And I'm fully prepared to be called a racist because of it....

But there's a gigantic anomaly in the booster names... Arya Keyes. Every other booster listed in the release is a known successful businessman who was made wealthy through their various business interests. What industry or profession did Arya Keyes participate in that gave him the freedom to be in the illustrious group of people?

Maybe he just gave a free ride or a few hundred bucks, but the lack of detail around Mr. Keyes speaks volumes to me. He was intermediary between players and a big, big fish.

That's almost certainly the case. There's one more that doesn't seem to fit the bill of "big booster" ... the woman who allegedly is a teacher.

Pretty clearly, Arya Keyes is the fall guy.

He's the guy Ole Miss can ban from home games without causing a rift in UM Foundation members or their donoratti. They can offer up Keyes as an example of their extreme commitment to compliance ("to our knowledge, unprecedented move") and simply 'disassociate' Hughes and Cannon Motors (and completely turn a blind eye to Dunlap.)


Which... isn't it a little funny that their 'Extreme compliance' methods means a person gets the exact same punishment as Houston Smith got for saying '17ing embarrassment' to a terrible basketball referee?
