Agreed, I'm disappointed. For the very first time in this entire 3 year implosion, flagship administration makes an inevitable, obvious, and wise decision.

Dammit.

That lawsuit has already done plenty of damage to them. Way more than I would have ever let it do if I were them.

If the quoted statement by UM could have put this case to bed when Nutt first filed it and was not offered, someone in administration at OM is a real jackass.

"Someone in administration at OM is a real jackass."

Am I a master of the art of understatement what?

Sounds like ******** puckered at the mention on bjdorks phone records. He sure sailed his buddy out with no sail and didn't want to meet the same fate.

So the settlement didn't include an apology?

Man, I would like to have been on the party line when UM lawyers had to make that call.

The landsharts have somehow come to the conclusion that they came out on top in this. I'll give it to those morons, they can spin just about anything. They have no shame. It makes perfect sense now why the rev was such a perfect fit at that insane asylum.

Yep, kinda funny how quickly the settlement was reached after the case was filed in the correct jurisdictional setting (basically meaning OM was out of lawyer tricks to prevent the subpoenas from rolling out). The whole purpose of Mars filing in federal court beforehand was to simply display his interface with the public about every minute detail, therefore making it well known that any dirty laundry from the discovery period of the actual suit was going to be front page news. The discovery period of this particular suit was always going to be way more damaging than the outcome of the suit itself, whichever way it went. OM legal team knew this.

I hear they offered Nutt first dibs on his old job back and a free, slightly used burner phone.

If that's a win, it's the most Pyrrhic victory ever. They winningest coach since Vaught had to resign in disgrace, and it dealt a big blow to their NCAA defense which was largely based on his honesty and integrity.

Even their apology contains outright LIES ..

"Certain statements made by University employees in January 2016 appear to have contributed to misleading media reports about Coach Nutt," read the university's statement. "To the extent any such statements harmed Coach Nutt's reputation, the University apologizes, as this was not the intent.The NCAA's Notice of Allegations dated January 22, 2016, did not name or implicate Coach Nutt in any misconduct, and it would have been inappropriate for any University employee to suggest otherwise."

Bucky and Bjork LIED TO media with the desired PURPOSE of keeping the 2016 recruiting class

I don't think I've ever heard of people in a position Bjork and the others at OM making decisions screwed up so bad. A lot of things may have ended differently for some people if they had ended this suit right out of the gate. Mars showed them what a good lawyer will do for you and those clowns representing OM showed just how entitled they think they are.

Here's the full quote: "Generally, in legal proceedings, the University of Mississippi allows its formal court filings to speak on its behalf . . . But to be clear, this case has no merit, and there is no reason to apologize. Further, it is clear Mr. Nutt’s suit seeks far more than an apology."

Alice Clark, vice chancellor of university relations at Ole Miss, made that statement.

I guess she, and Ole Miss, subsequently changed their minds and decided that Nutt's case DID have merit and that there WAS a reason to apologize.

I would also guess that the settlement involved giving Nutt "far more than an apology."

In my opinion, Clark and Ole Miss are a couple of stupid f***s.

Just think what a real newspaper could do with that quote. There's a story there for any journalist with balls. Start by asking her to comment on the change in position. She's vice chancellor for university relations so "no comment" won't cut it. It's her job to respond to an issue like that.

If if only we still had professional journalists in this state instead of fan base media outlets like the Clarion Ledger.

Yep.. she's the one who went out of her way to trash Nutt's lawsuit. She even says usually they let court filings speak for themselves but not in this case. So..... what've you got to say now??

Makes you wonder what all Mars had on them.

Mars had OM by the cajones. Go read the 88 pages of the suit (LINK) where Mars names 'who, what, where and when' Bucky & Bjork called to throw all blame on Nutt to save the 2016 class.

Bucky is gone. Bjork won't last ONE day after COI results. Will be totally surprised if the Chancellor Vitter isn't canned shortly after that.
