"Miller met with an NCAA investigator in July and told him about other possible improprieties he had witnessed dating back to Tunsil’s high school recruitment, when Tunsil turned down Nick Saban at Alabama and Mark Richt at Georgia to sign with Hugh Freeze at Mississippi. Miller said Polingo used to receive Western Union deliveries of money from Barney Farrar, Ole Miss assistant athletic director for high school and junior college relations.”

Good find but you missed a part. But to be fair, this would not be relevant to a deposition.**

“These so-called agents were talking to him about strip clubs, prostitutes, making derogatory references to women, and they bought him jeans, took him to concerts,” said the stepfather, Lindsey Miller, who warned Tunsil he was endangering his Ole Miss eligibility. “I told him, ‘These guys are not professionals, they are shysters. Stay away from them. Everything will come to you later.’ ”

Is it technically a violation for Ole Miss to pay the light bill of the illegal agent's mother as well? **

So far we haven't heard of this being in the NOA. Interesting find.

You're missing part of this. He is saying that money came in while Tunsil was in high school. He is saying an Ole Miss coach sent him money while he was still a recruit. Holy crap, if that's true, they got no chance to skate.

No, you're missing part of this. Farrar has already stated that he has not given T$UNil money. He gave it to the Western Union Foundation, not T$UNil, but with love.**

In the alleged text messages, Miller responds to the request for rent by replying "See Barney next week," an apparent reference to Ole Miss assistant athletic director for high school and junior college relations Barney Farrar.

Farrar told ESPN's Joe Schad that he has not given Tunsil money and that Tunsil did not ask him for money.

According to twitter, the ncaa kew about all this last summer. Lets just go ahead and say everything else found out from now until the second coming was told to the ncaa last summer. Bet they knew trump would be the presumptive nominee

It doesn't make sense why the NCAA allowed T$UNil to ever play another down of collegiate football. I have to believe that T$UNil cut a deal with the NCAA.

Like I said, we have heard nothing about this potentially being in the NOA. He was interviewed in July, well before the NOA was delivered. Rosebowl hasn't been saying this even with all his sources. It makes me wonder if the NCAA investigated and couldn't prove it.

You are right they are toast if it can be proven.

It could come out that freeze paid Katy perry to bang the whole football team and OM would say the NCAA already knew this**

What I've yet to figure out is how the NCAA knowing all this is good for OM. If they did know then OM is about to get nailed.

Hearing about this in the NOA is one thing. Hearing about this from Miller is the real story here. Why now? Why the week when TUNS is supposed to respond to the NOA?

Have you ever seen NBC's To Catch a Predator?**

Clarion Ledger reports that the Miami Herald is reporting...**

The CL has now been scooped by let's see... the Washington Post, the Upson Beacon, and the Miami Herald. I'm sure the Weekly Reader and Highlights for Children will also join the list soon.

Not sure on the timing of it. The timing I'm curious about is he said he told them this last July. Could this be why the NOA has not been released for so long? You would think Barney would have been fired by now though.

Uhhh....

"Money was tight in the small, aging house behind the Lake City hospital. She and Tunsil's stepfather moved to Oxford, Mississippi, in 2014 to be closer to Tunsil and his younger brother, Alex Weber, who is an Ole Miss wide receiver."

Nothing to see here, either, people! Please, move along!

Not at all. They are setting up fictitious 5-star profiles with fictitious game tape and fictitious scholarship offers. Then they follow some of Saddawg's coochies on social media and write that they are looking for a little religion in their life. So, bibles and broads?

Well this would certainly help explain why a non-coach is such a great recruiter. Has anyone else thought it is strange to have a non-coach credited for being a lead recruiter on so many croots? I see his tactic was Dead Presidents and the Pony Express.

Not really. When your only job is to recruit, I would expect him to do most of the heavy lifting. The NCAA gave TUNS an exemption that a non-coach could recruit off-campus so that Wermer could stay at home with his handicapped son (which I can understand). But when you bring in a ringer and spit in the face of the NCAA's generosity, that's pretty low. I mean, it's the equivalent of replacing Hevesy with Brad Peterson on the recruiting trail.

Being the head-recruiter is one thing. Pulling Top 10 recruiting classes with no (modern) accomplishments to speak of says that this guy is a shyster.

Did they say he was clear?

I don't recall. Did the ncaa make a statement saying Tunsil was good to go or did the Rebs just say "17 it, 7 should be enough"?

Ding, ding, ding. I've been trying

To tell you guys that but know one listens. He cut a deal
to get back on the field and two weeks later he was waist
deep in new agent bs. They are so screwed.

Shrub said once that this will read like Tom Clancy level spy novel but I didn't believe him. But after T$UNil's diligence to burn down the Plantation on Draft Night mixed with new revelations by Miller, I am less incredulous. The next piece of puzzle drops this week.

Some of us have been listening and I'm still all ears. I'll even listen to the too good to be true stuff that you are hesitant to post.
