Submitted by HelloHeisman91 on

Laremy Tunsil asked if he took money from a coach. "I'd have to say yeah."

How can his Agent just leave him out there?  He was clearly flustered, sweating, and the reporters were continuing to push him.  The agent needed to come in and shut it down 5 questions before he was ever asked about taking money.

Here is the video:

The quote in question comes around 2:50. I honestly feel bad for him. He seems like a good guy and it sucks that he's going to get so much hate for telling the truth. Also he obviously has some shitty friends/family members. 

The most puzzling thing is that his agent apparently didn't give him any instructions on how to handle these types of questions. He should have declined to comment on anything relating to the recent Twitter/Insta stuff.

Edit: not really sure how to embed on this 1999 ass forum, and I'm not gonna figure out how.

You can bet the NCAA will quickly reverse it's sat camp decision back to banning it just to try and divert attention away to the slimy cheating SEC story.

Sky is blue. Water is wet. Cardale didn't go to OSU to play school.

What else is new? Ole Miss will put itself on probation, cut back six schollies over 3 years, and the NCAA will just shrug it's shoulders and be like "ok."

But remember, Hugh Freeze just loves his family. I actually get that the money he asked for was to pay his mom's bills, and if that is true I am not outraged as much as, say, for buying drugs or something. But at the same time, the fact that the NCAA keeps trotting out amateurism while a prominent program with multiple violations of rules is punished less severely and got less media attention than UM under RR or Harbaugh trying to recruit drives me crazy.

So, why aren't the Ole Miss Bagmen the ones taking care of this kind of thing?  Make them do their job.

Freeze really is getting lazy.

But I do not blame Tunsil or Treadwell even a litle. If I were a 5-star prospect, I wouldn't have to ask for money-- because I'd be getting regular sacks of cash delivered to me.

In light of this new information, I'm sure the NCAA will somehow find a way to swiftly and harshly punish the Ole Miss Women's basketball team. A la UNC.

that bothers me most, isn't necessarily the fact that Ole Miss did this, but rather the FIFA like corruption that is in the governing body of my favorite sport to follow. The sad thing to me is that if this kind of news came from a player from Michigan, or Northwestern.....or any non-southern school it seems. The NCAA would be at the front steps of the school announcing an infractions investigation the next morning. NCAA is a complete joke

This won't affect Miss other than to be embarassing.

In order to prosecute this, the NCAA will need Tunsil's cooperation, which is highly unlikely to occur.

Even though everyone and their mother heard him admit he took money, it likely won't matter unless the school voluntarily presents a statement of guilt in some form.

most everyone EXCEPT THE NCAA knows whats going on in the SEC and still does absolutely NOTHING which tells me collusion between the two..I really wish the DOJ would get involved as they were about to do in the satellite ban case. The NCAA capitulation probably means they were afraid of the DOJ getting involved and uncovering all the collusion and corruption....can you say FIFA?
