Here's something no one has pointed out.

Miller files civil suit against Tunsil on April 26
NFL Draft-gate April 28
Polingo files for divorce from Miller on May 2
Interesting. We had heard that Polingo and Miller were still together in the spring and that Tunsil and him had, at least partially, reconciled. Seems there was another falling out which ended in Miller filing suit against Tunsil and then his Mom completely cutting ties after Draft-gate.
Here's what I want to know. We were told for the previous 365 days that prior to last June's incident, Miller had handpicked some small-time agents and firms for Tunsil's representation.
We were also told that once Tunsil figured out by other top agents like Sexton that the agent was actually a runner he fired him, which instigated the whole Draft day drama. As all of that went down, we were told the target was Tunsil.
However, there's a huge mystery within that whole theory. The second caption on the IG screenshots directly only the OM coaching staff, stating that they were "snakes."
Yet we're supposed to believe that Lindsey Miller had nothing to do with it. A guy who has a clear ax to grind to the OM coaching staff. It makes perfect sense in this theory that he was at least involved. Why would the runner have such strong motivation in taking down the Ole Miss coaching staff by throwing out that comment in the caption? You figure if the motivation was strictly taking down Tunsil, the caption on the IG pics would be something like, "See look, Tunsil is a snake who took money!"
The only scenario I can find conceivable is if Freeze gave Tunsil the recommendation to go with Sexton over the small-time firm that wanted to be his representation. The same representation that Miller preferred.
Either way, I don't think this is strictly a fired agent gone rogue. There's much more to the story. Likely pieces we will never hear.
And another thing as it relates to the NCAA case. If they are going to dig and punish us based on information about Tunsil's fired agent, it's already been stated that he was being investigated by the NCAA 6 years ago for involvement with other players and programs. As Neal said, that's not a road they want to go down.
I will be honest, and it probably won't be popular. I agree completely with @REBELTAXMAN's post this weekend. The more this drags on, the more I'm disagreeing with our administration's strategy. And in addition, I believe the longer the negative press drags on, the more public pressure will be on the NCAA to do something noteworthy with our case to send a message.
I'm honestly anxious to see what the NOA possesses. If it's no big deal as insiders have suggested, I'm going to wonder why we've waited 4 months to release the thing.
Either way, it'll be anxious to see how it shakes out. I'm at least hoping we get this resolved in the next few months. The last thing we need is some extension or the NCAA to revoke this NOA until they finish this inquiry.
