The Ole Miss Rebels announced Thursday that head football coach Hugh Freeze "resigned effective immediately" before elaborating on the details in a press conference.
Dan Wolken of USA Today reported Thursday Freeze made a one-minute call from a school-issued phone "to a number associated with a female escort service." The call came to light as part of a federal lawsuit former Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt filed against the school alleging it violated his severance agreement.
Athletics director Ross Bjork said during the presser, "We proactively looked into the rest of (Hugh Freeze's) phone records & found a concerning pattern," per Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports.
According to reporter Brett McMurphy, Bjork said Freeze "admitted the (personal) misconduct" before resigning.
This all came after Pat Forde of Yahoo Sports reported Thursday, per sources, Freeze's position was "in immediate jeopardy" after "explosive new information" came to light.
"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,'" Wolken wrote.

So he’s out because why?? Were any laws broken, or contract terms violated??

Wonder how Mars knew of and had access to the phone record?
If prostitution is illegal in that state, then very likely laws were broken. Furthermore big contracts like his usually have Morals clauses or similar that make actions gldajshing to the reputation of the employer a firing offense.
Had he merely been a transgender, he would now be a celebrity.

Good old Hugh, he always let me use his phone to call the escort service.

Calling that escort service was a Hugh Mistake.

one would think that consorting with whores would be fine, considering the fact that college football has become something of a whore itself.
. . . and people kept insisting that a playoff system would “fix” college football.
Hail State! Go Dawgs!

Escorts for himself is bad enough, but if said escorts were used for recruiting, it could mean bye-bye to Ole Miss for many years.
I've no idea what that word is....
Maybe he was calling his cousin, daughter, wife, aunt, mom.............???
How do you know the info is just a phone call?
the power conferences will soon be insisting that they should be permitted to buy whores for recruits, otherwise “the quality of the game will suffer”, because “it will be impossible to attract the best athletes”, and “it’s unfair that college football makes billions of dollars, and those poor athletes can’t have their *us** bought for them”.
