I was referring to subpoenas and depositions-that will happen and placed against us by the NCAA. I'm assuming they will take advantage of the Freedom of Information Act from us, present evidence, much like in a court. Or am I incorrect? Do we get our day in court?
Not really, that's why the NCAA is such a joke. Each case is handled differently and at their discretion which means they can do what ever the hell they want to. Dismissing wins from 5 years ago is laughable at any program. No one cares about wins from last year once next year starts. The you have cases like Bama's LT telling reporters that he got paid and absolutely nothing happening. I'm not sure anything ever happened to the university wide cheating that went on at UNC. The power 5 should step out of the NCAA and set up a new governing body with rules and set guidelines on punishment. Tell kids if they take money, their college career is over. The NFL needs to be involved aswell to have some type of punishment for agents who give kids money. As of right now there is no penalty on that side what so ever so why would they stop trying to give a top ten pick money to get him to sign with them?
I've got a few choice words and a fist to give those asshole boosters and coach who got us into this mess! They totally ruined an up and coming program and set us back to prior Billy Brewer years! I saw the Sugar Bowl last year as we beat OSU and felt such pride for Ole Miss! Hell, no!
Right, and wreaks of corruption! Is Hillary somewhere in the picture? Seriously, your proposals are justifiable.I'd say allow a stipend for players, and DO NOT sign players of low character prowess, in spite of their athletic ability. Check background information, school records such as truancy, suspensions, and grades and ascertain that they were not just "passed down the line in spite of grades." Rest assured, I'd say Tunsil and Speaks had many such problems in school-only an assumption, I know. DUIs are very serious as Speaks has one. He should be history! Such players only lead to problems which we are going through now.
You keep spitting this same rhetoric yet you have absolutely nothing to back up the claims of cancers in the locker room. Have you ever thought that the end of the season was just the team and coaches giving up. It happens across america. Kiffen and Freeze got into it at Arky and out Dline didn't play the rest of the year. Yep he mailed it in and when a coach does so does his players. It's like having a boss who doesn't give a flip.
I CAN see smoke, and where there's smoke, there's fire. Call my rhetoric an educated guess or strong suspicion and let it be known I've seen this before. And yes, I have thought we gave up and have stated that. Quite obvious. But now you bring in a different matter. So why did they get into it? Seems we had a camaraderie issue as well. Not good.
What? Go to court? Not in this lifetime. The abpdminstration including coaches in the depositions because they would go to jail for perjury. They will not lie because someone else will tell the truth and it is jail time. If they don't lie then the NCAA will find out everything that has been going on for years. Suing is a no win.
They can't take deposition if it is not in a court. Go to court and in a deposition they can ask anything pertains to violations. It will open Pandora's box and they will find out things they did not even know about.
So with your two previous posts, you're saying we are screwed! Truly thought it was the American way to get your day in court, to answer up to accusers, and to defend yourself. Wow, and how many kids are affected with ambitions and dreams to attend and play for Ole Miss? Imagine the parents who want their son to play football at OM. Alumni! Monetary supporters! Doesn't seem right. That's called corruption!
Lol, now that is funny. The notion that anything or anyone could besmirch your reputation is laughable. Your reputation has couldn't be anymore besmirched. And there isn't anyone whom you can accuse of doing that your school, except maybe CHF, a couple of assistant coaches, and L.Tunsil and his step father. And again really those are all your own fault. So really you shouldn't accuse anyone else of that, it only makes you all look even worse.
I agree with you! No one arguing your point, Holly Springs! We've had some bad eggs in a bunch of good ones. And we were up and coming as a football team, the Sugar Bowl showed that, and our stadium is first class. A lot of effort went towards improving our football program-A LOT!! Certainly not accusing anyone except boosters in Oxford and the few rogue coaches who knew better. Then this crap happens! But as a life long OM fan, I'd like to get this over with. Understand my sentiment.
Has a lot to do with it! Any given recruit has seen that we may be in trouble. As a recruit, I wouldn't want to go to a school that has no chance of a bowl, where games are forfeited although I sweated and trained to play (all for nothing). Look at our recruiting ranking-pretty low, isn't it. Rest assured, we'd be doing a lot better. Thanks for your insight, though. You seem to be in the "know." I just go by common sense, see things from the recruit's view, and ignorance. Your posts are appreciated.
Completely. And from one fan to another I feel for ya. It's the ones who try and claim that nothing out of the norm happened and that there is a conspiracy out to get Ole Miss that get me.
Can you explain why the investigation has gone on so long? If they had something damning, wouldn't it be more productive to present it and bury us then move on? Are they paid by the hour? That's the only explanation I have. Just sayin'!
Who knows why the NCAA does anything? I think, if we're being honest. That there are other things that have to be answered for. I don't know how there couldn't be in light of what has already happened, that's my opinion anyway.
I agree! Been saying this same thing all along! It is deserved, sad to say if allegations are true, but either shi% or get off the po@!
I get that, Blindside. Time frame is also a major issue! The longer it goes on, the worse it gets.
