📡 NCAA vs Ole Miss: FOI request rejected by Ole Miss

[TUSKtimes]

With SEC players given immunity to testify and finally hearing for a fact that the NCAA is moving past Tunsil for evidence, Ole Miss feels a lot like, dead team walking.

YAHOO's Pat Forde

Maybe Akers really will sign with ohio state then.

I cant recall a team cheating as out in the open as piss was. And to think tunsil had to give it to them point blank on prime time tv/social media for anything of any real consequence to happen.

How much longer can piss employ that deufus/phony of a HC ?

Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze’s pretend funeral isn’t *quite* as strange as it sounds

That 4 year NCAA colonoscopy exam he was experiencing must have been more serious than he was letting on?

@TerryP. What a hypocrite.

@TerryP. What a hypocrite.

Ya know, every time I say "God damn", folks will say "DON'T TAKE THE LOWERED'S NAME IN VAIN!"

But, saying God Damn is the farthest thing from it. What taking the Lord's name in vain is actually using the name of God for your own vanity and gain. Prosperity preachers come to mind.

Hugh Freeze reminds me of a slick talking prosperity (false) gospel preacher. Swindling and twisting rules, all while hiding behind a false form of Christianity.

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen...and I was in the Army.

My previous statement makes more sense with context. I was referencing this..

Freeze knows that his end is coming!!

 

[Bamabww]

This is probably not nice but "burn baby burn" is all I can think / hope when it comes to ole siss.

Ole Miss responds to updated NCAA notice of allegations

 

[JoshB]

 

[JoshB]

1. The first allegation – it is alleged that a prospective student-athlete (Prospective Student-Athlete A) went hunting near campus on private land owned by a booster during his official visit in 2013 and on two or three occasions after he enrolled, and that the access to this land was arranged by the football program. This has been alleged as a Level III violation.

2. The second allegation – it is alleged that between March 2014 and January 2015, a former staff member (Former Staff Member A) impermissibly arranged for recruiting inducements in the form of lodging and transportation for one prospective student-athlete (Prospective Student-Athlete B) (who enrolled at another institution) and his companions on several visits to campus and for the impermissible transportation of another prospective student-athlete (Prospective Student-Athlete C) on one occasion. The total value of the lodging and/or transportation between the two prospective student-athletes is alleged to be $2,272. It is also alleged that the football program provided approximately $235 in free meals to Prospective Student-Athlete B (who enrolled at another institution) and Prospective Student-Athlete C and the friends of Prospective Student-Athlete B during recruiting visits in this same timeframe. The allegation is alleged as a Level I violation.

3. Third, it is alleged that Former Staff Member A violated the NCAA principles of ethical conduct when he knowingly committed NCAA recruiting violations between March 2014 and February 2015 and when he knowingly provided false or misleading information to the institution and enforcement staff in 2016. This is charged as a Level I violation.

In the fourth allegation, we agree that evidence exists to support some – but not all – of the events alleged.

4. In the fourth allegation, it is alleged that between April 2014 and February 2015, Former Staff Member A initiated and facilitated two boosters having impermissible contact with Prospective Student-Athlete B (who enrolled at another institution). It is further alleged that these two boosters provided Prospective Student-Athlete B (who enrolled at another institution) with impermissible cash payments during that timeframe and that Former Staff Member A knew about the cash payments. The value of the alleged inducements according to the NCAA is between $13,000 and $15,600. This is charged as a Level I violation.

The university believes there is sufficient credible and persuasive evidence to conclude that the impermissible contact outlined in the fourth allegation occurred. However, we are still evaluating whether there is sufficient credible and persuasive evidence to support the alleged payments and will make that determination over the course of the next 90 days.

Setting aside those four allegations, the university will contest the following allegations in full:

5. Allegation number five – It is alleged that one former staff member (Former Staff Member B) arranged for a friend of the family of Prospective Student-Athlete D to receive impermissible merchandise from a store owned by a booster on one occasion in 2013 and that Former Staff Member A arranged for Prospective Student-Athletes B and E (both student-athletes enrolled at another institution) to receive merchandise in 2014, 15, and 16. The value of the alleged impermissible recruiting inducements is approximately $2,800 and is charged as a Level I violation.

6. Number six – It is alleged and we will contest that, in 2014 a current football coach had impermissible, in-person, off-campus contact with Prospective Student-Athlete B (who enrolled at another institution). This allegation is charged as a Level III violation.

7. Allegation seven – It is alleged that a booster provided money, food and drinks to Prospective Student-Athlete B (who enrolled at another institution) and his companions at the booster’s restaurant on two-to-three unspecified dates between March 2014 and January 2015. The value of the alleged inducements is between $200 and $600. This allegation is charged as a Level I violation that we will contest.

8. Another Allegation that we will contest is number eight – It is alleged that the head football coach violated head coach responsibility legislation. This allegation is not based upon personal involvement in violations by Coach Freeze but because he is presumed responsible for the allegation involving his staff that occurred between October 2012 and January 2016. Although we disagree, according to the NCAA, Coach Freeze has not rebutted the presumption that he is responsible for his staff’s actions. This is charged as a Level I violation.

9. Finally, allegation nine – It is alleged that the scope and nature of the violations demonstrate that the university lacked institutional control and failed to monitor the conduct and administration of its athletics program. This charge replaces the more limited failure to monitor charge in the January 2016 Notice of Allegations. This is charged as a Level I violation that we will contest.

The irony that Tunsil's actions/comments reopened an old wound.

15 level 1 violations, this could get really ugly. Will 11 self imposed scholarship and a single year of post season ban suffice? Doubt it.

Worth noting, all of the violations that @Birdman37 posted above fall under Bjork (hired in March 2012) and Freeze (hired December 2011) leadership.

Bama taught all NCAA sports programs that the strategy is to deny and DO NOT cooperate. Has anything come of the Petino/Louisville basketball scandle? I'm still speechless that we hired and paid millions to attorneys to investigate and disclose and we got sodomized for cooperation.
