Keep in mind that other schools have gotten in trouble. They have rich boosters too, some much richer than Ole Miss's and have access to top notch lawyers. How many court fights have been won? Serious question. I doubt Ole Miss is going to be able to conjure up a new legal theory that hasn't been used before in other cases. <br /><br />The problem with the court battle you foresee coming is it gives the other side or sides the power of discovery as well. But you are right, this might get real ugly, as if it isn't ugly enough already.

Too many lawsuits are filed, discovery will begin, the NCAA controls the process for the most part. <br /><br />Ole Miss's damage control has been horrible. Bjork lied to the media for quite some time. He knew about Freeze's phone calls and then tried to make Farrar a scapegoat. <br /><br />I will agree with the Ole Miss supporters that many of the violations are penny ante stuff. Improper hype videos? Free lodging, food, and Ole Miss apparel? Violations but really serious violations? Probably not. <br /><br />From what i can tell, its the NCAA's allegations of Ole Miss coaches directing the boosters to provide benefits that is the real problem. Then there are the accusations of lying to the NCAA and covering up what might have taken place among the staff members. I suspect that is where the NCAA has painted the real target.

During this time depositions are going to be ongoing with Leo Lewis, Kobe Jones, Simmons in regard to Rebel Rags lawsuit.<br /><br />Once the second COI renders its' sanctions, 3 separate lawsuits are going to be filed in 2 different States' Federal court(s) against the NCAA, NCAA employee Mike Sheridan, MSU as an entity (MSU' President included), Head Coach Dan Mullen, an MSU assistant coach, MSU reporter Steve Robertson, a former MSU high level employee serving in another capacity at another SEC program and as well...a high level SEC employee in the SEC's Birmingham office. Sounds a bit complicated, but it is not as multiple suit targets are going to be named in each suit.<br /><br />The bottom-line is that this is not going away and the NCAA office, the SEC office, and MSU are not going to survive the collusion of all parties involved in the pursuit of Ole Miss as much as many would like to believe. While victory looks good presently to those individual parties, once the above named parties have to answer in a Federal environment, real US laws apply and real consequences are realized.<br /><br />This is far from over and there are going to be casualties on all fronts...on that you can be guaranteed.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-21159070051730519502017-08-28T10:35:01.686-05:002017-08-28T10:35:01.686-05:00Really?
