and found this bit rather interesting detailing how cars are funneled to players:
"There are jokes about kids getting cars, but that's actually pretty easy. We all have dealerships all over. You practically have to nowadays, anyway, just for the coaches. Think about it. Most schools, all the football, basketball, and baseball coaches and their wives are getting some kind of vehicle for free as part of their contract. Then they're turning them in every three years or so. That's a fleet right there. You need a lot of guys with dealerships, and you need them in different towns. Then getting a clean title on a member of the family is pretty easy."
Whatever the minimum of necessary paperwork to absolve a player of improper benefits received is, it's not a problem. A title for a moderately priced SUV can be created in a relative's name, as can a receipt of sale for a reasonable price.
"Hey, how'd he get that ride? His uncle bought it. How did his uncle buy it? Paid cash. Paid cash, how'd he do that? ****, we don't know, but here's the receipt where he paid cash, and now y'all ain't got ****. Go tell the NCAA you think we're cheating because this kid's uncle bought him a used Tahoe in cash, you racist."

That sounds oddly familiar to his Dontae/Spencer Moncrief story.
STEP ONE: Family member has a car in their name that the player uses- for Moncrief, it was an '09 Charger.
STEP TWO: The car is paid for in cash (Spencer Moncrief made his payments in person at a bank in Tupelo).
Then, when the NCAA comes knocking, cry racism.

Memo to Godfrey: If you're going to tote water for Ole Miss, at least make sure it's over something that you haven't already given the world an operational road map of... Because you've already explained to the public exactly how they make this little operation work. How many Ole Miss players have family members that got a Cannon deal? Asking for a friend.
ETA: For the record, I have no clue if the Moncrief car deal was legit or not. I just find the outrage with the NCAA in this particular case to be ridiculous. Between the NCAA knowing how Ole Miss operates its car operation to Moncrief's cousin eventually becoming disassociated, it's not far fetched to think that this was a situation worth looking in to pretty deeply.
