Anyone else find it ironic

[messageboardsuperhero]

That the CL can't seem to break a story on the investigation to save their lives- but the second a disgruntled UM booster sues two MSU athletes, they have it plastered all over the front page of the website? Not that the lawsuit isn't a reportable or relevant story... But where the 17 have they been for the past five years of this NCAA investigation?

Anyway, I wouldn't expect any different from them. Carry on.

Par for the course. Comical.

Nashville finally got a scoop! **

 

[Philly Dawg]

Didn't OM admit the allegations re: Rebel Rags? Why doesn't he sue them? They are the ones who disassociated him.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Now can OM ask the courts to make the NCAA hold off on their ruling until after the civil case has been heard ?

 

[codeDawg]

I honestly don't think it's news. It's a frivolous lawsuit. It will never make it to court. Even if it did, what damages does he expect to collect? How is being under oath and having others involved under oath going to help his cause?

Also filing a lawsuit means nothing. I can file a lawsuit alleging that his actions financially harmed me because I spend money watching a game he helped cheat in. It would never go to court, but I could sue. You can file a lawsuit for anything. It's not a victory.

It's dumb, a waste of time, and it's not news.

What law firm is representing Foxy?

 

[Drebin]

This. Nothing will come of it. It's for PR. Anyone with a brain is laughing at him for filing such a lawsuit. If someone from Ole Miss doesn't squash it, he will squash it himself when discovery requests start rolling in.

The University is not a party to this frivolous pile of **** lawsuit. The NCAA is not a party. The Court does not have jurisdiction over the NCAA matter and will not enter orders affecting the NCAA matter.

Bendini Lambert & Locke. Joey just got flown in from Chicago. Muscle from Nashville landing at Golden Triangle Regional at 0900 hours. Steve Robertson hiding out at Mud Island today and Leo Lewis has all the tapes boxed up at undisclosed location in the Caribbean

The NCAA, however, could have keen interest in facts that come up in the discovery phase if this were to go forward. And this is why it won't go forward.

Some really big concerns with this if I were an Ole Miss fan:

- This lawsuit names students who were and are supposed to be protected under FERPA laws. Big no-no.
- This lawsuit will lead to discovery - Rags, other boosters, Ole Miss coaches, and other players could be subpoenaed to testify and participate.
- This lawsuit puts Ole Miss in a very difficult decision, not only due to the FERPA laws, but also because if you recall, Ole Miss officials worked with the NCAA on the Rebel Rags sting. Yancy was up in arms over that when it happened.
- This lawsuit calls into question the integrity of the NCAA, even though the NCAA is not a party in it. At this point, mere weeks before a meeting before the COI, the last thing they should be doing is making enemies of the NCAA.

I need to get my popcorn. I thought these folks were starting to wise up and take their medicine. If this goes forward, it would end up being very, very bad for Ole Miss. That's why I don't think it will ever go beyond filing.

Good, Thanks. I was afraid this was some sort of effort to delay the process.

I question if testifying would even matter. They're all in. They've lied till now, so take it to the grave.

I'm not convinced that they are all in.

I think Rebel Rags is seizing on what he sees as an opportunity and giving the fan base some red meat. We all know the guy is an attention *****. We know Yancy and Chuck are tight with him because of the way they reacted to the Rebel Rags sting during the investigation. But I bet you $100 that the Ole Miss administration is cringing over this and wants it to go away. They have to be.

 

[aTotal360]

I can see that. He's probably doing it just to win over some local favor since a lot of them think he helped the NCAA with "the sting".

 

[Dawgbite]

Everybody needs to start calling and asking if they have any "Rosebowl Was Right" T shirts in stock.

Can't wait to get hear form Yancy, Chuck .. Lindsey Miller, Bucky, Barney, Kiffen ...

Would love to have the ticket concession for that event. Talk about drama. Question to Rebel Rags .. "have you EVER given or caused to be given ANY apparel to ANY prospective student?"

 

[engie]

Nevermind the hundreds or thousands of other former prospects that could be used to form a pattern to corroborate the information given by Leo and Kobe...
