Well seems like he has changed his stance.

 

[HD6]

You know, kudos to him. Admits the info he had was bad, and as a result, his opinion is different.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Agreed.

 

[MaroonNation]

Damn dude is pissed. He shouldn't be that upset. Anyone with any common sense sees through Freeze's ********.

 

[DerHntr]

Hopefully articles like this make it to the committee's desks prior to their meeting. I think they should make the bowl ban immediate though. Don't let them enjoy the spoils of cheating this year.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

It is obvious they have misled the media. Will be interesting to see if the NCAA truly feels like OM was cooperative in an exemplary fashion.

 

[drt7891]

There needs to be a lot more media outrage about the fact that Bjork lied back in January about the severity of the NOA. Then hid it from the public as long as possible.

It's also funny how no ole miss fans seem to be upset that freeze and Bjork lied to them. Instead, they have it out for Steve and others for scooping the story.

I wonder when HK will readdress his earlier evaluations of "hot-takery" regarding the response to the investigation by people who actually were telling the truth.

From HK:

Still, why I remain skeptical that anything much will come of this is more of a reflection of the NCAA's lack of investigative teeth in these matters. It'll largely come down to what of Miller's allegations he can prove, and if Delbert Hosemann and the Mississippi Secretary of State's office gets interested. It's their jurisdiction when it comes to matters related to athletic agents, and could pursue its own investigation (spokesperson Pamela Weaver said it is normal procedure to not confirm or deny whether or not this would be the case).

Do you still remain skeptical Hugh after getting a closer look at the NCAA's investigative abilities, compared to say that of your own? Do you think the NCAA gives a flying 17 about what the Mississippi Secretary of State has to say?

It is obvious they have misled the media. Will be interesting to see if the NCAA truly feels like OM was cooperative in an exemplary fashion.

I wonder if blatantly lying to the media makes its way into the deliberation by the committee. They showed they were snakes with their actions, supposedly cooperated, Tunsil provided more information AFTER the investigation was over, and then they outright lied in the press about the NOA to keep their recruiting class together. The NCAA could easily see it was lies because they wrote the NOA.

How can the committee or the investigation team believe they were dealing with truthful people when all of this is going on? Shirley they cant believe OM has learned their lesson and deserves to get the minimal sanctions they proposed.

Good ol' Chadd. Got his start in Auburn. Listened to him on sports talk in the afternoon and I think he as on pretty much every morning as part of a team. Then one week the bosses went on vacation and he ran the "Mrs. Chadd Scott" contest. He didn't last long after that.

Awesome.

"Nice try.

For starters, Vaughn and Saunders, the two former assistants behind the bogus ACT tests, should be prevented from ever coaching in college athletics at any level again. There is no questioning what they did was crooked; they knew it when they did it, there was no subtlety or nuance to their actions – it was a naked violation of a sacrosanct NCAA provision.

The three current Ole Miss assistant coaches found to have acted inappropriately should be prevented from recruiting off campus for the remainder of the class of 2017 recruiting cycle. Ole Miss disputes Nix’s involvement which is why it suggests only suspending two assistants. Ole Miss has lost the benefit of the doubt.

The one organization and four individuals (boosters) having been found providing improper benefits to student-athletes should be disassociated with the program for 10 years.

Ole Miss should face a five-year probationary period during which the football program should lose five scholarships per year for a total of 25.

Ole Miss should face a two-year postseason ban in football beginning after the 2017 football season. This allows any current players to transfer from the school following this season without losing a postseason and makes potential recruits aware of the ban in plenty of time to inform their decision on which college to attend.

During this two-year postseason ban, the SEC should withhold the Rebels’ share of the conference’s College Football Playoff and bowl payouts, a sum which can approach $6 million annually depending on how many SEC teams participate in the Playoff, Playoff-associated bowls and other bowl games. A share of league revenue derived from the SEC Championship Game, another seven-figure payout, should also be withheld for the same duration."

How Bjork has a job at this point is beyond

My comprehension. No coaches fired, I'm telling
you they are hiding some bad **** and it is about to
Get out or they are so enamoured with Bjork and Freeze they
just can't bear the thought of losing them. It just gets better
from here, the media, their usual partner is gonna take them
down. Oh the irony.

 

[coach66]

The NCAA has been feeding Rosebowl.

They are not fooled by Ole Miss this time around. No blow jobs
for RJ.

IF any one should know about cheating it would be an Auburn fan/grad.

 

[ByersFarm]

Lying to the media doesn't end will once you've been caught.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

I think of the movie "Blue Chips" when Nick Nolte at the very end tells of his team "last season was 12 and 14" compared to the current team he was coaching that was almost all Pay For Play.

I believe that scene is sort of like Hugh Freeze's start at Ole Miss. Freeze's 2012 season was 6-6 and the run down Birmingham Bowl. So then he buys some players just like the "Blue Chips" movie, and Freeze knew that doing this was a risk but that he could get 3 good winning seasons before they ran off to the NFL.

This past season was all about hiding the NCAA findings and hiding the truth until AFTER the 2016 signing class all signed their LOIs. This 2016 class would be like the 2013 class---an assumed 3 winning seasons to get them through any NCAA fallout.

So the pattern will be: Cheat like Hell and buy the #1 ranked players in the country in year 1. Years 2-3 will be winning seasons that should span over any NCAA 2 year Bowl ban. In Year 4 the Bowl ban will be over and Ole Miss will buy a new crop of #1 ranked players in the country and start the cycle over again.

Taking 3-4 scholarships a year away will NOT stop this cycle. A 2 year Bowl ban will NOT stop the cycle either.

If Bjork was our AD, he would have been fired by now- there is almost no doubt in my mind about that.

Imagine if Sticklin had three programs with multiple level one violations- two of which were led by coaches he had hired- and then lied to the media and fans about what was in the NOA? His *** would have hit the pavement the day that NOA was released, if not sooner. Just another example of the difference between us and UM.

Funny how shocked he is that he was lied to. When the school has the letter and won't release it, there's a reason. And it's probably not because they're telling you the truth about it.

And that is exactly why i dont buy the sincerity of this article either.

 

[fishwater99]

This is the truth, after talking to several Bears this weekend.
Freeze and Bjork are great and had nothing to do with the cheating.


"they are so enamoured with Bjork and Freeze they

Speaking of, I hope our good friend cj johnson is wrapped up in causing this.

Ha, aj brown. What goes around. you get what's coming to you. Kinda hope freeze lied to him directly.

Will ppl say "the poor kids" at ole miss? They were duped by these rogue boosters....bless their hearts.

 

[Moe Cabelle]

Agree, the only thing missing is penalties for using players that clearly participated in "cheating". Vacate wins if any of the act guys played in a game. There has to be a heavy hand against fraud and it has long been suspected that umiss had a "plan" for those bordering on grade issues. Next, regardless of the suspension, how does any game that tunsil play on get to count? Especially after these violations occurred after investigation started. At minimum, tunsil participated games should be forfeited in 2015, but I'd argue they all should.

Given all the heppin, can anyone really believe that the benefits only started after they arrived on campus?

Penalties should be harsh. Those freaking hypocrites made off like sherrill was the biggest cheater ever, but it pales in comparison to the entire operation they're running in Oxford. There is no current integrity in the leadership to say no to anything.

I think the problem is who to fire...and what happens when you do. They really are ALL in. Short of hiring Remo Gaggi to handle things, they're in a little bit of a bind.
