Mars really, really doesn't think much of the rebels. Money quote:

"The fact that [Ole Miss] took the low road was no surprise to me," Mars said Monday night. "But having read what their lawyers said in their response, I was surprised that Ole Miss would risk losing what little credibility it has left with the NCAA just to object to Shea playing for Michigan this fall."

Ole Miss did not intentionally deny the waiver request. It happened incidentally during the course of play.

It's Ole Miss. It's TOTALLY believable!

Mars, appeal to NCAA said .. ""Coach Freeze delivered the misleading 'false narrative' to [the journalist], waited until [his] story went online, and then drafted a DM [direct message] to one of his assistants (commenting 'Good PR response' on the false information that he himself had given to the [journalist]), and directed the assistant to send the link to [his] story to all the recruits," the NCAA Appeal says.

He still has a redshirt year to burn, but that is BS. We know this, but the world should know not to trust a word that comes out of a rebearshark's mouth. Hugh Freeze and co. are lying POSs.

Of course they denied his request. If they didn’t deny it, they would be admitting they stretched the truth to keep their class together.

Sadly, he will probably lose his appeal. The NCAA has already shown that they don’t want to give a real punishment to OM.

A few months ago when anyone brought up transfer waivers, Ole Miss fans/media were quick to remind everybody that Ole Miss has nothing to do with the waiver requests and that it's strictly an NCAA issue. Now, they are formally objecting to waivers.

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]"Certain statements made by University employees in January 2016 appear to have contributed to misleading media reports about Coach Nutt," Ole Miss officials said in another statement. "To the extent any such statements harmed Coach Nutt's reputation, the University apologizes, as this was not the intent. The NCAA's Notice of Allegations dated January 22, 2016, did not name or implicate Coach Nutt in any misconduct, and it would have been inappropriate for any University employee to suggest otherwise."[/FONT]

For OM to sign off on this,

they admit that the coaches lied. Therefore, they cannot do so.(or will not)

Might tarnish their reputation.

Otherwise, I suspect they would just let it go.

Not sure why anyone is surprised by this. Now that the penalties have been announced, there's no need for them to play nice like they did with the first couple of players who transferred. They're certainly not worried about losing any credibility with the NCAA.

This is one more talking point

in the arsenal of rival coaches who are recruiting Rebel targets this year. You've gotta think this is going cost a couple of signees probably this year and the next.

the NCAA's unwillingness to levy serious penalties against serious violators is undermining their own foundation. they are rendering themselves powerless.

They have ALREADY admitted that they 'LIED' when the told 'cruits that ALL the football allegations were on Nutt.

"To the extent any such statements harmed Coach Nutt's reputation, the University apologizes, as this was not the intent. The NCAA's Notice of Allegations dated January 22, 2016, did not name or implicate Coach Nutt in any misconduct, and it would have been inappropriate for any University employee to suggest otherwise."

MARS...

“If I didn’t know better, I would have thought Ole Miss hired Pinocchio to write its response to Michigan’s waiver request,” Mars said Monday night.

“After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year,” he said, “I’ve learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that ‘We’re Ole Miss By Damn.’”

Hahaha Mars is so awesome.

He repeatedly calls OM a clown show and they keep giving him material. I would love to have a drink with him and let him make me laugh at Ole Miss’s dumbasses.

Not disputing it would be admitting they lied. They should absolutely dispute it to be consistent.

Could not disagree more. Smart move was to ignore. Cat was already out-of-the-bag. They screwed with Mars before and got their *** kicked and their HC offered as a sacrificial lamb.

Now they have Mars on their case again. Their egos are writing checks their "body" can't cash.

OM has always been a place where perception over reality reigns supreme. And their egos are so huge, the perception they demand causes them to defy all logic...all reason because the perception they insist upon is so very far from reality.

Their fans are so brain-washed they don't seem able to grasp how utterly out-of-touch-with-reality they are. Thus, their administration has to continue to feed the fantasy to keep their fans happy, which perpetuates the self-delusion.

But they could have just let this one go, as it would not have been any admission they have not already made. I suspect they have once again misjudged how willing and how much Mars is able to spank that ***. Perhaps they were emboldened by the wrist-slap they got from the NCAA, thinking it would muzzle Mars.

Wrong.

They've been all in since day 1. They are simply sticking to their playbook.
