See Veazey's blog. MSU pretty much says what most of us have already said.

But Veazey is still hot on the case.

Before every official visit, university policy is reviewed with our student athletes. Following the visits, we review all activities to make sure all visits are in compliance with university, SEC and NCAA policies.</p>

It has been brought to our attention that an activity - outside the approved itinerary and certainly without the approval or consent of our coaches or athletic department - may have occurred last weekend. Our athletic director, compliance office and coaching staff were all immediately made aware of the possible incident, and we are reviewing the facts at this time.</p>

As always, if it is determined that a violation of official visit policy has transpired, we will take appropriate action. At this time, however, it appears that this is an isolated incident involving only a small number of individuals</p>

The Pony and will continue to make regular trips there until he's gotten to the bottom of this earth moving story. The dedication to his job and sacrifices the Veaz will make to get to the truth knows no bounds.

depending on how good/bad this is, we could go from no involvement/punishment to some kind of self wrist slapping punishment to dropping these kids recruitment.

Why in the hell would we drop recruitment for something that isn't even an NCAA violation? At most, and I mean this would be stretching it, the NCAA could give us a wrist slap for not following our own policies but that would really only be if the University was involved and made no attempt to rectify the situation.

Why do people want to blow this into such a big deal?

It's clear why Ole Miss fans would want to blow this up. The MSU fans apparently have been under the mistaken impression that UM got in trouble for recruits going to strip clubs. This is somethingn of a black eye, but I'm pretty confident that other than football players, nobody connected to the athletic department would have been involved with this; schools just aren't that stupid anymore.

....he's doing his job. Gene doesn't sign his check. His job is to report the news that's out there. He's not our cheerleader. And, as much as we all hate to admit it and don't want it to be, it's news.

The only people that I blame for this are:

1.) The morons that put it on facebook
2.) The people that organized the trip (if it did happen)

And trust me, it IS a serious violation IF the coaches or any University employee was aware. One of the worst things about this is that it involves a current coach's son. This also occurred during an official visit.

Also, it is stated within MSU's own recruiting policy that adult entertainment is not allowed therefore it is an NCAA violation.

I do not know what the facts of the case are (nor am I pretending to know) but let Veazey do his job and STOP finger pointing.
This is no witch hunt. If something like this did happen, the people that were dumb enough to put it on facebook are the one to blame.

Why no mention of where these pictures first showed up? I think the fact that they were being publicized by the OM Spirit Board is crucial to this story. It's just way too easy to photoshop images these days, way way too easy. Why 3 kids who are already commits, and nobody else. We're supposed to believe they all just nearly simultaneously updated their Facebook status Sunday on the way home to reference a trip to the Pony? And by Monday these 'screengrabs' were on the OM Spirit website!!!! Really, and we're all being the dutiful MSU fans and kicking ourselves asking how much trouble we'll be in.

I think the Athletic Dept had to say something, but notice they will not confirm anything.... call me conspiratorial but I'm not buying this story right now. Maybe it's true, I'll wait until the Athletic Dept verifies it one way or the other.

Since I think it involves players that we aren't fighting for?

I mean if it was Thompson, Sanders and Robinson, doesn't that put more credibility to the black helicopters theory.

This is just a kid thinking that facebook is private. Its not, its on the internets.

People get fired for what they post on facebook, which sounds stupid, but that is just the way the world works now a days.

Please point to the NCAA rule that says this is a "serious violation". I bet you can't, because you are full of ****. As I said in the original post the NCAA does have the right to ding us for breaking our own policies but that is unlikely given the school didn't set it up and they are trying to rectify the problem. Again, just another person trying to blow this out of proportion.

Let's try the story this way, "some adults went to a perfectly legal business and then came home". Kinda loses all it's spice that way doesn't it. Slight embarrassment is the worst that will come of this. And for me, lots and lots of laughs as I find the whole thing (sans the stupid *** fans freaking out) hilarious.

I say "we" b/c i'm sure my post fostered your idea to facebook him. I should have said something like "To anyone who knows this guy, does he realize he just made himself an cyber bullseye?" I guess it can justified that he deserves if for being such a creepy college football fan. Maybe future middle aged creeps will think twice before facebook stalking HS boys and taking screenshots of their profiles.

I wonder if HD6 is ever going to follow through on the "new rule" tagged at the top of the page.

to remove the contact option. I just happened to notice it when I flipped back to the tab I left open. Judging by the name change and removing the contact I'm thinking this is the cat.

Internet stalking is a ***** when it's happening to you eh Richard?

Good meaning logical and not biased.

Just a guess here - this will probably serve as a short-term black eye for MSU, but it's doubtful there is a pattern of State hosts taking kids to The Pony or any other strip club… because surely some other teenager would have Facebooked, Tweeted or MySpaced about their eye-opening recruiting trip to Starkville.

Best guess, the host will lose his job as a host. Just as the hostesses in Tennessee's recent scandal lost theirs.
