What is the schedule for OM with NCAA?

[MeridianDog]

As I recall, any response from OM to provide their response to the letter from NCAA was to come at the end of the season. For them, that is where they are right now.

What is the opinion of the board?

When will they report to NCAA Central with their response?

Will the potential issuance of an expanded list of charges and or new charges impact their willingness to provide the response to the first letter?

Will they now attempt to delay any response, claiming that they need to know what else they will be required to investigate and reply to? I know they have "lawyered up" and wonder what the strategy is now that they can see the potential for tough penalties.

Could this "Criminal Minds" story drag out into next season, or will the fireworks begin going off soon?

Will the NCAA see the recent firings as OM's good faith attempt so self-impose penalties, or will they decide it is just Coach Freeze sacrificing a few troops as he lays down some smoke to cover his retreat?

Inquiring minds and all....

They likely have their amended NOA already. NOIC in April then punishment over the Summer.

Is Tunsil's draft night covered in this? I know the NCAA started from scratch on tracking that down. April 2016 - April 2017 sounds like a quick turn around.

They'll start with a romantic dinner at Ajax. Roughly 1 hour.
Then take the party back home and put on a Teddy Pendergrast record and listen to a few songs. 15 minutes.

Then the punishment starts. Yancy, however, won't view it as punishment.

So you think they now have all of the charges? The new NOA ... from NCAA?

Were the recent firings a response to the charges or is that just what they will say to try to deflect the NCAA from further actions against them?

I was told the final interviews were wrapping up a couple of weeks ago so I'm

not sure they have the second letter or amended charges just yet. It's getting close.

I think that if they are cooperating with the investigation, and have had representation present for interviews, they have an idea of what's coming. I don't think it's realistic for them to have the new NOA if they are still conducting interviews, but no doubt they know what will be in it.

To me, this is the perfect ESPN investigative special. I could make a 2 hour documentary already that would pull the attention of all of the SEC viewers and a lot of Football fan interest from across the nation.

There is no way, someone from ESPN won't try to make a name for themselves by doing this documentary.


A good reporter would be interviewing players already.

Way back when, I enjoyed reading "As the plains burn" in Tigerdroppings.com and their coverage of the Auburn/Cam problems. We owe it to those who come after us to provide the excellent coverage of the OM Crash and Burn that I would expect from SPS.

I bet it won't be that porker Wright Thompson.

I read "As the Plains Burn" on the daily. It was awesome coverage/speculation. The ending proved rather disappointing, however.

ETA: Steve's book may be the all-inclusive piece we're wanting.
