It's seems to be getting real...

NCAA obviously doesn't mind taking its time. Reggie Bush played in 2004/05, and NCAA penalties weren't until 2011.

Infractions at U of Miami happened from 2002-2010, with penalties announced in 2013.

Three years is no big deal for those guys.

 

[Strike.sixpack]

Well the USC investigation was actually 4 years and Miami maybe 3. But yeah they will take their time.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Yep, my point is that it would be foolish to think that just because an investigation has lasted three years doesn't mean they haven't found anything. NCAA doesn't mind going back several years, several coaching staffs, changes in university administration, etc. They do not care.

Even if Houston Nutt and Pete Boone got all this stuff started before the new kids hit the scene, the NCAA will have no issue with dropping the hammer on the current staff. They do not care.

You guys getting excited about this need to remember Cam. This is going to result in a suspension for tunsil and that's about it.

What has happened thus far with Tunsil is already far worse than anything that happened with Cam. As MSU fans we really wanted Auburn to get nailed for Cam and really want Ole Miss to get nailed for Tunsil and other transgressions. The similarities in the two cases pretty much end there.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

The sad thing is usually by the time the NCAA actually does impose punishment, the people who committed the violations are either gone / graduated.

In my opinion you're missing the 2 biggest similarities, which is its the NCAA and a SEC program. It seems the NCAA has no interest in nailing an SEC team. I'd love to be wrong, but I don't see this going further than tunsil. Even then, I don't think he will be suspended for the year.

It'll be interesting if a rookie commisioner has the same stroke as slive.

 

[HD6]

I still hold out nothing major will happen, although Tunsil not playing tomorrow would be something I didn't anticipate. However, it is interesting to me that unless I missed it, not a single Rebel in this thread trying to talk us down.

 

[hatfieldms]

That is the most telling thing to me

Usually they are over here saving the day on an hourly basis

 

[thatsbaseball]

Ole Miss has stepped on a bunch of the big boy`s toes. That`s a lot different than just pissing off little ole MSU.

 

[natchezdawg]

They're too busy seeing what EliteDawgs has to say...

Rent Free!

 

[Bulldogg31]

The crazy thing is they've been blasting @cannonmotors on Twitter for "snitching" to the NCAA. They're telling all Rebel fans to boycott Cannon Motors...crazy.

Turns out it's all Michael Cannon's fault. That explains it.

 

[HD6]

I had to go check that out, and it is pretty funny.

Yeah, OM people should piss him off. Im sure this is the only time he's helped a player. Surely they couldn't piss him off and him tell even more**

 

[Bulldogg31]

Yep, it was a one-time thing and obviously the car dealer should have known better...shame on him.**

 

[MaroonNation]

I consider one of our PharmD's at work as the atypical OM fan. All around good guy, season ticket holder and a pillar of the OM community in central Mississippi. He has turned on Tunsil. He said most have. He realizes if OM gets out of this with nothing but a slap on the wrist then they are damn lucky. He's worried.

 

[fishwater99]

Yeah. They are blaming him and Tunsil. Not very smart.

 

[patdog]

Do they seriously think the guy who gave the car to the player went to the NCAA and turned himself in? I have little doubt that if Michael Cannon wanted to, he could take their program down for a long time.

 

[dogfan96]

There was a house involved. I believe Reggie's step dad had a friend who was an exconvict and trying to keep his agent business going made the deal while in school. House and money. They implicated the coach McNair as well in that he allegedly had knowledge of the situation. He is suing or trying to sue the NCAA however to clear his name that he didn't have knowledge.

The other big issue and why they got hit so hard was because they had two other sports programs found with violations including OJ Mayo pay for play deal during this investigation for Bush. Sounds kind of familiar doesn't it. The NCAA is not just investigating the football program but the entire Ole Miss athletic department and have already found violations with an other program. So I don't buy the talking point that in 3 years all the NCAA has is the Tunsil loaner car. That's why USC got hit hard was the NCAA stacked all of their findings of the entire atheletic department not just the football program.

McNair is actually on the verge of winning his case against the NCAA. The head of the NCAA committee (Miami AD at the time) basically had a hard-on for USC and he wanted to nail them (all while Shapiro was making it rain right under his nose at the U).

Going on three years. Ole Miss is going to feel some pain.
