Cliff notes (let me see if I got this):

- there was a conspiracy by LL and Kobe Jones that Mullen somehow called them
Into his office to tell them to throw RR under the bus.
- That a post by Rosebowl on Facebook of the Chicago Skyline was actually catcalling to the NCAA to reopen the investigation against OM
- The NCAA had the audacity to not let OM know they were "reopening an investigation" (that never concluded). that they also had the audacity to not let OM know they were interviewing Jones and Lewis under immunity (and OM lawyers couldn't be present).

Am I... am I getting this right? Is this real?

That seems to be the short version, at least as summarized by this article. I haven't (and likely won't) read the full filing, but I didn't see anything about why venue for a defamation suit is proper in a county where no statements were made.

This appears to be even more blatantly about going after the NCAA, which I don't think is a named defendant, than was quite so explicit in the complaint. Can't see how this would work out well for them in terms of NCAA sanctions.

Here's the explanation:

1. Mullen called Kobe into his office to discuss mole crickets.
2. Rosebowl has just scored three Yahtzees in a row while listening to Chicago 17
3. Ole Miss missed the phone call from the NCAA about the status of the investigation because they never check phones or phone records.

As to your first point, I think they are saying that the NCAA was a co-conspirator.

To your second, I think they are implying that Rosebowl knew the contents of the phone hack - Draft night is uninteresting otherwise

As for your third, I hove no idea what the NCAA obligations are under their own bylaws.

What? You don't think it's a good idea for this asshat to accuse the NCAA of being involved in a conspiracy ... only a few weeks before the COI does its thing?

So let's get this straight... Leo Lewis, Kobe Jones, Dan Mullen, Pat Forde, an NCAA investigator, and Lindsey Miller off all people have conspired together to bring down Ole Miss and the esteemed retailer Rebel 17ing Rags. And with absolutely zero evidence to support these claims other than misinterpreted social posts and BS message board innuendo pushed by people who have been wrong since day one.

Bold strategy. I find it ironic that Lewis and Jones are lying in a situation where lying means they lose everything- but a random UM player should be taken blindly at his word? Yes, because the UM football program and the people associated with it have proven themselves nothing if not honest over the past two years.**

I also find it ironic that they are so furious at the NCAA for leaking that the NOA was delivered- but have ZERO issue leaking the names of the student athletes... As if there was a difference. Actually there was a difference- the student athletes are supposed to be protected by federal law.

The hypocrisy and double standard is disgusting.

His entire argument is that this conspiracy was out to get Ole Miss. who gave this *** hat the authority to sue on behalf of a State Institution, against the NCAA no less? The guy is playing with fire, someone in the administration needs to have a sit down with him. Membership in the NCAA is not some guaranteed never get taken away right.

It all sounds plausible to me. Did you know that Leo Lewis also shot JFK, faked the moon landing, and controls the Illuminati?

Let's assume that the investigation was over before draft night. (It wasn't, but play along.)
Let's assume that what they are saying is true about the NCAA having to notify them if they are under investigation. (I don't know if there is a bylaw, but I'll pretend there is for arguments sake.)

Why would the NCAA "break" their own bylaws? They wouldn't. They would approve a temporary suspension of that bylaw (through a committee or something, I suppose) because this was a special case where they needed to act without UNM's knowledge for as long as possible. Why? Well, the last time UNM was under investigation and received a NOA, UNM called reporters to give them "an anonymous source" full of lies. So why should they let RR know to get their affairs in order and wash anything that could be corroborated by any past recruits. (Change tags, store layout, etc)

Keep grasping at straws Bears. You should hire a real lawyer instead of an ambulance chaser to represent you......I mean RR.

It's getting to the point

where I think OM is behind this. They're telling him to sue the NCAA, with the hopes that they can scare the NCAA into not punishing them on the other front. I know that sounds absolutely dumb and ridiculous, but think about it. Everything they've done till now HAS been absolutely dumb and ridiculous.
