Not surprising, it's the least detrimental conclusion for both sides. I do wish someone with OM would have to stand up and apologize for Freeze speaking too soon/lying about the wife-beating accusation. It's also worth noting that the legal side doesn't have anything to do with the NCAA side.

How do you know he was lying?

This is almost as shocking as the DA not bring charges against the LSU players. Of course, in UM's case, the legal case was never the issue. The issue is what has the step-father already told the NCAA.

There was no way the Network was going to let this issue get traction. Miller had his 15 minutes of fame and as they say, that is that.

This was clearly going to be the outcome all along. Both were accusing each other, and neither had enough of a case.

Once Miller got a lawyer, logic prevailed, and charges got dropped.

I really don't think you'll see anything on the NCAA front either. You never know with the NCAA, but I don't believe there is anything he can prove.

NCAA has investigated the Tunsil deal four times and every time they've concluded that there was no evidence of any wrong doing.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a PLOI and the Network didn't even need to get involved in this one.

Four times? Someone who's knows these things told you? Or did Bruiser's uncle who's BFFs with Rev Hugh tell him and you two gossiped about it?

Does this mean you're officially out of the closet?

I wouldn't know, but from what I've observed it's a liberating experience.

You can say what you want to say without screwing around with the silly charade.

It's been pretty well documented in the media that the Tunsil case has been investigated several times (including this one) by the NCAA starting with when he signed out of high school. Thought everyone knew that. May have been three times... I wasn't counting. What f...ing difference does it make whether it was three or four? Dancing Rabbit.... what do you mean "Out of Closet"? I'm more of a Bulldog than you'll ever be .... been going to games since the Charlie Shira days! I just don't HATE OM or any other SEC school. And I realize lots of their fans hate us too. We're all Mississippians, so I don't get into the hate thing. I loved it last fall when we were #1 and they were #3 and our state got so much positive attention and press. I like being slightly better than them, but I don't want them to go 0-12 like most on this board do.

the only thing that matters is what pops said to the ncaa in the 3 hour meeting right after the assault. either that will bust it open, or it won't. count me as one that thinks om continues to skate. the likelihood that they are innocent in that recruitment is very, very low, however, those guys are absolute masters at doing this stuff. they have been getting away with it for years despite multiple red flags and likely will continue to get away with it. they keep their **** tight as possible and seemingly wrote the bible on how to maneuver an ncaa investigation.


as i type, tunsil survives his 22nd ncaa investigation.

It's very possible that I'm not looking hard enough, but I can't find anything about Tunsil being investigated by the NCAA other than what's going on now. I'm not accusing you of lying, I just can't find anything nor do I remember anything about the NCAA looking into Tunsil in the past. Anybody got links?

I said "speaking too soon/lying" to give him the benefit of the doubt. But he 17ed up either way. Best case, he heard Tunsil's side of the story and immediately ran with it without doing any further investigation.

I don't want to dig for the articles, but I think I remember seeing it in the CL that they looked into his recruitment once right after he signed, which they did and do for the majority of highly recruited players.

Then there was supposedly another time last year when I think some UGA folks stirred some things up, and they came around snooping.

Neither time was it a formal investigation, but according to the CL, this is the third time they've had questions, and the first times came up with nothing.

Given Miller's credibility issues in this case, I believe it'll take a smoking gun for the NCAA to do anything on this.
I personally don't think one exists, and that's why I expect nothing to come of it.

I've looked and looked and can't find anything via Google.

It was in the CL, as Bruiser just said. I'm not computer savvy and know know how to research and find links from old newspaper articles or blogs. Not interested in doing that anyway. I remember reading about it. Maybe it was just three instead of four. Only thing I ever saw on the Tunsil deal that was unusual was it came out that they promised and later gave a full scholarship to his younger brother.
I fully expect us to beat them in Starkville this year with or without Tunsil.

By my count, that makes 2 times prior to this, not 3, 4, or 5. And the first one of those was just a very routine cursory look they give every high profile recruit, not even close to anything you could call an investigation. As for the promise of a scholarship to the younger brother, that's not a violation anyway. If you want to use 2 scholarships for 1 player, have at it. You're certainly not the first (we've done it on occasion too), and for some recruits it's worth it.

I never said anything "emphatically" or in all caps, etc. I originally said four including this one. Later amended it to three. Never said anything about "counting" either. What difference does it make whether it was three or four? Really?
You guys (in this thread) are the ones who got carried away and stretched it to five and six.
Miller has been shown in court to be not credible. NCAA has now investigated Tunsil three times and the only thing unusual (but not illegal) as an inducement was OM promising his little brother a full scholarship.
We're gonna beat them in Starkville this year whether they have Tunsil or not.
We have plenty of great things going on in Starkville! Why do some of you spend more time hating OM than you do loving what we have going on at State?
I just don't get into the hate thing like some of you. Is that a requirement to be on this board? Really?

Every big time recruit is investigated by the NCAA. I don't know how thoroughly but they are. If we left a trail they would have found it by now.
