What is the timeline? When will anything else come out? Just curious and anxiously waiting.
What is the process?

90 days from when om received it or when an foia request is approved... Probably the former

I keep thinking we'll get a countdown clock going

on the 90 day countdown.

Isn't there a question of when the letter was actually received? It was never acknowledged by ole miss or the NCAA until the story was leaked is my understanding, so when did the clock actually start?

I agree with probably the former. The MS Public Records Act requires that a state agency, institution, etc. provide requested information within 7 business days from the date of receipt of the written request. There are some restrictions such as privacy (trade secrets, etc.) but I don't think the NOA would come under the privacy restrictions. Probably some legal snafu or something that might hold it up, but I don't know what it would be. Really don't know who, if anybody has made a public request.

Well, rumor is the NCAA has recently talked to

Chris Jones again so to me the first letter
is not the end. I think at minimum they get
what we got but would expect more.

I know someone who was at the library the night Jones was. He has been interviewed by the NCAA no less than ten times. Believe it or not, don't give a ****. It will come out in the end.

You left out the drum (can't remember what it's called). That story has to be fabricated ... there's no way that Freeze actually did that. If he did he should be institutionalized.

On Scout Steve Robertson has posted that he has gotten an attorney to file a FOI request. Worth going on there and reading his post it is fascinating. b

But I thought we wanted to be just like them in recruiting?***

Fascinating to say the least.

I wish he could get Blevins to spill the beans about what exactly happened to have his "pursue his opportunities outside of journalism"

Yep. UM isn't going to respond to Steve's request any more than they responded to the CL's request. I suspect Steve will be more diligent in following up on it, though. You're going to have to sue them for it, and they're going to drag it out and it's going to be expensive. The CL does claim they are following up on it, so I guess we'll see.

The Clarion-Ledger is currently working with an attorney in an effort to obtain documents it believes it has a legal right to under freedom of information laws, including the Notice of Allegations and communication between the school and the NCAA and SEC involving possible or actual football rules violations.

I agree. If the letter was nothing but nutt like om says, that letter would be released

Figured that was coming, although I'm not sure what he could say that wasn't already covered the summer prior to him enrolling.

Has OM addressed the violations related to the track program yet?

I know they came out and fired the wbb coach, blamed all the football issues on Nutt...but what about the track program?

I've seen the rumors about the track team being used to pay the football players, but that sounds pretty outlandish. If Bjork and the rebs haven't addressed it yet might mean there is something to it.

Correct me if I'm wrong....I very well could have missed it, seeing as how no one really cares about track.

By the time they returned they had interviewed others on the same topic. Probably looking to probe into some details that could be confirmed to verify the veracity of the other parties (no pun intended).

You missed Bjork's statement on Track?...

It has come to my attention that there are some rumors surrounding the relationship of violations between our track and football programs. Let me assure everyone that the nature of most of the allegations are extremely minor and rarely, if ever, overlap. In addition, while some of the violations in both programs may or may not be viewed by certain individuals who may or may not work for the NCAA as major in nature, it is not currently the view of the athletics department that any of the violations concurrently or in the past or future revolve around parties that may possibly be employed or unemployed at certain learning institutions, which could include the University of Ole Miss, as well as some other institutions that do not hold the prestige as Ole Miss. We are doing everything in our power to be as transparent as possible in this process, including but not limited to viewing the release of documents pertinent to the investigations as a high priority when possible, in addition to not compromising the reputations of people who may or may not be unfairly incriminated or not incriminated in them. We understand your patience while we also ask for your prayers.

I believe him when he says he will sue. I hope he realizes that is going to be a long, drawn-out, and expensive process.

I would expect that he gets some support from MSU people, or that the lawyer he's using is a MSU person willing to do the work for free-ish.

I suspect probably the latter. But they're going to be able to drag this out for a long time with motions, claims, denials, etc. that are complete ********, but will have to be responded to by his attorney.

This seems too well done to be a fake:

"...University of Ole Miss..." ???

"...as well as some other institutions that do not hold the prestige as Ole Miss." ???

He should have mentioned the prayer candles and djembe in concert with the last sentence.
