Per Wardlaw, Stricklins statement...

[BigMotherTucker]

<div id="post_message_179968">“During the recruitment of a football prospective student-athlete, Mississippi State was approached with an offer to provide an extra benefit. This offer was refused.

"MSU alerted the Southeastern Conference about the offer. MSU did not have any specific incriminating information about any other school, and thus could not provide any.

"As Commissioner Slive mentioned today, the SEC is not an investigative body. MSU has cooperated fully and completely with the NCAA from the time it began asking for our assistance, and looks forward to providing any and all help in this ongoing investigation.”

It's still Auburn's problem in that their star player might have committeda major violation (throughpops) and be declared ineligible, causing them to forfeit their magical season.

SS just answered every question and refuted that ******* Slive.

Good response on our part.

 

[EAVdog]

Short, concise, and hit all points. A good lesson to anyone who is thinking about ever writing angry emails!

 

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

Short, succinct and to the point.

It says what happened, how MSU responded and, even though a POS like Slive is incriminating us in the court of public opinion, we are cooperating fully with the investigation.

As Commissioner Slive mentioned today, the SEC is not an investigative body. </p>

Nice job Stricklin. I love how he specifically mentions Slive, as if to say, "Yeah, we saw that ******** you said about us earlier. Stick it up your ***."

"I knew that SEC won't do **** with the information we provided"

So the NCAA came to us, we did not go to them as Slive insinuated.
