Disclaimer: All of this is random speculation on my part. Feel free to rip this thread to shreds.
From the thread about the 5-star recruits I copy and paste the following:
Ole Miss broke out the checkbook this year to get what...3 of em?
Of the top 300 recruits, 35 went to the entire Big XII. 10 went to Ole Miss.
Why in the hell would any top recruit sign with Ole Miss? Yet they got 2 of the top 5 and 3 of the top 20? No ****ing way that is legit.
yep, i smell death penalty too
This situation begs the question, is the Ole Miss coach really that good of a recruiter or . . .
Now you would think that coaches from other schools would be screaming bloody murder at the signing day results. Just refer back to when Cam Newton settled on Auburn if you don't think they would.
It appears to this fan the boosters stepped in and some bags of cash have exchanged hands, yet no one is calling this one what it looks like and I think there's a reason.
For years the NCAA has been after certain schools to get on the politically correct bandwagon when it comes to things like mascots. Ole Miss was one of the holdouts, what with waving of a huge rebel flag at games and being represented by an old white guy referred to as Colonel Reb. However, in 2010 the school came around and switched mascots, going against the students' choice (a character from Star Wars) and ultimately choosing a black bear. There have been a couple of other PC things happening there including crowning an African American girl homecoming queen.
So, it could be that in exchange for doing the bidding of the NCAA the Ole Miss football program has been given the green light to get away with one or two or three, whatever. Most of you will scoff at this but think back, way back. I think most of you believe the NCAA punished Oklahoma for forcing their hand at getting them to relinquish control of college football television rights, right? Well then, by that reasoning, you can't have a Hell unless you have a Heaven. If the NCAA punishes what in their eyes is bad behavior, would they not reward good behavior? And of course, Ole Miss is in the most influential conference as well. Letting them get away with something other schools are routinely sanctioned for does not seem so far-fetched does it? Well?
