The Boneyard on Friday spent a lot of time talking about the Ethics Commission and Steve Robertson's request for information, specifically the names of the Ole Miss Boosters that were named in the Notice and Allegations. Robertson claims we have a right to know who these people are. Several reasons, among them being that when State had a booster disassociated, his name was known and not hidden from view. I agree.

He points out that we, the MSU fan base, may be paying these people money through their businesses and then they turn around and use that money to buy players that will help Ole Miss against State. He expounded by saying that these people may be long-time supporters of Ole Miss and then gave a seeming random example that they may have an endowment in the School of Business there.

Got to thinking that he might not have been so random in his remark but rather purposeful.

Since he went on and on about this, I wonder if he is preparing us to learn that someone a lot of us do business with who also has an endowment in the School of Business might be one of the parties named.

Any guesses as to who that might be? Could we see a spire of names that surprise us?

I think it is going to be the number of boosters involved that might be

surprising and yes there will be some well known folks involved, it is going to be entertaining.

Tacos/Blindsided -agreed. Some might suggest that is old news.

I think this is going pretty deep into their established support and - possibly - the reason they have been playing games with the names is because a well-respected business may be involved. Nothing to base that on other than Steve's example. He knows who they are, I'm pretty sure.

I'll be surprised if his name is in there. I don't believe the 'rumor' we were all hearing made the NOAs.

I could be overthinking this, but I think we are going to be surprised who is named.

They are really trying to protect some one who has been a big part of them in the past, whether it be athletics or academics.

I would almost put Butler Snow in the old news category, too, what with S. A.'s name getting tossed about as the 'set up guy'.
