Andrew Beaton, the author of the story says the coaches polled were current staff from all sports(link shortly)---the only people they had power over to demand they fill it out. Bjork is still spinning and until they quit the NCAA will just continue to allow them to hang themselves.Quote - In August, University of Mississippi athletic director Ross Bjork assembled the football team’s coaching staff in a meeting room. He handed out a form that asked the coaches to disclose whether they had used personal phones, including “prepaid phones, pay as you go, burner, etc.” for recruiting or any other work-related purpose....
...Of the 29 people who filled it out, the school says, none reported using a burner, prepaid or pay-as-you-go phone during their time at Ole Miss.
They still can't quit lying --- even when they know the burner phones were not not destroyed.
But to be fair, only a handful of the people on the list who utilized the phones were still employed there in August.
Their coach was willing to risk his job with a university phone for chicks. It tracks.I wonder why they would choose Ole Miss.
And right on the heels of ESPN hedging their bets in 2020-----Chick Fil A Louisville vs Ole Miss in kickoff game in Atlanta in 2021 ......

I wonder why they would choose Ole Miss. SMH
Maybe they will get double secret probation.Now that all the talking is over...
It's time for the NCAA to put up or shut up.
I wonder whether they have the stones to do what is required.
We will see...
It's not a question of if OM gets hammered, it's more like how hard, and for how long.
(Sounds like ANIMAL HOUSE...) There are other similarities too.
If the punishment is only a symbolic tough penalty...
The NCAA will have lost this game and future ones also.
IMO: OM want get the DEATH PENALTY, but it will have to be something stiff enough to discourage further cheating.
(Make an example out of them...)
interesting
’m interested in the 29 number. It says Ole Miss “distributed the phone declaration form to the football staff,” that 29 people filled it out, and that all said they never used another phone.First off – this is like a professor asking the class if anyone cheated on the test. If you say yes, you fail. That’s ridiculous to ask the current staff if they are using burner phones because if they answer “yes” then they’re likely to be fired right then and there.
There are only 10 coaches that can contract recruits from a school. But Ole Miss felt the need to get 29 members of the football staff to fill this out.
The glaring issue here is the 29 names does not include former staff members, from what I read in the story. That means it does not include people like Hugh Freeze, Barney Farrar, Chris Kiffin, and others that were named in the alleged NCAA violations. I asked Andrew on the podcast about the 29 number, and about the form.
It does; Ole Miss just has plenty of rock drills and high explosives.Rock bottom doesn't seem to exist in Oxford.
Yes and the feathers on his chin are evidence that the fox was guarding the hen house...Yes---but----Ole Miss now has "evidence" that they do, in fact, monitor their staff's use of phones and that evidence can be used in their favor regardless of the inane nature of their monitoring activity. Just like ISO in the business world----can you prove you monitored? Too bad you burned down a thousand square miles-----but you were technically "in compliance" so it's OK.
How I hate people who are all about CYA with no integrity. That is Ross Bjork in a nutshell. No intent to do things right (his bosses/boosters won't let him) but intent on covering his rear while the all of LaFayette County burns down around him.

Somewhere probably after that, because I’ve heard that the committee is not going to release the findings before the game for the safety of everyone.”
Especially for him to be saying it. He was one of their strongest defenders for months.This sounds really bad for Ole Miss...

This will be fun to follow for ideas about how the new matrix is being applied--------
