NOA Dates - Somebody Help Me Out Here

[121Josey]

I'm confused about this 30-day extension that a third-party received.

What date was the NFL Draft/T$UNapolooza?

What date did the Bears actually submit their response to the NOA?

The "Letter to the Ole Miss Family" says that UMiss filed its response "in April". The notice was dated January 22, so the response was due either on April 21 or 22, depending on when the 90 days started. NFL draft night was April 28.

So, you're telling me that the Bears claimed a 3rd-party extension and that it applies to all parties involved, but instead of using that extension, they submitted the response at the end of the original deadline, only to have the most condemning evidence come to light just six days later? Call me "Shocked".

I don't know if somebody is 17n around with them, but that's some bad karma. They had to have been thinking that they were home free. But now "more details need to be worked out".

I don't know that the 30-day extension applied to all parties. Bjork said back in April that a third party had requested the extension, and that UMiss would release its response once that 30 day extension had expired. We all assumed that meant UMiss would not respond until May 22, but now it looks like they were just refusing to release their response to the public until the 30 days was up.

I buy the possibility of them waiting to release, although there are many reasons that the delay would benefit them and all this is public perception. However, I present to you the words of David Brandt:

Ole Miss received the NCAA's Notice of Allegations in late January, but has not made the document public. NCAA rules normally give the school 90 days to respond, which would put the deadline in late April, but an extension can be granted if anyone involved in the investigation asks for one.

They waited as long as they could, hoping it would just slip by on Labor Day weekend Friday..

They could have released the NOA at any time. I can understand not wanting to release their response until all parties had responded, but they could have released the NOA.
