Inside the NCAA’s years-long, twisting investigation into Mississippi football
It’s alive and well folks

Ole Miss deserves all the sanctions that were imposed in December, but they shouldn't serve as the sacrificial lamb for the $EC.

Bama and UGA deserve just as much, if not more, culpability for playing the bag game. When is their day of reckoning?
 
Ask any fan base and they’ll tell you with great passion — and in great detail — how their arch rivals are doing dirty business to get ahead. Ask them if their team is doing the same and they’ll clutch pearls. Everyone cheats but us.

one of the realist things written there

In the aftermath of Draft Night, I was curious about how the NCAA was handling such an unprecedented event. Never before had an active NCAA investigation been subject to this kind of public attention. Even Miami.
They just had to throw Miami in there

This should be a very popular thread here. I expect at least a dozen I heard comments as well as the ever popular we're as clean as the driven snow stuff.

Completely agree. Emmert has his hands full on this one though. FWIW I've been told from a few coaching friends (school I coached at has sent players there recently and still communicates with their new staff) that Ole Miss has no intentions of rolling over and allowing Emmert to make an example of them. People at Ole Miss believe they have way too much on the rest of the SEC for the NCAA to risk it. They will flip on EVERYONE else.
If Emmert is dumb enough to allow the NCAA to go hard after them, I don't think he survives it. But if he does NOT punish them appropriately, he'll face major backlash. Guess there's always a chance other schools convince Ole Miss not to flip. But that wouldn't be cheap. Wouldn't surprise me if Emmert himself starts talking about the need to pay student athletes just to take the heat off.

Wait, you think head coaches are involved in the bag game? The great programs operate that game independently of the coaching staff. Safer that way. Clemson, Bama, OSU, FSU, etc all operate in the shadows, without a coach's involvement.

The coaches don't drop bags. It's other ppl around the program, not university employees

So THAT is how the SEC coaches get around it! They just aren't the ones physically dropping the bags. Of course! The ole RIck Pitino defense. That obviously makes them innocent than

Yeah. For real thanks. I don't want to get anyone in trouble or anything.

In general, at any school, 4 and 5 stars get something for their talents. Kids aren't lining up to play for Dabo because he's so **** chill.

Obviously they have a value that goes beyond tuition room and board
