Finebaum right now.

[Maroonandwhite]

Well it only took 5 minutes for Paul to insinuate that if a player was allegedly offered enticements from OM and signed elsewhere, there could be trouble at those institutions as well. This is classic. OM cheats so MSU and Auburn are guilty by association. Will we ever catch a break?

 

[Moe Cabelle]

I find it amazing this logic is now common place, but it wasn't given time of day when Team Cam spurned our non-offer... only to sign with Auburn, for free.

 

[Rushisaband]

So he is basically saying auburn was guilty with Cam then?

 

[The Fatboy]

He will change his tune when he finds out the 3rd unnamed SEC school is Alabama

 

[AlCoDog]

More ignorance. No way the administrations of the schools allow those players to talk without a guarantee in writing that the player and the school are safe. Lawyers are involved in these meetings.

 

[croomin]

What do you expect? Nothing to see. Good Sports Radio.

I'm sure he'll cover every angle of today's news.

 

[fishwater99]

Does he not lnow what immunity means?

Idiot.

 

[AlCoDog]

And to add, it is only assumed by the dumbasses using this talking point that the players accepted benefits from OM. They're just trying to see what offers were made by OM, and corroborate leads they already have.

 

[121Josey]

I'm sure the investigators are not playing SEC Bingo: Draw university name. Draw player number. Bingo.

 

[Maroonandwhite]

Exactly. But I'm just waiting for Paul to have Freeze on the phone this afternoon to clear up the truth from today's "gossip."

 

[ByersFarm]

I didn't take it that way. He's tearing down a rebel land bear right now. Guy was claiming it was a witch hunt because they were beating everyone and said that state and auburn could get in trouble. Paul asked him if he knew how immunity worked.

 

[josebrown]

Paul has played dumb, and erred on the side of UNM's caution dealing with this investigation every step of the way, initially, until corrabaration comes out from another source. You'd think he's a Freeze-pumper some days, unlike crucifying Jackie with any mention of guilt being in the air..

 

[Maroonandwhite]

Like I stated, it was an insinuation. No one during the OM investigation has so much as whispered State was in anyway involved in shady recruiting. But He loves to play two sides against one another. Paul has been very dismissive of allegations throughout the investigative process almost to the point of absurdity. I think he may be starting to turn on Freeze; but, he still can't resist stirring the pot.

 

[Dawgzilla]

I think Paul started to turn on Freeze and Bjork on Draft day. He was willing to accept the party line from them until the Tunsil situation. Then the two of him came on his show the following Monday and refused to answer any of his questions while singing "the narrative". Then we actually saw the NOA. Paul doesn't like being lied to, and he really doesn't like his show being used for PR purposes that way. His statements about UMiss may not be as strong as you like, but I don't think he has any sympathy for them at this point.

 

[shotgunDawg]

NCAA: "So, Mr. Mississippi State player, did Ole Miss offer you any benefits in the recruiting process?"

MSU Player: "Yes, they gave my family two cars."

NCAA: "So, why did you sign with Mississippi State?"

MSU Player: "Because it was my dream school & where I always wanted to play."

NCAA: "Thanks for your cooperation"

MSU Player: "Your welcome"

If those idiots believe players are going to tell on the school they are currently at, they are dumber than we even realized

 

[josebrown]

No kidding!

 

[Palos verdes]

Fact: Pawl is an idiot.

Probable: Pawl is a Hillary supporter

Confirmed: Pawl hates all things MSU.

 

[cheewgumm]

Exactly...just like Cam Newton

He left State and went to Auburn...but didnt take any $

 

[TheStateUofMS]

Why is this so hard for y'all to understand?

NCAA will be asking the players about their recruitment to Ole Miss and Ole Miss only. Other schools are irrelevant.

Someone mentioned before about lawyers being present-yes, of course. The only questions that will be allowed to be asked of the player is about Ole Miss recruitment tactics.


Hail State.

I think he erred on the side of the SEC's caution at first. Do they or ESPN sign his check?

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

If they were granted immunity, couldnt they say "State gave me the most money!!" and not a thing be done? If not, then what exactly does immunity mean?

 

[TBone.sixpack]

He doesn't use his show for PR purposes unless you are Bama.

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

Same stupid talking point that came out when Chris Jones got interviewed. This investigation has nothing to do with anyone but UM. Period.

 

[dawgatUSM]

The things I've heard from credible people is that Ole Miss will pay to just get you on a visit. Their thought process is that if they can get you there you'll commit. Or, if not, it creates hype just to have a lot of high profile guys.

That said, I'm sure Malachi Dupree was never intending to go there. But he certainly went on a visit and took pictures with college girls and talked about it on Twitter.

Im sure rules were broken by Ole Miss, but that doesn't automatically mean that LSU broke rules (though I'm not ruling it out).. It would just mean the dude took some cash to go visit a campus. What would ole miss do? Tell on him?

 

[Dawgzilla]

The way I understand it, the immunity is for the player, but not for the institution. So the player's eligibility will remain intact, but the school he signed with could face an investigation of their own. However, I don't think the investigator is even supposed to ask about another institution unless an official investigation has been opened.

But, I could be dead wrong about all of this. The NCAA rules always seem to surprise me.

 

[josebrown]

I think he erred on the side of the SEC's caution at first. Do they or ESPN sign his check?

Is UNM, the SEC or ESPN under investigation?

 

[josebrown]

Immunity means if they accepted any benefits from reps of UNM they will not be punished.

The only questions asked in these interviews are about their recruiting experiences with UNM. What's so difficult about that?
