How OM is this? (per Pat Forde)

[aTotal360]

One eye-opening element of the Mississippi response was the assertion that Farrar’s personal attorney (not Loyd) was involved in violations. That individual was identified as “Booster 14,” the alleged provider of the $10,000 payment to Lewis.

That should tell how tight all these guys are. And somehow Freeze knew nothing of this? I bet Freeze plays golf with this dude twice a week.

Who was in that Ridgeland photo walking side by side? Was it Hugh, Ross and Barney? Were they in town visiting the same attorney together? I can't remember..

Pat Forde: "[FONT=&quot]Mississippi’s most difficult task in combating the lack of institutional control charge could be arguing that it did not have a pervasive booster problem. The fact that there are 14 unnamed boosters mentioned in the report, and that many of them had to be disassociated from the program, suggests something quite to the contrary.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Despite that, Ole Miss is arguing that it had no reason to suspect anything was amiss."

Yowzers![/FONT]

and this: "[FONT=&quot]But a Notice of Allegations that spans many years, two coaching tenures and a variety of tried-and-true violations – academic fraud, booster excess, rule-breaking staff members and multiple cover-up attempts – opens up the school to the potential for a crushing blow from the NCAA."[/FONT]

B-b-but.....Barney's a rogue and Leo's a liar! And it's all Mississippi State's fault!

What about his quote, " These boosters do not regularly watch games from sidelines or meet prospective student-athletes in lounges or facilities bearing their name." Does this mean that said boosters have facilities in the athletic department named after them? If so how can they be considered unknown to the school as they assert?

I think what they're saying is the boosters named do not have facilities bearing their name.

 

[coach66]

Well, I'll say this, at least one of the names I'm hearing is a regular at Ole

Miss practices.

 

[Dawgmatism]

Archetypal Ole Miss. The response reads like it was written by someone who thinks they are the smartest person in the room.
NCAA will reply like a nightmare cell mate "You may be the smartest guy in the room, but I'm not here to debate ya....I'm here to 17 ya."

It specifically says in Allegation 20 against Freeze that the booster involved with Leo was "frequently present at football facilities and football related activities surrounding Student 39's recruiting visits. "
