No shot of this happening, right?

I say they would be getting off cheap! Wonder if their admission/apology opens them up to NCAA sanctions for misleading recruits. I believe there is an NCAA rule that states you must provide truthful information to recruits so they can make the best decision for themselves..... or something like that!

Based on what Bjork is saying on his 'goodwill tour,' it's NOT happening. OM would have to admit that named individuals (Bucky, Bjork & Campbell) out & out lied to keep the '16 class from bolting.

It's just not in their DNA to capitulate like that .. especially before the COI meets where their entire case is based on "Freeze's integrity."

It's almost as if Mars sits around and says "what can I do today to make them look worse than yesterday".... and he succeeds at answering his question every day.

If I'm MSU, I would agree to match that grant.

Why does Ole Miss hate Integrity? **

Keep in mind, a public apology to Nutt means OM violated its confidentiality agreement with the NCAA and 2016 NOA.

I wonder how that would affect the Rebel Rags case.

When Ole Miss does something wrong, they own it. **

It looks like UM is trapped.

Take Nutt's offer and confess they misled recruits ... or go to court, where they'll try to wiggle out of the trap, end up spending/paying more $$$, getting more punishment from the NCAA, etc.

The fact that Bjork didn't (proactively, on his own) peruse Freeze's phone call logs, is mind-boggling... especially when Bjork knew the extent of violations that occurred during the Freeze era.

Speaking of Rebel Rags, one of my family members, an ole miss grad, told me the following; 'He didn't think Rebel Rags gave any free clothing to Leo Lewis or anyone else for that matter. The guy who owns Rebel Rags is too cheap to just give stuff away.' He also said regarding ole miss, "We need to learn to cheat better."

The owner of RR can be cheap and not wish to give anything away. The NCAA alleges that the recruits received gear for free, not that RR gave it away-- more than likely somebody did pay for it.

I cannot imagine the mississippi bears allowing this to see this seeing the light of day in a courtroom. Regarding the misleading of recruits, that is no longer debatable so not sure what is left to salvage there. Misleading recruits seems to be SOP for recruiting so I can't see the NCAA adding anything for this. They have enough rope to hang everybody in lafayette county already.

bad look for settlements

CJ Johnson would disagree if he were honest about it.

Mars is inviting OM to eat a turd samich...and like it. He's playing chess and they're playing checkers. Nutt being the sleaze ball he is makes this all the more bitter pill to swallow for the bears.

I was thinking the same thing as soon as I read the details. Do that and suddenly the apology becomes only sticking point.

 

[thekimmer]

Brilliant move by Nutt. If he had simply asked for 5 million UM could have paid him and then painted nutt as a slimy opportunist just looking for an easy buck. Now he has taken the moral high ground and put the ball squarely back in the bear's court. So now they have two choices. They can eat a wagon load of humble pie, fess up and apologize or they could still possibly pay him off but the offer to do so now has to originate from the confederates which will strongly diminish the effectiveness of any nutt bashing (other than the nut bashing the old massas are getting).

 

[VillagepeopleDogs]

Really bad look for turd sammiches.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

He's playing chess and they are licking windows on the bus

 

[EAVdog]

He gave them an out, they really can't take. But it'll make it look like he's an upstanding guy when Mars goes in balls deep later.
