This fcking thing looks worse than I thought. I am expecting them to get hammered. If those arrogant bastards offered up 12 it has to be more like 20-25. No way they would ever offer more than the NCAA was going to hand out. Maybe I'm delusional. Maybe NAFOOM is. One of us is for sure.

I don't see how that can see good news in any of this. Especially considering how horribly mislead they've been by Bjork and company.

Friend of the family w/connections in Oxford swears the NCAA held their hand while formulating their response and worked with them in coming up with the penalties. Says they never would've been put in writing unless pre-approved by Indianapolis.

He really believes what he's being told.

Sadly this is the NCAA we are talking about. They are the most inconsistent organization I've ever seen. It really could have gone down exactly as your friend says and I wouldn't be surprised. They could get hammered much more than their suggested penalties and I again wouldn't be surprised.

That's the biggest crime in all this. The fact they continue to sell out for recruiting and were then straight up lied to by bjork and freeze. All of it done in the name of recruiting.

Our friends must be related. I cant even begin to type what all has been told to me. Apparently they are expecting the viloations to be reduced.

There should, for a FACT, be some forfeitures involved. If Tunsil took an $800 handshake, every game he played in after that Ole Miss will have to forfeit.
The NCAA doesn't really care if you pay recruits, but they care very much if you pay players.

If all this happened with just one player, think of all the other **** they have done.

We do look at this through Maroon tinted glasses...but Ole Miss looks at this like Ray Charles through no glasses. I bet a few Ole Miss folks still think that Most of the Violations occurred under Houston Nutt because Red Cup Rebellion said so.

This.

NCAA is like a black box. Look at the disparity between USC and Miami (most recent Miami sanctions).

At a minimum, there is the risk that UM gets hit hard. Ignoring that risk, to me, is head-in-the-sand material.

The disparity was over a botched investigation that embarassed the ncaa. Usc disnt have that. Om doesnt have that. I dont understand anyone whi uses miami as an example of how the ncaa deals with schools. It isnt even remotely relevant except for hiow the ncaa might want to redeem itself.

If the NCAA doesn't drop the hammer on the Bears. They are pretty much saying, "If your not cheating your cheating yourself."

Recent & sudden success is all so obvious now. Ramp up your donations to Athletics if NCAA lets them slide.

I'm more nervous nothing is going to happen myself other than what we have seen. Makes me sick but not shocked.

The Miami investigation didn't just embarrass the NCAA. The NCAA was caught red-handed breaking laws to get information in that case. Also, Miami self-imposed 2 years of bowl bans and a ban from the ACC championship game that they had qualified for. I know several Rebels who would be distraught if they got a 2-year bowl ban (if they do, I'm probably going to tell one of them that he owes me twice our bet since it's a 2-year ban)
