Ole Miss’ notice of allegations response spurs defamation suit against 3 individuals

Ole Miss last week released the university’s response to February’s expanded Notice of Allegations from the NCAA, and the 125-page document addresses a litany of improper benefits allegedly funneled through a nefarious “Booster 8,” now known to be the Rebel-branded clothing retailer Rebel Rags in Oxford.

The university’s NOA response reveals that the NCAA is alleging upwards of $2,800 worth of gear went to Leo Lewis, Kobe Jones, and Laremy Tunsil’s estranged stepfather Lindsey Miller during the scope of the NCAA’s investigation. Rebel Rags’ suit charges that the “Defendant’s actions have and will continue to cause the Plaintiff financial damage,” insofar as Lewis, Jones, and Miller all claim to have received free gear.
