It's probably a longshot, but I keep wondering if Kevin Sumlin is going to either follow Manziel to an NFL job (not specifically to Manziel's team) or try to take over Notre Dame if Brian Kelly were to go to the NFL.

I don't see Sumlin being at A&M long term.

Sumlin's gone after this year. His dream job is USC, and Kiffin is dead man walking. If Kiffin somehow manages to hang on, he'll bolt to the NFL. Think about it. Either of two things will happen this year. Aggy kicks ass with Johnny Handcramp, and Sumlin is smart enough to know that the agtards will blame him when he can't do it on his own. Or, aggy shits the bed this season, and the agtards turn on him a year early.

Seriously, would you stay?

The NCAA's arbitrary rulings aren't limited to the SEC. Remember how little sense it made when tattoo-gate first blew up and the NCAA decided that the suspensions didn't need to be imposed until the following season? Regardless of those suspensions being much more severe than 1 half of football, they are another example of the NCAA making rules up as they go to ensure they make the most money, regardless of the teams. I know there were arguments about not punishing the bowl game and tv network for the mistakes of players, but this is where you end up when those become part of the criteria.

If I recall correctly, someone -- maybe Yahoo -- requested all of the emails regarding expansion through FOIA, but it was an OSU employee who found the emails (while gathering them to comply with the request) and turned them over them to the compliance department.

yeah, but Ohio State is the one that found the messages. Reporters weren't searching through the email server for them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that we should pull an SEC and deny/cover up, but it wouldn't have been that hard. I think the Tat 5 were screwed just due to the Federal Investigation into the tatoo shop. As far as I know the only evidence that JT knew ahead of time was the email string with the attorney who blew the whistle along with emails to Pryor's handlers in PA. Those could have been wiped from the email server.


...in short, JT should have used his Gmail account or coached at Notre Dame or Da U where FOI requests don't apply.

No, an Ohio State grad student doing an unrelated e-mail database search uncovered them and notified GS who notified Gee (only proper thing he's ever done in his life). We turned ourselves into the NCAA (that's why it was FTM and not LOIC). All yahoo did was "break" a story that was already in motion and would have been announced to the public anyways. They sped the timetable up is all.

As for whether the argument that JT did that to protect some FBI investigation (which I don't buy), the answer was simply it wasn't his fucking call to make. He didn't run the AD much less the university, and it was his job to pass that upstairs and let Gordon Gee and the university lawyers contact the FBI. Nobody has ever contended that he needed to hold some press conference the next day to disclose the e-mails.
