Are you ready for some arcane legal procedure talk? Because we are too.
The dust hasn’t fully settled on the NCAA investigation into Ole Miss’ nefarious recruiting practices. Certainly not those activities surrounding two former Rebel prospects, Leo Lewis and Kobe Jones, who are currently being sued for defamation and other sundry misdeeds by Oxford sports retailer Rebel Rags, which was cited by both Mississippi State signees as a one-stop-shop for free Rebel apparel on the promise that both prospects would sign with Ole Miss football.
Lewis and Jones didn’t sign with Ole Miss football — they signed with in-state rival Mississippi State — and to be sure they offered, um, “testimony” to NCAA investigators implicating the Oxford retailer as a central figure in the distribution of illicit collegiate inducements in the form of sweatshirts and sweatpants and whatnot.
