Anyone know what the latest is here? I have not heard a word about in in a couple of weeks. What's the latest with Mars/Nutt.

Not much. Waiting on re file in court. Wouldn't matter if it didn't happen. Damage done

Kind of agree but just have not heard much about it lately. Still can't believe it took down Freeze. Can't even imagine what the COI would have looked like with Freeze still at the helm.

Freezes taking down was an excuse. That was planned. Ole Miss hasn't changed in 100 years except that they learned from Bob Tyler.

Then again....

Agree with you. The NCAA definitely wanted freezes head on a platter and nutt gave it to them. No doubt ole miss admin saw a way out and pulled the plug. In essence Nutt did a favor for ole miss in getting rid of Freeze. The NCAA always saw through Freeze and his act.

Can you imagine the circus this would have been had Mars timed the revelation of his findings right before the COI? I'm sure he had his reasons for doing it when he did, but damn.

If that was planned, it was a stupid plan. Instead of firing Freeze for the NCAA violations when the 2nd letter hit (or better yet, be a little proactive and fire him before that letter hit) and claim ignorance of what he had let go on in the program, let's keep him on and base our defense on his integrity and then fire him several months later for calling prostitutes when he was on recruiting trips. That's one of the worst plans I could imagine.

Plus, if they knew he was calling prostitutes, they could have fired him for cause any time they wanted, and didn't have to wait and leak the phone number to Mars.

It appears to me that Mars was using intimidation tactics and didn't have much. He talked a big game and "hired" some big names, but they haven't even filed in state court, after stating it was coming within the week, once federal court dropped it. I hope I'm wrong, but from being so vocal and so loud, constantly, to going dead silent after the federal court decision seems like it's fading/faded away.

He's done a lot of damage to them even if we never hear another word about the lawsuit. One possibility someone mentioned that makes sense to me is maybe they reached a confidential settlement agreement and Nutt has been paid off.

I've seen that prediction as well, and I'm curious... Is a settlement in any way public record? I'm assuming not since federal court dismissed it, and it hasn't been filed in state.
