Neal claiming to have sources is a joke. Not a soul at Ole Miss would talk to him.

Well here is the deal.  this was supposed to be a 3 day hearing.  Leo spent more time than expected in front of the panel than originally thought. That is not a good thing for a guy like Leo IMO.  the more someone like LL talks, the more trouble he makes for himself.  

So to only spend about half the total time expected during the hearing and the heavy stuff for Ole Miss was supposed to come the next day in which they handled by yesterday afternoon, it just feels like a good thing.  Honestly, it sucks having to wait up to 2 months to find out what the deal is, But I will say it feels like a good thing to finish early shortly after lewis is finished and OM checks out shortly after.  Hypothetically, after the LEO testimony, if he is found to be full of crap and Ole Miss had information that backs up their side, i could see the COI could say the second LOI is crap and the 1 LOI which had already been dealt with and self penalized for could hold a lot more weight.  

I will say, the longer this draws out the less that scenario may be true.  If it was found LEO lied and nothing or little outside of the first LOI could be proven, then there is no reason to drag an already 5 yr investigation out another 2 months.  within 2 weeks i would hope we get the verdict. the closer to the 6-8 weeks we wait the more I think that is a bad thing.  UNless that is purely procedural and the outcome is known but not made public until then..

either way, this entire process is crap and the NCAA sucks.  At least the enforcement staff does. Bigly 

I hope they discovered Leo was lying and they burn his and MS Stars'  ass for paying him to play.  I'd love for us to be able to say, Bye Leo!

I have heard much the same today.  LL is screwed either way when you think about it.  If he "forgets" who gave him the money he's immediately ineligible.  If he says it was the lawyer, RR or anyone else he's getting his butt sued.   My guess is we won't know anything until after the season and he declares for the NFL.  That alleviates the NCAA from having to address his eligibility or immunity issues, they agree to what we have self imposed and we move on.  Forde hinted that the announcement would not be until after the Egg Bowl.  That makes sense bc their lunatic fans may be ready to bomb their own stadium if the end of Ole Miss in their eyes doesn't pan out like Rosebowl has prophesied.  Pure speculation on my part to be clear.  

I thought I read where he redshirted the first season making him a rs sophomore and eligible for the draft.
I honestly don't know. I don't keep up with themthat closely.
