He'll get it soon enough. I don't think he realizes that being a low life doesn't change facts. It might make people skeptical of facts, but the NCAA is going to corroborate anything this guy says before taking action anyway. Dirty people help put other dirty people away in criminal court every day.
Everyone knows every major recruit gets some amount of benefits under the table. This guy is in the position to know everything. From the NCAA's perspective, If he's willing to spill it, I'm sure they are willing to check it out. The trick will be evidence and corroboration.

I think something will happen. May be as little as Tunsil being declared ineligible for a game or two. May be more. But I don't think the NCAA director of enforcement went to Oxford on a holiday weekend for ***** and giggles. I know I'm glad it's not us he came to visit.

I feel like I'm the only one talking about this, but as a program they were already under investigation. The NCAA could choose to hold onto this until they wrap up the broader investigation and add it to whatever sanctions may occur then.
The Stepdad told the writer at the CL that the NCAA came to Oxford and interviewed him. Nobody else has corraborated or confirmed the NCAA even went. Nobody but the stepdad saw them or even heard from them. Also I never saw where it was the "Director of Enforcement". Wouldn't be surprised either way, but I've never heard of NCAA flying somewhere one or two days after an allegation. I'm sure they'll show up at some point or at least they should. And when they do, I'll bet they interview more people than just the stepdad.
Hopefully where there's smoke, there's fire. But as of now it's just a bunch of allegations stirred up by a scorned step dad. It'll be interesting to hear what the mom has to say.

You don't think the CL corroborated the NCAA trip before publishing the story? I mean, I know its just the Clarion Ledger, but that is pretty much journalism 101. The article says NCAA officials were in Oxford and interviewed Miller, it doesn't say "according to Miller, he met with NCAA". For a newspaper to report that as a fact, there is typically some sort of corroboration beyond the statement of one shady character. You may be right that this is a total screw up by the CL, but CBS, FOX, The Sporting News and other agencies are running with the story and you would think at least one of them would check with their NCAA sources to make sure there is some truth to it.
The articles do state that Miller claims the meeting was with the NCAA director of football enforcement Chris Howard. I don't know if that is even a real person, but the articles all plainly state the identity of the interviewer is "according to Miller."

The NCAA doesn't need evidence. They aren't a court of law. All they need to do is believe the story to release punishment.
Georgia complained to the NCAA about numerous things a year ago. I assume Tunsil was one of them since he was their boy since he was in 8th grade. Richt was on Tunsil before anyone else. It infuriated several people when he went to Ole Miss. If Georgia complaining about Tunsil to the NCAA happened and now this is coming up you better believe the NCAA is interested in talking to a family member who is willing to talk.
