No NOA talk?

[bulldognation]

I know life is good. Pieces falling into place for a run at Omaha for the Dogs while the Rebs are embarrassed on their own field.
But let's not let the NCAA talk die down.
I mean, all those championships were worth these investigations right?
Oh wait...

 

[BossDawg78]

It's coming.

I never claimed to have any inside sources or anything like that, because I don't. But a week or so ago I did have the rare occasion to chat with someone I know is on the front lines (not Rosebowl's Boneyard, although this guy knows Steve personally). He pretty much said what most people know at this point, that it's gonna get "significantly worse for them", but that it's a long process and we'll just have to be patient.

That's all I got, soooo.....

Things are about to swing back our way in all 3 big sports. Remember how these douchebags have acted. They have a world of pain coming their way.

I'm gonna enjoy the **** out of it.

What ever became of the gambling/points shaving tweets from incarcerated bob? Is he just blowing smoke?

I'm pretty sure he tweeted something about that not too long ago. Something about Bo Wallace and how it's all supposed to drop sometime during this football season. Not sure how he would know when it would "drop" but he's obviously got some sources somewhere. He called the Tunsil stuff, too, about the Western Union payments.

Lot of smoke...more smoke than EVER existed under Jackie Sherrill.

The only thing that worries me is the fact that it will be a long time before the NCAA hands down any sanctions. I think it will be like late 2017 before Ole Miss gets hit. They will try to just go with their own light self imposed sanctions (11 scholarships over 4 years). The NCAA will try to enforce tougher sanctions on Ole Miss.

Ole Miss is already laying the groundwork for a defense of Ignorance to the NCAA---Freeze's comments about the difference between a "mistake" and Intentionally trying to cheat. The NCAA will respond by saying, Tyrone Nix (who was named in the NOA) has a coach since the 90s so he has been a coach LONG enough to know what the NCAA recruiting rules are. And Chris Kiffin (also named in the NOA) has been a coach for a LONG time, his brother Lane Kiffin has been a coach a LONG time, and his Daddy Monte Kiffin has been a coach a really LONG time so Chris Kiffin should know the NCAA recruiting rules.

He doubled down on the information last week via twitter.

 

[121Josey]

So Dick Cross makes fun of Malzahn for receiving a raise in pay/buyout BEFORE a make or break year for recruiting purposes. Does he not realize that Freezus got the same treatment two weeks before the NOA dropped? The guy is dense.

I spoke with someone this weekend whom i now trust a great deal on this situation due to the fact that he quoted verbatim the description of the instructions for athletes to leave questions blank on the act that was in the noa. He did this back in February.

He says there is a coming storm of bad press for them in the form of an article in a major publication. It seems some former participants in the program have spoken to a writer. Was scheduled to come out already but the
Baylor mess has put the story on hold until it can be released without getting overshadowed.

He aaid there are some things we all think om is dead to rights nailed on that wont ever be considered due to people shutting up after the tunsil fiasco. Just my opinion, but that meant the tunsil fiasco with the stepfather.

It was his opinion that its not the violations, but the cover up that will be the most damaging.

They all should know the rules. And certainly a coach that gets paid near $5M a years should know them. Us fans know the vast majority or the rules, or at least the common sense ones, and we don't have a thing to do with the FB team. We know that you don't pay a player, pay his parents' rent and utility bills, we as boosters can't recruit, etc. ad infinitum. Ignorance of the rules is no excuse.

Sources, sources, sources*. I don't

Think the healing has begun yet.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Sort of like Ole Miss leaking false information to several news sources on Jan. 29 saying that the NCAA punishment will be minimal and most of the bad stuff happened under Houston Nutt---just ensure that their Recruiting Class all stayed together.

Drugs.

Ok, not really NOA related but last night I got to thinking about the Drug usage by the Ole Miss star players. Denzel Nkemdiche, Robert Nkemdiche, and apparently Tunsil judging by his gas mask video.

None of these players were ever "caught" by Ole Miss staffers and punished. Sure Robert Nkemdiche got punished but only AFTER a photo of him smoking a Bong showed up on the Internet---Ole Miss didn't catch it beforehand. Denzel Nkemdiche could have died from his over dose and Robert Nkemdiche could have died falling / jumping out his hotel window.

I keep hearing that Hugh Freeze is a "man of Integrity" and a "great Christian man" from folks in the media, but I really think that they are just repeating what Ole Miss "sources" have told them. It seems to me that a Coach who boasts his Christian values and his "family" relationship with his players should have less drug problems especially with his top players / upper class men / leaders.

I think a couple of years back there was a post here about the Drug Policies for each SEC team and I am pretty sure I remember that Ole Miss's was among the most lenient and lax in the SEC.

What do you mean 'won't ever be considered?'

 

[121Josey]

He aaid there are some things we all think om is dead to rights nailed on that wont ever be considered due to people shutting up after the tunsil fiasco. Just my opinion, but that meant the tunsil fiasco with the stepfather.

Bull. They were already dead-to-rights before draft night on those things. They didn't need anybody else to talk because they had text messages (either before or after draft night). Draft night just made it public.

Answer me this: if you are attempting to ruin someone's reputation on national television, are you not going to attempt to ruin his reputation with authorities?

 

[coach66]

I think at one time (Nutt) they were one of the most lax. I think it is the

Same for everyone now. The Spice isn't a problem because it's a better drug it's because
there is no test for it. Very dangerous to basically be encouraging the use of Spice for all
the schools, **** will kill you or mess you up for life.

 

[patdog]

It's definitely not the same for everyone now. Each school sets its own recreational drug testing and punishment procedures. UM's is still one of the more lax in the SEC, but it has been tightened up a little since the Nutt era. Of course, it really doesn't matter what your procedures are if you bypass them in some cases.

 

[coach66]

I stand corrected, thought that field had been leveled.

[bulldognation]

I have a crazy thought:

What if Nkemdiche was pushed?

 

[RocketDawg]

Have you seen the size of that guy? His arms are bigger than my legs and he weighs 300 lbs. Who could push him? Maybe Tunsil, but that would be iffy.

 

[bulldognation]

Wasn't Tunsil in the room? Or was it Treadwell?

Any more news on the article that's supposed to be coming out?

Small correction. Apparently, they bypassed Denzel Nkemdiche, Robert Nkemdiche, and Laremy Tunsil when they were "testing."
