What is apparent in Tunsil's text messages

Is that he was receiving cash monthly to pay his mom's bills. The asst a.d. responsible for paying Tunsil seems surprised that Tunsil is asking for more than the agreed amount. He thought utilities were included in the rent.

The other thing is when one asst a.d. tells an athlete to see another asst a.d. to get cash there can be no doubt that a Lack of Institutional Control charge will be forthcoming from the NCAA.

How do you have a $300 electric bill in March? It's one of the more mild months of the year. Must be one hell of a house ms tunsil was living in.

That makes the texts even more believable to me. Anyone making these up would have put the dates sometime in the summer to correlate with high electric bills.

What is so damning is that the text talks about being in addition to the agreed upon monthly payment. "Coach" is not happy that it's higher than what was budgeted

Yeah looks like the budget was tightening in his final year. Not as many opportunities I guess.

You have a $300 electric bill in March when someone else you don't care about has to pay it.

Isn't his mom in Illinois, west of Chicago? March there is colder than January in Mississippi.

Tunsil is from Georgia and his mom moved to Oxford. Treadwell is the one from Illinois.
