Ole Miss issued its first response to the NCAA’s updated Notice of Allegations from last February, and very little has changed. The university is standing hard by head football coach Hugh Freeze, while seeking show-causes against former coaches and staffers, including Chris Kiffin and Barney Farrar.
But that’s not what we’re here to discuss. We’re here to talk about Leo Lewis, who features prominently throughout the middle of the document, and his claims of having received upwards of $10,000 from a Rebel booster. The university vehemently denies Lewis’ account, citing his contradictory statements to investigators and from his own family.
