To go read Steve's post from 11:07 last night in a thread titled "Steve?" .
He pretty well refutes Bjork's propaganda on the matter.
Regardless of your opinion of Steve, he called his shot on the Ole Miss investigation and so far has been right on the button.

 

[tatedog]

Two statements before anything actually happens reads weakness to me. And that 2nd letter reading between the lines is pretty sobering considering the fanbase was literally doing backflips after the first statement.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

He has certainly stuck his neck out there and has been right.

Steve is not a bad guy. He was wrong on some things in past years before anyone/everyone, including him, realized the power of the purse.

Good point .. Rose bowl has some made some horrid posts in the past .. but he went 'all in' on this call and he has been spot on so far.

 

[BigLeagueChew]

What has he been "right" about?

Forde printed the same information in 2014 that came out Friday sans Tunsil.

Your desperation is glorious

Yeah right.

Be sure to clock in for working on a Sunday**

 

[DancingRabbit]

Same? He said you received an NOA. Later your AD said yeah we received an NOA.

Don't be surprised when Forde has a follow-up article drop tomorrow or Tuesday. Maybe he'll give you some "new" info then.

I find it funny that you guys are now crowing about how you knew about this all along and it has been reported for years.

Of course, not too long ago anyone who mildly insinuated that the NCAA might be looking at UM was swiftly called an obsessed, delusional leghumping homer. Either you were lying then or you're full of **** now.

Regardless of which it is, I enjoy watching narratives and party lines change as information comes to light.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Now that is more like a story on Ole Miss having trouble... At least two paragraphs on MSU troubles at the end.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Perhaps THEY all knew about the contents of the NOA before now because THEY are all "stock holders / investors". Like for example if you had an Ole Miss prospect who wanted $10,000 to sign---OK if you have 1 person shelling out $10,000 that is easy for the NCAA to find out, they just have to nab 1 person. But if you have 1,000 giving $10 each then the Ole Miss prospect would still get his $10,000 and it would be much harder for the NCAA to nab 1,000 different people.

But to make this example work each Recruiting Season, Ole Miss would need a large group of these "stock holders / investors" they would almost need...a..."Network" of these people.

Bjork definitely has big cahonas. Does he fight with everyone?

Oh really? Funny how they describe the Freeze violations as "secondary", yet don't with Nutt violations, as if major violations from the previous staff will be ignored. Also they admit "most" of the recent Freeze violations involved Tunsil, meaning there are brand new ones involving the current staff.

Not only that, but they are around the "process" of getting Tunsil cleared. What kind of violations can you acrue during a clearing process? Maybe someone said something that wasn't truthful? Ask Jim Tressel and Bruce Pearl how the NCAA deals with liars.

 

[patdog]

Funny how they describe the Freeze violations as "secondary",

Tunsil being given a free "loaner" car for 6 months by a booster isn't a secondary violation.

 

[RecSportsFootballCollege]

Take that one up with Steven Godfrey and the Ole Miss coaching staff.

That's OM's PR. They want to try and save their recruting class. If these are minor or nothing to it type violations, as they say, then why don't they release the contents of the NOA? And also the AP release said there was still an ongoing investigation. Pass the popcorn.

 

[BossDawg78]

Delete. Just saw the other thread.

 

[RockstarFromMars]

My favorite part of this picture is the the state championship ring. Can't believe our influence stretches all the way to Illinois HS football.

 

[patdog]

I don't think there's any question they're "all in" on this recruiting class. I think they know this is going to be the last one for a while they're going to be able to be this blatant in their recruiting.

 

[jb1020]

I like Steves run down

3 hires under bjork have programs with issues. No one really knows what the issues with the track team are at this point, but many speculate boosters filtering money thru the track team to the football team. I have no idea, but the wbb stuff came out in detail, why haven't the track violations?

The tunsil violations simply can't be viewed as secondary. While it might not directly involve a coach they have one player admitting to 3 different loaner cars and $3k in cash that was given to him as a "loan."

Plus cj Hampton "held on to a rental car" for 3 days too long.

But the stuff under freeze isn't really anything major, just smu style football on the heels of a pretty major academic fraud ring orchestrated by one of their own.

Nothing major at all really.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste ..

Forde printed the same information in 2014 that came out Friday sans Tunsil

and you must have gotten a degree from Ole Miss. Major differences in the two. With a quick scan of the 2014 article ..
In 2014, AD Ross Bjork confirmed that OM “is working with the NCAA” in an ongoing investigation. Bjork said the school has not received a Notice of Allegations from the NCAA. So, you don't think OM has been given a NOA?


"The OM football and women’s basketball programs were subjects of the investigation." You can now add track and football AGAIN, under Bucky. That's 3 different sports and 4 head coaches implicated .. all under Bjork. Sounds like 'lack of Institutional control' to me.

The source said the current football staff of head coach Hugh Freeze is not believed to be implicated in any major violations. Well, Bucky's team is now been implicated. Big difference in 2014.

The football inquiry dates back to actions by a previous Ole Miss staff. OM admitted to nineteen minor violations in 2014. Wait, thought the latest letter listed 30 violations. Bjork NEVER said that all were MINOR.

I bet your favorite part of that picture is when you imagine you're a blonde.
