The text message conversations between former Ole Miss tackle Laremy Tunsil and a school athletics official published to Tunsil’s Instagram account the night of the NFL Draft did take place, according to a report from ESPN’s Outside the Lines.
The report says “Ole Miss officials determined” the conversations, which showed Tunsil asking Ole Miss assistant athletic director John Miller for money, are legitimate. However, the school “is still looking into whether the messages were altered before they were published,” the report says.
Certain texts from February 2015 showed Tunsil asking Miller for help paying his rent. Miller responds by telling Tunsil to “see Barney next week,” apparently in reference to Ole Miss assistant athletic director for high school and junior college relations Barney Farrar. Other messages from April 2015 show Tunsil asking Miller for assistance paying his mother’s $305 light bill.
“Wow, for one month??? I thought we all agreed on an amt- that number keeps changing. Someone needs to explain exact cost- I have no way of handling surprise amounts,” Miller says in a series of messages.

That one about the $305 light bill sounds genuine to me...the response from Miller, that is.

(65,042 posts)The kid got a few bucks for an electric bill for his mom, but big time college coaches are paid more than 30 professors combined and a kid asking for a few bucks shows horrendous character? That's just stupid!
These kids aren't even allowed to have a part time job during the season, and the stupid season is 7 months long. So, kids from economically stressed backgrounds sneak a few bucks.
Big f'in deal.

(65,042 posts)So what? Poor kid can't even have a part time job so they sneak him some money. And, he takes it. And that is an indictment of his character? When his coach makes > 7 figures and professors at that school made $130k? And, he's the problem?
Joey, you're not making any sense here.
