When the hammer finally drops

I was thinking....
The most famous engagement of the 5 year investigation was at RR's Charge during the Battle of Defamation , when the Confederates made a desperate frontal assault on the NCAA entrenchments atop Cemetery Ridge. The Greys penetrated further into the NCAA position than any other unit, but at the terrible cost of sustaining 100% casualties—every soldier was either killed or wounded.

I need more Foxy Rebs to give this. But, I guess our ilk claimed them all some time ago & will do so again.
I see nothing has changed there with the CL. I dropped it after I had enough of the Rebel bias when I still lived in Starkville.
It's a damn shame that a newspaper is so nutless about a sports program.
Actually, it is shameful that they have not given this the coverage it deserves.
Then again, the media in general has become piss poor and one sided to the point I never watch or read the news more than a glance.
Let me go ahead and prepare you for the inevitable. The hammer will not be dropped. The Cam situation seemed like a slam dunk. Hell there is still an infamous post from a Bama insider that staked his entire reputation on Auburn getting smoked. It didn't happen. So when Ole Miss is still standing from the wrist slap it gets. Don't get disappointed, just say **** it and pay your local talented OT whatever the **** he wants and we'll continue to not rue any days.
I suggest that you go back and read the amended notice of allegations aGAIN. There was never a notice of allegations in the Cam situation. To compare the two is laughable. This is the longest laundry list of allegations that the NCAA has ever presented to an athletic program. It's gonna get ugly there.
If there is one thing the NCAA hates it's academic fraud. The second thing they hate is being lied to.
Ole Miss has admitted that their coaching staff paid someone to fake ACT scores for multiple athletes for the sole purpose of getting them eligible to play football. NCAA does not care that it was several years ago. It happened and it's gonna get the hammer.
If we had been caught doing this everyone on this board would be predicting the death penalty for us. We'd say we should just give the NCAA their pound of flesh, fire everyone, and start over.

I don't care if they feature a photo of Freeze on the front page in handcuffs being led out of the Lyceum to an awaiting squad car. We need to remember that when the CL had a chance to do some probing and prodding, they deferred to no questions "interviews" with Ole Miss admins and writing columns that said "nothing to see here." That rag needs to go the way of so many despicable, unreliable, and corrupt organizations, straight into the trash bin of history.
Did that come from OleHottyToddy.com? Or Jim Shute?
Speaking of... whenever I see Shute, I think of Dwight Schrute.

This is incorrect.
The NCAA did investigate and determined that Cam's dad acted without his knowledge and therefore didn't impact his eligibility. They let them off using that loophole, and then closed the loophole. It was a crappy ruling, but to say the NCAA didn't investigate the situation at all is wrong.

They outright admitted to 14 of the 21 allegations, with seven of them being Level 1. No other program in NCAA history has even had 7 Level 1 allegations levied against it in an investigation. This will not be a slap on the wrist. It may not be as bad as many of us think, but a slap is not happening.
Well, if I recollect, this is when Slive used to handles things all in house. The quick "investigation" you refer to seemed to happen in the late season surprise... just as it was clear that Auburn was going to be in the NC.
In a sudden announcement, Slive suspended Cam - an investigation revealed that CAM "didn't know nothin", then the suspension was lifted... all in the same evening, early morning.
Not sure when the NCAA actually investigated it, but the fact that it became public at all is why Slive let us take a public hit on that, even though it was obvious we weren't the ones that cheated.
I'm so glad that peckerhead is gone. Umiss certainly rueing the day that Slive retired for sure.

I'm just trying to keep the Indians on our side. I haven't seen this much confidence in something since the South Alabama game.
What I hope is that it is SO BAD an adult film company makes a spoof film about the "Reaming of Ole Miss"
Sooner or later the national press will take note of the happenings in Oxford. What is well known in the region radiating from Oxford is generally unknown nation wide. If the CL prints too much in contradiction to the national press, the CL will put its existence at risk. To protect its interest, the CL will have to stand down and lower its profile and defer to the outside press, like The Dallas Morning News and The New York Times, once this thing heats up from a national perspective.
Not to stray too far from the Ole Miss situation, I would like to give an example of newspapers being one upped. The Los Angeles Times has had primarily Midwest Chicagoan type people and UCLA homer sports writers during the Pete Carroll tenure at USC. They saw their beloved Notre Dame and UCLA get destroyed and had to put up with it. When the Todd McNair lawsuit relating to Reggie Bush slowly evolved, the LA Times did not report much on McNair"s momentum. The NCAA motioned to seal their in house documentation which will eventually vindicate McNair and probably Bush once the NCAA members are put on the stand. The New York Times and not the LA Times filed counter motions, in California, to insure the public gets access to the documentation. Out of embarrassment, the LA Times had to join into that motion?

"C.L. Learns of NCAA investigation: OM self reports and imposes record sanctions"
Let me prepare you: no amount of explaining how you were just being a realist will cover for the fact that you were too weak minded to call a spade a spade. And don't come back with some **** about 30 plus scholarships being a slap on the wrist.
You just defined a new level of 17ing denial.
sCamgate also occurred during Auburn's run to the BCSNCG against Oregon which Auburn won. OM has no such luck.
Oh, we will be rue-ing! Just don't, just don't you rue-ry about that!
