It all sounded pretty damning from an NCAA standpoint. Former Ole Miss offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil appeared to admit Thursday night to taking money from Ole Miss staffers. After someone tried to destroy Tunsil, after he lost more in guaranteed money than most of us will make in a lifetime, Tunsil may have slipped and said something he shouldn't have.
Tunsil is entering a world in which it is O.K. for people to give him money for being good at football. He is leaving a world in which the compensation level is capped by the NCAA.
