🏈 Ole Miss gets NCAA allegation letter...UPDATE: Ole Miss receives extension of 30 days

[bamafan9201]

They're talking about this David Saunders issue in most of these for the Football team..David Saunders was not the one giving Tunsil loaner cars and such. Obviously they've been doing it during Freeze's tenure and trying to get away with it. I can see why Gary and a few other top recruits will go away from Ole Miss now. They won't get those paydays and cars they were promised.

I copied and pasted this from one of the comments on the forum. This guy hit the nail on the head. The Sherrill debacle was similar to the Dubose debacle at UA. The life-long investigation that took place did more harm than the sanctions..........(almost) Seriously, by the time the NCAA got done ass-raping folks, the full effect of investigation and sanctions would last 6-9 years. Negative recruiting, death penalty rumors.




It is imminently clear that the NOA could be released to quell the "unfair" masses who are unfairly accusing Ole Miss of anything. When MSU was investigated under Sherrill for 3 years, there was an update every damn day in the Clarion Ledger. In fact the 3 year investigation is what was more harmful to MSU than the penalties for the "infractions" themselves. Steve and us other MSU fans are simply tired of the obvious bias the state's largest newspaper has toward Ole Miss. Hugh Kellenberger is an Ole Miss fan. Daniel Pauling uses "we" when talking about Ole Miss on twitter. Its time that Ole Miss be given the same treatment as State by the Clarion Ledger. If that won't happen then 17 let Steve Robertson do it.

Soooooo when will they investigate the Nkimdeche brothers or their dad working for Ole Mi$$? Guessing only when he is canned from Ole Mi$$ and he wants to be a whistle blower.

 

[TerryP]

when will they investigate

When, what. ...

I shouldn't be, but am amused at how this is playing out. This story is playing right along to how we scripted it a few years ago.

Think about the Nkemdiche/Tunsil/Treadwell class ... on the heels of the Newton to Auburn ... how many times was is suggested "just wait until they piss off some of the Mississippi State fan base."

Now, there's a "beat writer/recruiting guy" for a recruiting network throwing FOIA requests around and, yeppers, he's a Dawg. I don't know anything about this Steve fella ... whether he's yapping, snapping, or has a bite and a hold of something. We'll see.

Mississippi's football program was cited by the NCAA in nearly half of the 28 rules violations levied against the school in the Notice of Allegations the university recently received, said a person with knowledge of the investigation.

The person said Tuesday that 13 allegations involve the football program, and nine of those occurred during current coach Hugh Freeze's tenure. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

The violations are a mix of Level I — which the NCAA considers most serious — and Level II and III. Many have already been self-reported by the school.

The school's women's basketball and track and field programs are also involved in the investigation.

Ole Miss has been under investigation since 2012 when women's basketball coach Adrian Wiggins and two assistants were fired after a school investigation found academic and recruiting misconduct. Two players were ruled ineligible and the school self-imposed a one-year postseason ban.

Ole Miss has 90 days to respond to the Notice of Allegations. School officials and legal counsel have not released the notice because they believe the documents should remain confidential while the investigation continues.

Some of the NCAA issues involving the football program are already known.

Left tackle Laremy Tunsil was suspended seven games during the past season after the NCAA ruled he received several improper benefits, including the use of three loaner cars over a six-month period.

A separate NCAA probe from last year involving Louisiana-Lafayette — and former football assistant David Saunders — also involved Ole Miss. Saunders worked at Ole Miss in 2010 under Nutt. Freeze became the Ole Miss head coach in December 2011.

Documents from the Louisiana-Lafayette case stated that Ole Miss legal counsel and NCAA enforcement staff interviewed Saunders in 2013.

Saunders was given an eight-year show-cause in the Louisiana-Lafayette case after the NCAA ruled he made an effort to arrange fraudulent college entrance exam scores for recruits.

Louisiana-Lafayette did not receive a postseason ban in its case, but was put on probation for two years and lost 11 scholarships over three seasons.

Ole Miss has already released some self-reported football violations over the past year, including that a "representative of athletics interests" provided transportation for potential recruits on six different occasions from 2011 to '14.

There was also a self-report where an assistant coach — whose name was redacted from documents — made improper contact with a recruit at a high school.​

Mississippi is a joke. Buncha wannabe chumps.

 

[TerryP]

We still haven't seen the letter.

Is the story changing from Ole Miss?

 

[bama alum]

Hey, Freeze...

 

[JoshB]

What happened to the claims by ppl in the media that "most of the violations happened before Freeze?" You go from that to nine out of the 13 are violations under Fereze...
