OM doing a press conference today?

[57stratdawg]

Seems to be the rumor.

 

[msstate7]

To say what? Firing freeze would be the smart play

 

[benatmsu]

Somebody get the "Hey Hugh" gif machine fired up...

Seems to be the rumor.

Press conference to announce Ole Miss is officially a basketball (men's only) and baseball school now--until such time as their rampant cheating in those is exposed as well.

They just uploaded a press conference to YouTube.

Haven't watched yet

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Hoping their site includes a transcript. I don't see it yet here.

Allegation #8, Hugh freeze is directly charged with a level 1 violation! Boom! I had to pause the video to update this. More to come

 

[jethreauxdawg]

#9, Lack of Institutional Control! Ha ha ha
Bjork starts listing them off at the 2:45 mark. Gets real good around 9:45

Watching now. Typing while listening, so sloppy formatting.

Vitter intro'd, then Bjork explains the current NOA. Outline the new allegations

1) There are 8 new allegations, and one from prior notice has been expanding. None related to NFL draft night.
2) Three allegations they think there is something to.
- Recruit used booster land for hunting (Level 3)
- Lodging & Transportation for recruit who went elsewhere, and for another recruit on one occasion. Total $2270. Also free meals from the football department.
- A staff member violated standards of conduct, knowingly. Level 1
- Evidence to support some but not all: The same member helped booster contact recruits. Paid them. $13K to $15K. Level 1.
4) OM will contest in full the following:
- Staff member arranged for impermissable merchangdise from a store (presumably the Rags store). Approx $2800, Levl 1
- In 2014, impermissible off campus contact. Level 3.
- Drinks at a restaurant. $200-$600. Level 1.
- Head Coach violated responsibility. This is because he is ultimately responsible for other coaches. Level 1.
- LOIC. Level 1.

Also, throwing a former staff member who was fired under the bus. Presumably Barney. Also proposing 1 year bowl ban, and forfeit of $ from the SEC for bowls.

Looks like Freeze isn't getting fired at this point. Nor is Bjork.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

I think it was allegation #2 where a still employees coach is charged with a level 1 violation the University agrees happened.

Bjork takes responsibility for the whole thing, but what does that mean? Does he repay the 7.8 million they have already agreed to forfeit? Does resign? Does he give up the belt?

 

[DancingRabbit]

IT came.

So, they're going to stick with the line that the investigation was done, then re-opened because of draft night, but none of the new allegations deal with draft night? Are we going to go into the dark night being told to believe none of the Tunsil draft night stuff was real?

 

[jethreauxdawg]

That's covered in the next letter. NCAA can only handle so much at one time.

I'm not sure Bjork and crew can stop lying so I'm not sure that part is true.

 

[DerHntr]

Freeze: "I have a strong record in promoting compliance and monitoring my staff."

I guess that means he is one of the most incompetent bafoons on the planet.

How in the holy hell have they not fired him and Bjork and the head of compliance?

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

I could only think of one thing as this unfolded

The Otter Defense

[Palmettodog]

Did ISIS produce this video?

 

[BELdog]

Worse acting here or in the Denzel/Zenny Phantom music video?

You pretty much summed it up. Kinda unbelievable, huh?
