Must be nothing positive for it to drop so quickly after their "big win" over Mars and Nutt.

So, umm, based on the first paragraph of the letter from the committee ole miss is already in trouble.

A panel of the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions (COI) has scheduled an appearance by the University of Mississippi to begin at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time on Monday, September 11, 2017. This meeting will take place in the John A. Roebling Ballroom at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Cincinnati RiverCenter hotel located at 10 E. River Center Blvd, Covington, Kentucky 41011. The panel has set aside two– three full days for this hearing. NCAA infractions hearings are closed to the public, and the information discussed during these hearings is considered confidential, as is the date, time and location of the hearing.

I don't think it is confidential anymore

Yeah, it's called confidential multiple times in the document. I bet the NCAA is going to frown their asses off at leaking the names of the panel actually hearing the case. Opened those folks up to all sorts of backlash.

Not a good look for "Exemplary Cooperation".

View attachment 7442

Page 114 of the Enforcement Staff's Reply:
Further, while the institution met its obligation to cooperate under Bylaw 19.2.3 and provided valuable assistance in the investigation, it did not meet the high standard for exemplary cooperation.

Preparing a witness vs. Coaching a witness...

I made a comment back when Neal McCready accused Leo Lewis of being "coached". Lewis was PREPARED for his testimony, and hopefully that preparation included telling him to be truthful. COACHING a witness is when you interrupt the questioning to tell the witness what to say. Read pages 81-82 of the Enforcement staff reply brief. Redacted Booster #12, the secretary of redacted booster #14, was clearly coached during her NCAA interview....

Spending a little time skimming over this...

Kiffin is a dead man walking.
Farrar will never be associated with any sports program again.

Some other choice parts

Vaughn doesn't listen well...

In response, the enforcement staff immediately called Gray, who in turn called Vaughn and admonished

him for the third time in less than four hours to refrain from contacting others about this matter. This call

from Gray to Vaughn occurred at 3:40 p.m. and lasted 13 minutes. During the call, Gray provided Vaughn

the contact information for Melanie Murry (Murry), University of Memphis general counsel. 105

On August 15 at 12:35 p.m., Murry and Vaughn spoke for 21 minutes during which Murry again

admonished Vaughn about his obligation to protect the integrity of the investigation and to not speak with

others about the matter. They also spoke on the phone at other times and exchanged multiple text messages

that day. 106



Reb Rags...this is a bad look!

There were stores on campus, including along the guided tour route, where the family could have


purchased merchandise. The enforcement staff asserts that Kiffin sending the family off-campus to Rebel

Rags was done purposefully because of the store's willingness to provide free merchandise.

Harris...
While the enforcement staff did not allege M. Harris knowingly committed violations, he should

have known his actions were problematic. The enforcement staff also notes M. Harris was trained to consult

the compliance office on these matters and his failure to do so should be considered when determining his

culpability for Hughes' activities.





I ain't even gonna try to grab all the Freeze sound bites in here.

NCAA head coach responsibility legislation presumes a head coach is responsible for the actions of all

institutional staff members who report, directly or indirectly, to the coach. Notably, this case includes

multiple staff members who reported directly or indirectly to Freeze that appeared comfortable committing

NCAA violations. Freeze could rebut the presumption by demonstrating that he both promoted an

atmosphere of compliance and monitored his staff. He failed to do both. The atmosphere was anything but

compliant and Freeze’s monitoring efforts, as noted above, were many times deficient.

No, that's what Ole Miss people told us. We'll put it on the list.

Is there some simple explanation for why they released a document that says on its face it should be kept confidential? Is the Opportunity Fund involved?

That's all I can figure. Put a public face on the "opponent". I bet several of these people aren't going to appreciate either of the "positive" or negative harassment that results from this. I do think it was done on purpose though.

It's statements like these that I find interesting:

The football program submitted recruiting documentation to compliance showing ______ and his family paid for their meals; however, as has been acknowledged, that did not occur. This is one of multiple instances in this allegation in which the football program submitted false recruiting documentation to the compliance office or failed to submit recruiting documentation altogether.

So the entire football program exhibited multiple failures to report or intentional falsification of recruiting documents to the compliance office????

That should really bolster that "pillar of compliance" argument, huh?

Yep, which is also almost certainly going to lead to every win that any of those players played in being vacated, a la Derrick Rose at Memphis.

What I said going to be hilarious, is when the Bears get slapped down by the NCAA on 9/11 - Mars files the Nutt lawsuit in Lafayette Co. followed by Lewis filing a counter suit the same day against Rebel Rags.

Yes, and these are the same guys who redacted Freeze's "personal calls" before submitting his phone records to compliance.
