NOTE .. There are NO ** associated with this post

DJ on OM 424/7 site has a 'Real-Time' COI update thread .. complete with play-by-play potty-break info ..

Already, less than two hours into the hearing, we know Ole Miss interim head coach Matt Luke, disgraced former head coach Hugh Freeze, current athletic director Ross Bjork, NCAA enforecement chairperson John Duncan and Committee on Infractions chair Greg Christopher all took leaks at the same time at approximately 9:35 a.m. CT. At least we know they went into the same bathroom.
So far, bathroom breaks have come once an hour. Pat Forde of Yahoo.com, who is on the scene, gets the credit for that excellent reporting. It was apparently a 15-minute break.
Antonio Morales of The Clarion ledger sets the scene with the video below:

Hugh Freeze is there. So, too, is Ross Bjork and Ole Miss assistants Maurice Harris and Derrick Nix. Former Ole Miss assustants Chris Kiffin and Barney Farrar are present. There has been no sighting of Mississippi Stte linebacker Leo Lewis.

Far be it from me to question their wisdom, but shouldn't Yancy be covering bathroom breaks?

I'm under the assumption that Yancy is IN the bathroom.

Forde also seems convinced that the NCAA will not release sanctions until the last week of November at the earliest. I don't recall how this squares with what was speculated earlier timeline wise.

 

[jakldawg]

So OF COURSE they all left the conference room for a pre-lunch bathroom break 30 seconds after I leave...
perhaps I've said too much.

 

[gymdawg.sixpack]

You mean "yancy IS the bathroom" right

So what really happens today? They get found guilty/not guilty of things? Then sentencing comes later?

I don't think anything happens today but the members of the COI get the presentation from enforcement and Ole Miss, and I guess ask questions if they want to.

Over the next few months, they will make determinations on each infraction and decide on penalties. Or I'm guessing more realistically, they will give a lawyer assigned to them some general direction and he/she will give them a draft report in a month, and they will then spend a few weeks passing drafts back and forth to get language everybody agrees on, before releasing it in late November

Can you imagine if this is your job assignment?

1. Go out of state for three days.
2. Sit in hotel watching a closed door where a meeting is taking place.
3. Report on people coming and going from closed door meeting.
4. Try to talk to people coming and going from meeting even though it has been explicitly stated that the meeting is confidential and they can't talk to you. They especially won't talk to you in public at the hotel where you are sitting.
5. Hang out with YANCY PORTER.

 

[Drewbowski]

Pretty sure nothing happens today. This meeting probably spills in to tomorrow.

 

[patdog]

Just 3 days of hearings this week. Then in 6-8 weeks or so, the COI will issue a written report with the findings and penalties.

 

[AFDawg]

Surely some leaks will be let out in the bathroom.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Is anyone wearing shorts?
What channel can we watch the action?
What color are the reporters wearing?
Does Hugh have a hookah with him?
Has Bjork threatened to whip anybody's *** on the tweeter?
Why aren't the Women's Basketball & Track coaches present?
Is Nutt tea-bagging Freeze?
Please Lord, let us have a another International Incident on this trip for metro Cincy.

 

[MSUDawgFan86]

Yancy is just working the Glory Hole as a cover to gain information in the bathroom. He's really not into that sort of thing sources say.

 

[jakldawg]

And here's inside my mind thirty seconds after walking into the lobby

 

[RocketDawg]

They take a 15 minute break every hour? That's like real court ... start at 10, 3 hour lunch break at 11, then reconvene for an hour or two at 2:00.

So, does Leo have to sit there the whole time and wait/listen instead of preparing for one of the biggest games of the year?
