was there ever any evidence to suggest collusion?
the level of evidence presented the first time was literally much less than the evidence presented this time. that mississippi thing is a proverbial smoking gun compared to what colonels came up with last time.
edit: ill quickly recap, because i can't stand seeing the name of a coach i respect so much brought into question in such a completely insane manner. heres the story: colonels is coaching new orleans, with a b- prestige (maybe a b), and johnsensing is coaching LSU, with an A+ of course. so early in recruiting, colonels jumps on a local 4 star or something, a BCS quality guy, and is on him alone. meanwhile, he is fighting some 3rd coach for a recruit, and apparently, is winning (the other guy was maybe C prestige mid major or something).
later in recruiting, john takes the 4 star off colonels. colonels thinks, wow, that guy only has 1 and 2/3rds grades and who knows how much bonus money on me, i should probably take that fight. so he does. it goes without saying that he lost. well then, the C prestige school coach apparently notices that colonels is on a suicide mission battling an A+ BCS. so, he picks up the original battle. colonels loses both. much whining and menstrual bleeding ensues, with colonels concluding that john must be colluding with the C prestige school, because apparently its easier to believe that A+ hall of fame coaches go around colluding with C prestige schools against B- prestige schools, than it is to believe that john was simply taking the player because he was an A+ bcs worthy player and thats what A+ BCS schools do.
thats the entire story. there was no communication between john and the C prestige guy, no past history presented, nothing except the "timing of the events makes it obvious collusion"
