Anyone else notice in this article that Lewis was asked if Ole Miss ever provided a lady for him? Could this be connected to freeze and the escorts?

Either that or Godfrey just made it up to make a point that, nosiree, Ole Miss is not supplying ladies for recruits. The only place the information could have come from for this story is for someone to invite Godfrey to a restricted web site. It can't be copied and pasted. It can't be forwarded. It is available only on a password protected website. So the same people who have lied to their fan base for over 19 months solid have once again provided information. Can it really be trusted?

ETA -BamaGoose @BamaGoose525 Y'all I have learned OM got played for less than 10k$ so Leo could turn down 650k$ from LSU and 80k$ from State. Weird world we live in pic.twitter.com/GrJu9J2EDu

I don't see how State can play Leo Lewis this year. He has immunity but the school does not. Since he said that he received money from Ole Miss and State, I think State would have to forfeit any game he plays in.

From what I've read here it looks like the NCAA has already closed the case on MSU:
Counsel representing Ole Miss is now alleging NCAA enforcement opened and then closed a case into Mississippi State based on Lewis’ interviews with the NCAA, citing a lack of credibility.

This part in particular makes me think MSU is in the clear:
But the NCAA isn’t a court of law. The two sides don’t have subpoena power, and the enforcement staff is within the guidelines of its bylaws to withhold any information from another investigation into another member institution, even if evidence gathered there could impact a trial or another active investigation.

I'm betting part of the immunity granted was a wink-and-nod to MSU that anything Lewis testified to would be swept under the rug. They want OM.
 
This is like Rich Johanningmeyer telling anyone in earshot that he wasn't interested in T Martin. He was looking to get Alabama.
 
They better be marking Ole Miss that way----the last time they were sanctioned they lost 24 scholarships over two years. They were allowed two classes of 13 in 1995 and 1996. They brought in 26 freshmen one year and 34 the next with walk-ons like Joe Gunn and Rufus French. They never stopped and they won't this time either; and that was with an outsider as a brand new coach. The boosters ran it then and they still do.
 
Listened to the Freezing Cold Takes podcast with Dan Wolken this morning. Was jokingly asked "Why do you have a personal vendetta on Ole Miss?" Dan replied, "From the very beginning of Hugh Freeze's tenure... let's just say I was less than convinced that he was the person that he purported himself to be. I had a lot of reasons to think that way."

Dan Wolken worked for the Memphis Commercial Appeal from 2006-2010.

I have a question about the civil suit brought against Lewis by Rebel Rags. If after the Sept 11 hearing, and in the NCAA's final report (or whatever they do at the end of this) they conclude that Rebel Rags DID indeed provide clothing to Lewis and others, will that help Lewis in defending the civil suit? I don't practice civil litigation so I don't claim to know much about it. I would think it would be a good defense for Lewis if his claims are substantiated?
 
Can his proof in the NCAA hearing possibly not meet the criteria to be considered "legal" proof? As in, it's good enough for the NCAA, just not good enough for a court?
 
Belle, see if you can find a copy of Judge Steve Wilson's record of the Ronnie Cottrell / Ivy Williams vs. the NCAA and Tom Culpepper, A Lynch Mob Mentality. I re-read it this week just for this purpose. It would bolster Lewis's position but I don't think it will matter one way or the other.

Terry Warren and Rebel Rags have about as much of a chance of winning in a "real" court of law as I do flying to the moon. It is a sideshow distraction created by Terry Warren and Charlie Merckle at the bequest of Barney Farrar much like Tommy Gallion's sideshow at the suggestion of Logan Young while using Ronnie Cottrell for cover. The Rebel Rags suit claims “defamation, slander, conspiracy (sounds familiar) and commercial disparagement stemming from false statements made to the NCAA and have since been published in the (university’s response to the) notice of allegations.” The only chance they have of proving any of that is if they happen to draw one of Dickie Scrugg's store bought judges. The whole suit is a nine-legged stool with all the weight evenly distributed. Every point depends on the other 8. If any one point is disproved, the entire theory collapses.

The real reason behind the suit is that Rebel Rags is fighting against being disassociated. And since there is no one in the administration to stand up, they kinda put their heads together with other boosters to see what they should do next to show their disdain for the NCAA. A lot of North Mississippi chatter that some of the administration used one of Warren's planes to fly to the SEC summer meetings this year, a very real thumbing of their nose at the NCAA. It is really a mess.
