I hadn’t listened to Tony Basilios radio show in a while.
But, just tuned in and he is going rogue.
Says that all big time schools pay players.
Says we haven’t been doing so but must start doing it to compete with the big boys.
Also saying that Pruitt and Fulmer both want Hugh Freeze but have been told by Commissioner Sankey not to.
Basilio says many power people at UT want us to ignore Sankey and hire Freeze anyway.

I know many here hate Basilio and think he’s a joke.
But, I just found what he is saying today pretty interesting.

I hope that whether Pruitt/Fulmer reach out to Freeze is not dependent on what Sankey says. Last year would have been too soon but bringing Freeze in from the cold to an OC position is punishment enough for what he was reputedly doing. Whether our bagmen get more aggressive or not is a whole 'nother matter.

Sankey is just mad because Freeze was better in bed than him.

I honestly DGAF what Freeze was up to. They're coaches, not priests.

I would actually love to see us announce the hire and contract and say this is our OC and see what the SEC tries to do... They can't make us forfeit any games over this. And if it went to court suing the SEC because they were gonna forfeit our games, it would be tremendously bad looking for league office.

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.”
