some individuals or levy financial penalties but there is no precedent for them sticking their noses in.

UNM has something bigger to worry about and frankly so does the state of Mississippi's Department of Education -

The accreditation of UNM could be on the chopping block. Depends what evidence says, but if the government is found to have officials undermining the university's primary function for athletics - ouch. This is going to leave a mark.

How would you like to have a kid in Oxford, two semesters from finishing a degree, find out his college is no longer accredited or has it's accreditation on probation? Auburn got warned about something Lowder and company were doing that was pretty tame by War Cheating Eagle standards. No, not saying they could get closed but their reputation as an academic institution could be placed in the same category as those online universities. Just depends what proves to be true and not aledged. Interesting times.

Spider you're expecting irrational people to make rational decisions.

[lamont]

Its become obvious that OM didnt believe that the NCAA was going to find these types of allegations. They thought they were above all this. They, along with their legal team, are developing the best plan they can think of to fight all this. The amended NOA had to be an eye-opener for them. You yourself have stated that their sole mission was to protect Freeze and they were All-In on it- what do they do now that that policy has no chance of surviving? Do you act quickly or do you spend time crafting a strategy for the best way out?

Well ... maybe some of us. I think it's pretty much an atrocity.
