What happens to Leo when
- Thread starter zreb
- Start date
Better question: When it's exposed that M $U paid him, will they have to vacate all of this year's wins?
Vacating doesn't do much for me. That's like saying ok Mr Clinton, you didn't have sex in the oval office.
Most likely nothing will happen to Lewis. He was granted immunity from the NCAA and is protected by his activities involving their investigation. In addition, if needed, a good defense lawyer will protect Lewis in a U.S. Court of Law.

You haven heard about the Rebel Rags lawsuit where he is accused of libel I suppose? No immunity as ncaa isn't a part of this.
He could be asked about other schools who may have offered cash on the witness stand where the booster who allegedly gave him $ and denies it (true or false) and RebelRags who he claimed gave him gift cards which the owners, of which the attorney suing s one of, says they don't even ave gift cards. Several parties may want to duck when the stuff begins to fly, if in fact it does.

As the NCAA violations case against Ole Miss reaches its climax with next month's Committee on Infractions hearing, explosive allegations regarding the saga continue to emerge.
On Friday, both SB Nation and RebelGrove.com published detailed accounts of transcripts from Leo Lewis' testimony with NCAA investigators, which took place on three different occasions in 2016. Lewis, currently a starting linebacker at Mississippi State, told the NCAA he and his mother received cash and gifts from Ole Miss boosters, with his allegations forming the backbone of the ongoing infractions case against the Rebels.
However, the stories published Friday cite documents from Ole Miss attorneys, which allege that Lewis also told the NCAA that he received thousands of dollars from another SEC school, alleged to be Mississippi State. Lewis received limited immunity from the NCAA for his testimony, but that immunity only protects him, not MSU.
According to SB Nation, the NCAA briefly opened an investigation into Mississippi State football earlier this year, but quickly closed it. Lewis' allegations about receiving money from Mississippi State were found to be "ultimately... not sufficiently credible to support an allegation."
ADVERTISING
Among other things, Lewis told NCAA investigators that an Ole Miss booster delivered $6,800 in cash to him on the day before National Signing Day in 2015. Attorneys for Ole Miss argued to the NCAA that Lewis' testimony was inconsistent and possibly fabricated, but the NCAA responded last month that they believed Lewis to be a credible witness.
Lewis, a four-star recruit in the Class of 2015 from the south Mississippi town of Brookhaven, initially committed to Alabama before first flipping to Ole Miss and then to Mississippi State. He totaled 79 tackles as a redshirt freshman for the Bulldogs in 2016, and is expected to be among the team's top defensive players this season.
Ole Miss' NCAA Committee on Infractions hearing begins Sept. 11 in Covington, Kentucky. Lewis has been called to appear as a witness in the hearing.

I doubt Ms State paid him with all the rumors that Freeze and co. were already down and dirty with him. Say what you want about Dan but the guy doesn't cheat.
