NCAA Immunity

Where are the OM fans getting that this was the first time that immunity has been used by the NCAA and is setting some sort of precedent? They used it in the Louisville basketball probe and according to this article, it has been used for a long time.

This is just one example by a long time poster on one of their boards: "Will the COI accept testimony gained for the first time in NCAA history as a result of offering immunity?"

Pretty sure immunity is what cost Bruce Pearl his job too.

Two things the rebs need to know about immunity.
1. It is legal.
2. If the NCAA resorts to using immunity agaist your school, you are already cooked. This is just the final nail in the coffin.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure OM players Chris Spencer and Doug Buckles were given immunity too when they told on us in Jackie's last probation.

Will the COI accept immunity interviews? Lol, considering the head of the COI has to approve immunity interviews on a case by case basis before they are even allowed to happen, I would have to say yeah- they will be accepted. They have already been approved.

Immunity interviews have been used dozens of times over the past couple of decades- in fact they were used against us in the JWS case. This isn't new or precedent setting. This isn't just now opening Pandora's box- that box has been open for a long time.

And oh yeah, Leo did not approach the NCAA. The NCAA approached Leo and said "we know the truth, you just confirm what happened and we won't rule you ineligible... but if you lie to us, your college football days are over." Who in the hell would not tell the truth given those circumstances?

How many "immunity interviews" did the COI authorize the investigative people to conduct in the OM case ? Is there any way to know that number and who the players were ?

 

[thatsbaseball]

Also when you say they told Leo "we know the truth" is the "truth" here the fact that Leo was paid cash to make his official visit ?

of those not from MSU - They 100% interviewed Austin Golson. That's from someone in the Auburn football department. Also pretty sure they interviewed Cece Jefferson and probably Bo Scarborough.
