Yea, I'm gonna go look at that property cause we may be breaking a few rules here and there, but ain't no way I'm buying we're cheating.

No he's not, but keep on hating on him. I am guessing you guys that love to slam Tony are the types that love reading Hyams, Adams, and Mike freaking Griffith. Pathetic. He's about the only TN media guy that has any homerism for the Vols. The rest either post what UT or the Haslams tells them to or hate UT.

I like Russell Smith and the Drive on Fox Sports Knoxville for daily listening. I'm off an on with Basilio's daily show. But I do like Basilio's post game coverage because he brings in Tony Robinson and Jerry Colquitt. The only time I listen to 990 is pre-game and post-game up until Pruitt interviews. I never listen to their daily stuff.

According to this article, the issue isn't what he did at Ole Miss but him being employed by an SEC school while Ole Miss is still being penalized for things that occurred during his tenure.

What really happened between Hugh Freeze, Alabama and the SEC

It was only a few days after Saban's mid-January meeting with Freeze that he learned he couldn't make the hire. Sankey informed both Freeze and Alabama that it would look bad for the SEC for Freeze to be back coaching in the league while Ole Miss suffered from NCAA penalties incurred under his watch. The SEC preferred that Freeze, who resigned in July following a "pattern of personal misconduct," go off the radar for at least a little while before trying to return to work at one of its schools.

Another thing I have heard and read from Basilio lately is that if you read what Celina Summers wrote about Butch Jones in her book, there's no way anybody would hire him again. Does anyone know what book he is talking about?

The book is called Empowered, and its co-written by Tom Mattingly.

Here's what Basilio said in his blog today:
"SEC Commissioner after Pearl hired at Auburn now has a right of refusal on any hire within the league. The thought is that Greg Sankey won't approve the hire of Freeze within the league. Now, if that's the case, do you rock the boat."

Things we know about paying players. When Kiffin left the NCAA was looking hard at UT, partially due to Kiffin turning over info to them. Dooley was brought in for one reason, he ran a clean program. UT was worried we would receive the death sentence over Kiffin. A former Dooley staffer reported being in Dooley’s office when Bruce Brown walked in and asked if he would still be getting the weekly pay he had set up with Kiffin. Dooley told him UT won’t be doing those kind of things under his watch. Brown quit shortly after. Our recruiting dropped off significantly under Dooley, in part due to him trying to put a stop to players being paid.

Butch continued this trend. His good recruiting was based on legacy recruits doing a majority of the footwork. Also his numbers were propped up by a lot of 3* recruits. These guys normally aren’t paid. This may explain why his recruiting dropped off.

At most schools boosters are the people paying players. Coaches turn a blind eye to it and in most cases introduce the players to the boosters knowing what will happen. With all the Haslam issues with the athletic department dating back to last year it wouldn’t surprise me if he has cut off pay to UT players.

Everyone is cheating and 9/11 was an inside proof. Gotta love people who talk about all the cheating so matter of fact like... With zero evidence.

Every single major team is cheating. But I have zero concrete proof.

"But it just makes sense!"

I think any credible mentioning of paying players should not be discussed here. Even speculation should be reserved for rivals and even if it's bullisht the company line for us on here should remain we don't pay players.

According to the NCAA hearing officer, Freeze didn't personally commit any violations but failed in monitoring his assistants so why is there any issue?

https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/o...-hugh-freeze-got-one-year-show-cause-penalty/

Greg Christopher, Xavier’s athletic director and the chief hearing officer for the Ole Miss case, said the committee felt Freeze simply didn’t know his assistants were committing the violations:

“A lot of people will throw head coach responsibility into one big bucket. But a lot of times people don’t step out and realize there are two prongs to the head coach responsibility,” Christopher said. “There’s failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance and there’s failure to monitor.”

Since the committee didn’t feel as if Freeze was willfully ignoring the violations, he didn’t receive as severe of a punishment as others. But, Christopher added, the NCAA committee still wanted to send a message with the penalty:

“He did not meet the obligation in monitoring the assistant coaches and the boosters,” Christopher said. “I think by looking at both aspects of head coach responsibility you get to how we tailored the penalty.”

Urban Meyer sure does “monitor his assistants”. Disregard his OC’s wife’s black eye.

If we do not hire Freeze, and Auburn does, we can throw away the SEC says “no” argument

Don’t underestimate the power Sankey’s office has. We’ve all cringed when we see certain referee crews at games. To think the league office also can tell schools who they can hire, should concern all member institutions (save one).

Except the SEC isn't a company, it's an association and it's members cannot collude to blackball an individual from employment.

I don’t think the member institutions collude. They are simply held hostage by the corrupt league office which does the unofficial blackballing and shot-calling.
