Escorts!

[RutherfordBHayes]

There is a ton to unpack in these quotes out of the Godfrey article. Ignore all of his conjecture and conspiracy theory and look at the quotes. Check out this little quote from the transcript:

[NCAA investigator] Sheridan also asks Lewis if he was ever “fixed up with a lady” while visiting Ole Miss.

“Never,” Lewis said.

​

Holy mackerel. I can't emphasize how big of a story that is. The NCAA suspects Ole Miss of providing escorts to recruits. Certainly, that has long been the rumor, but Godfrey just gave it legs.

​

"Fixed up with a lady" is perhaps the most awkward wording for that I've seen in writing. Also note the question stipulated "while visiting Ole Miss." It's not all encompassing.

Why would Sheridan have asked this question ,out of the blue, many months before the Freeze hooker story broke?

 

[CochiseCowbell]

The NCAA was trying as best they could, within reason & within their own guidelines, bylaws, etc, to do a member institution, in their biggest cash cow conference, a favor, by keeping ALL of this confidential. OM has thrown everything back in their face & pissed on them.

The OM administration, the CL, Spirit Ben, Godfrey, ad nauseum think they are "Chazz" in "Airheads" wiping their *** with a "record contract" & completely ignoring the fact that they egregiously broke the rules (held a radio station hostage...with water pistols filled with tabasco). Winston from Ghostbusters is not your negotiator. You will get no nude photos of Bea Arthur. You're more like the bumbling Kramer in the air ducts.

Hey lurker douchebags, remember what happened to "the tape" in that film?!

 

[tatedog]

Why would Sheridan have asked this question ,out of the blue, many months before the Freeze hooker story broke?

I'll go back to my previous statement about the phrasing of that question. It seems really awkward. Being "fixed up with a lady" could mean something totally unrelated to sex. It could have pertained to being given a person's number to work with to get merchandise, an accusation that was actually made. Perhaps Leo didn't even understand what was being asked. I would definitely need more context to be sure.

I don't know. If they were asking about it back then but nothing about it was in the NOA, they apparently couldn't find much. Maybe with Mars digging, they can uncover something they were previously unable to uncover.

 

[josebrown]

I'm with you, need a little more context to truly understand it. I could see the 'hookers' being presented as Umiss students that happened to 'meet' and 'romance' a player. Then if asked, hey Were u provided a slutty, nasty-*** hooker from Umiss? I could see his answer being 'no'. And everything could be cool as far as Umiss n the NCAA is concerned.

 

[amcdan2000]

I wonder if they heard this during investigations of basketball and track?

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Meanwhile...Ole Miss folks are still Willfully Stupid beyond all hope.

Ignorance? Educate It.
Craziness? Medicate It.
But Willful Stupidity...just no fixing it.

I think it was pretty clear what he was asking, but I also don't believe the question was asked. I think Godfrey was throwing that in there to reinforce the narrative that hookers were for Freesze. Which in my opinion, makes the entire article not credible.

 

[amcdan2000]

Yes they definitely sound a lot happier there even though they are following the same fool they have for months. Evidently talcum is the source. There is a some kind of post on NAFOOM about a contempt charge against Rosebowl that I'm sure talcum has something to do with. Anyone know anything about that? Bet Richt, and other high level college program coaches, are laughing. State's taking bad pub for this. Lewis deal must have really chapped their ***. They paid him and he didn't come. I'd be mad too. I guess never screw over a highpriced talcum powder lawyer. He must have run out of his feminine hygiene powder he uses

 

[BossDawg78]

Yup. Either the NCAA has known about the escorts for a while, OR Godfrey made it up and threw it in there to try and help deflect the rumors of 'tutes for 'croots, not realizing what he was doing because lying about it would completely destroy what little credibility he has.

 

[PineGroveBully]

Maybe Umiss was just trying to set up the croots with a couple of those big gals from the basketball team to show the boys some of the fine dining choices available in Oxford

This is what I was thinking. Was it in the NOA? If not, how would he know that was asked?

 

[Dawgwalk.sixpack]

He said never.
Don't get the issue. If he had immunity and was offering up everything else why wouldn't he offer the death knell and say yes if it were true.

 

[Snog]

One of my father's teammates called it "militantly ignorant". Don't know and don't want to know.

 

[fishwater99]

Why did he include that quote?

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

"Lady" isn't the proper term....

More like "Hooked Up With a Ho."

 

[Dogariffic]

More like "Hooked Up With a Ho."

Good point. It is just like tsun to split hairs and be literal.
If they had asked about "hoe's" Leon may have answered differently...*****
Just sayin!

 

[mount lefroy]

Good point. If Leo was in "coached up to destroy miss mode" as Godfrey et al suggest wouldn't the answer have been " hell yes and she was only 15 years old". ?
