The disassociated boosters

[MagnificentBastard]

Its pretty easy to figure out who most of them are by reading Ole Miss's response to the 2nd NOA. They said they disassociated the boosters in allegations 5,11,15,16,18 and 19. A quick reading of these allegations lead to the following:

Allegation 5: This allegation is all about the Memphis "Hudl Leader" that is in actuality a booster

Allegation 11: This one is about free hotel rooms. Hotel/Hotel Owner in Oxford.

Allegation 15: SA 39 getting free food and cash in Oxford. Oxford Restaurant/Restaurant Owner

Allegations 16: Cash payments to SA 39. Unknown booster and their booster employee

Allegations 18: Cash Payment to Lindsey Miller of $800. Unknown Booster

Allegation 19: Tunsil's "Loaner" Car. Oxford Car Dealership/Dealership Owner


I think we can fill in the blanks on a lot of these names. Obviously Rebel Rags and Terry Warren are not disassociated yet. Best guess would be John Doe is from allegation 16. But just a guess.

By disassociating that means OM admitted to these allegations correct?

 

[MagnificentBastard]

Yes and No

They admit in full to allegations 11,18 and 19.

Allegation 5: They agree to it but they basically say they were unaware that he was a booster. They viewed him more as a mentor.

Allegation 15: Admit to improper contact and believe that SA 39 received food but dispute the amount of food and dispute cash payments

Allegation 16: Admit to improper contact but not to cash payments

The Bears tend to use a very loose definition of "disassociated booster" evidently, due to the large number of pictures I've seen of Brad Lott on campus. Kind of like Bill Clinton's definition of sex

Brad Lott is just the gift that keeps giving

Disassociation of a booster just means they are no longer permitted to participate in the athletic program or booster club. They can still go to campus, donate to the University, and even buy tickets to athletic events.

Can they still donate in the same business name as before? I thought I read they couldn't.

 

[Dawgzilla]

My understanding was they were free to donate to the University, just not the athletic department or booster club. I guess there could be a problem if they were expecting to receive publicity for the donation and that bled over to athletics somehow.

And I don't know if a disassociated business is still be allowed to purchase ad time on the broadcast of athletic events. That's not a direct payment to the University athletic program, but it would certainly be awkward.

Looks like there is a common mind set between OM coaches and boosters that they will deny, deny, deny any accusations of cash payments because it's nearly impossible to prove. If anybody tells on them, they'll just make the kid out to be a liar.
