As we move through these final weeks before the hearing keep in mind that this procedure is for all those named in the NOA, aside from the 2 who resolved their cases separately as cooperators. Indy is on lockdown, and any chatter that gets picked up has motivation.
My regular folks have largely quieted down, but the wild emails and texts are coming fast and furiously. There's a pretty obvious effort to muddy the the waters, with a certain not-so-tiny-Tim likely involved. Ono is bailing. Warde wants all the blame on Jim. Moore wants all the blame on Stalions.
When we first broke last July the "minimum framework" proposed by enforcement staff, the "minimum" designation seemed outlandish given what was being asked. It seems that reality is slowly setting in outside of the OSU / MSU/ Rocky Top circles that this wasn't some cute game of grabass Connor was playing with the rulebook. This was a well organized, well funded, and at least partially internally acknowledged multi-year cheating operation. It defies logic to think they won't be punished as such.
Lack of compliance. Lack of candor. Lack of cooperation.
“Deceitfulness, and arrogance, and pride, Quickness to anger, harsh and evil speech, And ignorance, to its own darkness blind. These be the signs, my prince! of him whose birth Is fated for the regions of the vile." - The Bhagavad Gita
