Miss State's Leo Lewis reportedly told NCAA he received money

[Jamos]

Lewis, currently a starting linebacker at Mississippi State, told the NCAA he and his mother received cash and gifts from Ole Miss boosters, with his allegations forming the backbone of the ongoing infractions case against the Rebels.

This article is one more example of what is going on in the college world of football. All of the things that have been printed about the Ole Miss case seems unreal as to what Bama went through in the Albert Means case that Bama got busted. Now, Lewis at Miss State, makes it sound so easy for these players to do this stuff with no worry about any repercussions and you can add his mother in there as well.

I worry about any player we recruit from Mississippi as well as any players from any other State that Ole Miss or Miss State is after because it looks like money is or has been part of their recruiting.

Amazing, and remember he originally committed to Alabama. He is walking trouble.

However, the stories published Friday cite documents from Ole Miss attorneys, which allege that Lewis also told the NCAA that he received thousands of dollars from another SEC school, alleged to be Mississippi State. Lewis received limited immunity from the NCAA for his testimony, but that immunity only protects him, not MSU.

Lordy, money is ruining sports totally. It use to be in the spirit of competition but now it is how much can I make from the kids up? Sad day. RTR!

SMU never really recovered from the death penalty and I've read a few things that said because of that, the NCAA is likely to never issue it again. They may be re-thinking that with Ole Miss. Of course, the NCAA isn't the organization it used to be, either, so it's going to be interesting to see how all this ends up.

I don't believe they will be punished as bad as we were. RTR!

"For the LOVE of money is....."   It's not the money that's the problem, it's the love of it!

Now some of these folks who are craving $$$ do really need it.

Good point. If Ole Miss doesn't get the death penalty for something like 17-21 major violations, then no one will ever get it.

In the ESPN 30 for 30 on SMU named "The Pony Express" the media they interviewed said the NCAA would most likely never give the death penalty again. SMU has never fully recovered and it has been 30 years.

The NCAA also quit giving teams no TV games as punishment. I believe Auburn in the early 90's was the last TV ban. That hurt the opposing team and conference revenues. They seem to have settled on serious recruiting restrictions, reduced scholarships and bowl bans which I think is bad enough. They also give coaches "show cause" which means they are almost unhireable. The only "show cause" coach I know of to be hired is Bruce Pearl at Auburn.

Plus the NCAA vacates wins which kill the reason for cheating. I think that hurts the fans a lot.

INHO...vacated wins don't hit very hard unless you take away a conf or nat'l championship.  And even that won't alter the memories of the fans as to what happened on the field.

One way of really punishing schools would be to fine them.  Even if a school is banned from a bowl, another school from the conf will take its place and the banned school will share in the conf bowl payout $$$.  Take away the shared bowl $$$ from the offending school and you would begin to get the attention of the AD and the school Pres.
