Strange Reporting From HottyGodfrey

[MagnificentBastard]

Apparently on a humid day in February 2016 Jeffery Simmons took time out of his schedule to call the NCAA hotline and inform them that he did not get any free merchandise from Rebel Rags

From the Article:Neither Simmons nor Jones was interviewed by Sheridan or any NCAA staffer working directly on the Ole Miss case, but by Aaron Hernandez, a member of the NCAA’s Enforcement Development staff.The Development staff works as an open tip line for schools, athletes, or anyone else to contact the NCAA about potential violations. In other words, it’s possible that Jones and Simmons’ statements were volunteered to the NCAA, not requested.
Simmons was a five-star recruit and the consensus top 2016 prospect in Mississippi. He denied receiving free merchandise from Rebel Rags.

And by the way, any objective reporter would have released the entire transcript along with the article. Makes you wonder whats in there that doesn't fit the HottyGodfrey narrative?

It sure appears the Ole Miss administration has just said 17 it, were done but

were gonna go out in a blaze of glory. Good luck with that boys. The NCAA scrutinized us on Leo Lewis, they had ton's of evidence on you and could not find credible evidence on MSU. It is what it is.

I'm guessing it's more, "we'd like to be able to use immunity in the future, and we can't do that if we go after MSU". I'm sure if it had happened in isolation, they would have no problem going after us based on what info they have.

The main reason the Bears think the NCAA is outdated and inept is because they can't buy a favorable ruling from a judge who's an alumni.

Looks like he forgot something....

Let me add a sentence:
In other words, it’s possible that Jones and Simmons’ statements were volunteered to the NCAA, not requested. However, that's just a possibility.

Do they not get there's a tip line and that the credible sources said some of these accusations came from the tip line via non-MSU sources? I can probably answer my own question: yes, but that doesn't fit the narrative.

Yep.

They did a token investigation into us/Leo, but didn't dig too deep, IMO. Nailing us after letting Leo do the immunity interviews would not be good business for then NCAA enforcement staff, because no other school would ever go for it again.
