Blah blah blah. Nothing to see. It's a good thing!
Oh and we need to move the hearing because we still aren't finished with Tunsil investigation?

WTF? Not to your link but I read the article the CL put out about it. It didn't say one 17ing thing about what was in the NOA or what their response was. All it says is they responded and they've been in trouble 3 times before. ******* that paper 17ing sucks.

Hard to imagine it being much worse than this. Amazingly and ridiculously absurd that this has been spun the way it has.
Ouch.

Page 14 of the response refers to Tunsil (not by name of course but when the words highly publicized and stepfather are used...)
Comparing the allegations to the response...
The 9 (or 11, depending how you look at it) scholarships over 3 years that ole miss is proposing as their penalty just feels silly to me.
That's like being on trial for murder and trying to get a plea bargain for a $200 fine.

Maurice Harris, Chris Kiffin and Derrick Nix are all current assistants named for some level of violation.
The Laremy Tunsil draft night fiasco was news to Ole Miss, and the hearing has been postponed while it is investigated.
Cliffs notes version:
- 13 of Ole Miss’ 28 NCAA allegations involve the football program
- 11 of those 13 violations are under Freeze.
- 8 of the 13 alleged violations for Ole Miss football are deemed Level I (most serious).
- More alleged violations re: Tunsil involving the football program will be investigated this summer by Ole Miss
Here's a nice and tidy summary site with links to everything... Including their response. Info graphic is a bonus

Also - on No. 6 - "The Inn at Ole Miss" is on campus and is run by the University if I'm not mistaken. So for Kiffin to "arrange for 2 night's hotel lodging"...someone acting as an agent of the University had to arrange that. Surprised that was listed just as Level II.
That is laughable. I wonder if the NCAA is going to slam them harder for putting such a low offer on the table.
I don't think there's any way the NCAA let's them get away with this without pretty harsh penalties, maybe just short of the death penalty. Otherwise, everybody will be looking to cheat as brazenly as they have. Bring the hammer fellas!!!
