seaofred92 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/sec/2017/07/20/ole-miss-coach-hugh-freeze-called-number-tied-escort-service/498056001/ A one-minute call made from the University-issued phone of Ole Miss football coach Hugh Freeze to a number associated with a female escort service was raised as a potential issue in the back-and-forth between the university’s legal counsel and the attorney for former Rebels football coach Houston Nutt, according to records and correspondence obtained by USA TODAY Sports. Freeze resigned Thursday evening, hours after Ole Miss said it would provide a written statement to USA TODAY Sports regarding the phone call. School officials did not immediately offer a reason for the resignation.On July 13 — one day after Nutt filed a federal lawsuit against Ole Miss alleging that the school violated the terms of its severance agreement — Nutt’s attorney, Thomas Mars, sent an e-mail to Lee Tyner, the school’s general counsel, referencing a “phone call Coach Freeze made that would be highly embarrassing for all of you and extremely difficult to explain.”The call, which was made on the evening of Jan. 19, 2016, to a Detroit (313) area code, lasts just one minute, according to e-mails exchanged between the two parties. But the phone number is associated with several Web sites advertising a female escort based in Tampa, Fla., USA TODAY Sports has independently confirmed. The phone number has been disconnected.According to Mars, the records do not show Freeze immediately redialing a different or similar number, nor do other calls to a 313 number appear in the phone records covering the days Mars requested.Responding on July 14, Tyner rebuffed a suggestion from Mars that the phone call might be connected to Ole Miss' ongoing NCAA infractions case, saying the school had inquired into the matter and that “the call to the Detroit number that lasted one minute (or less) appears to be a misdial.”Mars shared the correspondence with USA TODAY Sports.The exchange over the phone call highlights the ugliness between Ole Miss and Nutt as the school attempts to fight one of the most expansive NCAA infractions cases in recent memory.

Huskerchussetts Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I hate it when I accidentally call an escort sevrice. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Bo might get a call. Straightlaced guy for the most part knows the area and recruiting is easy. He can recruit from his car! Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 "I resigned because I accidentally pocket-dialed a number." It's fun to see how dumb people like this think the public is. “We proactively looked into the rest of his phone records and found a concerning pattern,” Bjork said. Quote Link to comment
