Is this the bombshell?

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Godfrey says the letter is dated May 17th. Difficult to believe that TSUN just now leaked it to the media. This would not be a positive development.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Yawwwwwn.

 

[patdog]

I'm ok with it. Just tell the truth like he did when the NCAA staff interviewed him.

[1msudawg]

Exactly. I don't see what the big deal is over this. All he has to do is repeat what he said earlier.

The entirety of Ole Miss fandom has convinced themselves that Leo was pushed towards the NCAA by Dan and told to flat out lie.

They firmly believe that it was pure jealousy of Freeze and a sinister desire to cut the legs from the Ole Miss machine that triggered this scheme.

So ... Conspiracy! Pure delusion.

 

[tatedog]

This is a good point. Wouldn't it be funny if the COI tells Leo "well we were planning on thoroughly cross examining you and clarifying some items in your testimony, but in light of your pending lawsuit, we're good."

Can someone remind me when Mullen was asked about Lewis's eligibility for next year and said he was expecting Lewis to play all season? I think it was well after May 17, but don't feel like looking for it.

The fact is, with the immunity deals, the NCAA comes to you. You don't go to them. And it's only to corroborate evidence they've already gotten from some other source. The staff goes to the COI with the evidence they've gotten and ask for permission to interview a player at another school & grant him immunity. As for Dan telling him to lie, if Dan did that he's almost as big of an idiot as Freeze is. They were already getting hammered even without Leo's testimony.

"Anytime the NCAA conducts any investigation into an athletic program, when a student athlete is requested to participate in investigation, per NCAA rules and regulations and per confidentiality agreements executed by the student athlete, that participation is confidential. I’m not in a position to comment one way or the other on any past, or future participation by Mr. Lewis in any NCAA investigation because it is confidential.”

Notice the same word being used. I wonder if Mr Wheeler is doing a little foreshadowing.

 

[tatedog]

Is this the bombshell?

Maybe, who knows. I have a hard time believing they are sitting on any kind of bomb shell with the shellacking they've been taking in the national media. They badly need something to deflect attention. The fact that Godfrey fired two shots in one day (blanks--and one coming really late in the day, which seems very peculiar) says that more bad news is about to drop in Oxford. And soon.

 

[ckDOG]

Interesting.

Despite summary info published by the NCAA indicating that the COI does not call witnesses (http://www.ncaa.org/enforcement/enforcement-process-hearings) the bylaw referenced is pretty clear that it can (https://web3.ncaa.org/lsdbi/search/bylawView?id=32006).

At any rate, I wouldn't expect this to turn into anything more than the COI asking Lewis to confirm what he said was or wasn't true. Doubtful that he will be asked questions outside of the scope of investigation (what OM did - this is why immunity was granted) and if the scope is expanded by any party, I'm certain that Lewis counsel will object to him answering that as it is not relevant to any allegations against OM. Lewis isn't on trial - OM is. Remember that,

 

[Cousin Jeffrey]

The entirety of Ole Miss fandom has convinced themselves that Leo was pushed towards the NCAA by Dan and told to flat out lie.

They've also convinced themselves that the entirety of the case against them relies on Leo Lewis' testimony.

Godfrey's opening sentence:
"The fate of the University of Mississippi’s football program could hinge on live comments from current Mississippi State linebacker Leo Lewis to the NCAA when the Committee on Infractions hears the case against Ole Miss this September."

You've still got several other Level 1 violations, you douche.

 

[Snog]

They're doing it on purpose. Drowning man grabbing for someone to go down with him.

I'm 17n tired of this recent narrative that the whole OM mess is a rivalry thing

Hey media, you've been duped before. Pay attention!

One of our new "friends" in the national media needs squash this recent narrative about how the "whole" OM mess is just the bitter old rivalry between State and OM. To believe some of what I've heard and read this week, our rivalry tops every other in the nation in craziness and intensity. They love the Rosebowl quote about fighting for hind tit. This week MSU has been mentioned way more than necessary in discussions about how a preachy SEC rival coach got caught buying hookers.

Remember this, OM has been cheating over MSU forever. Nobody gave a **** until OM started cheating Georgia, Florida, Nebraska, etc.

OM should be called out for dragging us into a mess of their own doing.

Also to the real media, let's tap the brakes on letting OM say we fired Barney and we fired Hugh so everything's cool everybody move along. I'm tired of hearing media guys giving Bjork major respect just because he says the right things during his hostage videos. The dude is complicit as complicit gets. Free press, you know it goes deeper than what you're willing to admit.

 

[drt7891]

This is exactly what is happening. They are setting this thing up to spin as the "big bad NCAA coming to town," not finding much, but "big bad Leo Lewis lied to them and RR," which got Freeze fired.

Steve said in a podcast that the Freeze situation forcing their hand is literally the first time anyone has taken responsitbility for any of this in Oxford... and that wasn't even over the NCAA!!!! They wanna be able to push this through to be able to spin al this as LL and MSU's fault... even though we had very little to do with any of it. This was their own damn fault.

I was listening to Godfrey and Bud Elliot talk about Leo Lewis in a podcast. All of a sudden, Bud relays a conversation he had with a coach from another school that backed out of his recruitment because they were concerned he was an NCAA plant as he was asking way too much as a player of his caliber. Godfrey was taken aback by that, but didn't really engage the comment.

 

[gptdawg]

Maybe they want OM to publically apologize for leaking his name.
