Honestly, how does

[mount lefroy]

The infractions committee see the repeated use of exemplary cooperation in light of miller and barneys texts that we know know were not known by the ncaa enforcement staff? These are current staff members who were not mentioned in the First noa.
How can the spirit of this term be taken as more than an insult to the Ncaa?

Seriously, light sanctions due to cooperation you were proven to have not provided?

Om better get an independent counsel to redraft this unless the infractions committee is too dumb to catch this.

I posted it earlier, I think it is pretty clear at this point

That Risebowls source is the NCAA. They are
17ing with the Rebs it appears to me.

I think about it like Bjerk and Freezus are two sides of the same coin. Bjerk fellates to the NCAA while Freezus leads his staff to cover their tracks. TUNS does not want the two to be cooperating.

"Exemplary cooperation" is more hospitality, saying I need to see this and your fetch it, not necessarily anything to do with "fact finding". You can't turn over what you supposedly don't have. You can always say that you don't know about something, but self-reporting at least shows that you were "cooperating" to remedy the problem. It's the investigators/auditors job to find irregularities. But the NCAA is not going to open an investigation unless there is smoke.

ETA: I think the NCAA put together the internal assistance without the text messages. All roads lead to Rome.

They have some much evidence on them if they released it all the program would be decimated. Its been a forensics lab full of substance pointing to a total lack of respect possible.

OM is in a world of pain and they know it. They are all saying its no big deal. The delusion is beyond comprehension.

 

[121Josey]

I was wondering about that cryptic comment earlier. I'm not so sure about that given what other people have reported, but maybe indirectly. Assistance or not, Ricey has done an exceptional job at connecting the dots.

I think the Feds said Madoff was an awesome host

There is no way at this point to deny

His sources are either directly from an
NCAA person or someone being fed directly
from the NCAA and then to him.

 

[121Josey]

Maybe I'm off on all that he has reported but I don't think he has reported anything all that great. His fought for the longest time against "there's no investigation" to it's "mostly track and WBB" to "old regime". It doesn't take much to make a 3 year-old investigation disprove that line. Besides that it was just the ACT stuff until the loaner car thing blew up last summer. I think it is from someone who has been questioned by the NCAA passing it on to him. If it is the NCAA directly, I can't see how they can use him without an intel swap.

 

[coach66]

Hopefully he will write a book. When he

Speaks now the Bears are all ears.

He said there was an investigation when they denied it, he said there was a NOA and they denied it (until forced to respond to his FOI request), and he said Bjork's representations regarding the NOA were wrong. Each time he said something about their investigation contrary to official statements and was shown to be right. Give the guy credit.

Sure, but don't act like there were not other journalists publishing articles during this time too. BTW, they still haven't responded to the FOI, hence the NOA today.
NOA Jan. 21.
Pat Forde Yahoo Article Jan. 29.
David Brandt AP Article Feb. 9

Steve Robertson of Genespage.com has been on top of the story since day one. He sent a freedom of information request to Ole Miss some time ago, which was due by Friday, February 5th. He and OM mutually agreed on an extension to procure those documents until today, February 10th.

Listened to the Boneyard again this morning. "Roseside" say that after the NOA dropped, before he could read the documents, he had around a dozen messages from solid sources saying they're still lying, there's more coming. That raises the probability that one of them is associated with the NCAA.**

 

[ShrubDog]

Its a cornucopia of sources. They are the gifts that keep on giving, thanks OM.

 

[Shmuley]

Part of me wants this "more to come" bidness to be nothing more than a Reve troll job. And it works. They cop to more.

 

[drt7891]

The fact that academic fraud (forging ACT scores) was linked to them was damning enough, even if it didn't involve the current administration. But The current administration has shown little restraint in not giving a flying **** about those accusations. Those are the most serious, IMO. But the "Lack of Institutional Control" argument holds substance when you consider the amount of violations uncovered after the Wayne County testing fiasco was linked to OM. ULL got the hammer for something David Saunders did. ULL was the model of cooperation, yet they still got punished severely and that was their only crime. OM has been doing everything possible to win signing day, and has not cared about the rules or being remotely transparent (they have lied repeatedly in public statements since this started uncovering)... in the name of winning signing day. Their day of reckoning is fast approaching.

josey, at least give the 'devil his due'....the guy has kept the pressure on like no one else and has had info that no one else has had the courage to come forth with (if they actually had the info).... he has laid his neck and all his credibility on the line from the very get go way back in the winter months....."hasn't posted anything all that great".... sounds like some sour grapes to me.....just my opinion, mind you....

Maybe I'm off on all that he has reported but I don't think he has reported anything all that great. His fought for the longest time against "there's no investigation" to it's "mostly track and WBB" to "old regime". It doesn't take much to make a 3 year-old investigation disprove that line.
