Ole Miss self imposes post season ban

Didn't all of this get really bad once Laremy Tunsil answered that reporters question during the draft?

Should have fired Freeze instead of the imposed bowl ban -- he showed how stupid he was last season burning Pattersons redshirt attempting to be bowl eligible and then losing to Vanderbilt anyway

The NCAA's letter says he got paid. He simply signed elsewhere. He's playing because he was offered immunity in exchange for rolling on OM.

OK I can see that. But it would be dumb for MSU to be coloring outside the box with him. Then again, it is Mississippi. After they get someone started scooping up the ashes of Ole Miss, the investigators could roll over to Starkville and keep their own paychecks going. NCAA's biggest satellite office could end up being the entire magnolia state.

It would seem so. It was a little like Janet Jackson in that Super Bowl Halftime show. No matter how much you might have disbelieved it at the moment, that actually happened. What a moron.

21 infractions, most are level-1, staff directly implicated, cash payments, HC failure, lack of institutional control, poor cooperation with investigation. Very bad. NCAA likely to come down hard. May rule 3 year post season ban & settle on 2 years (loss of about $15M post season revenue) and probably 20+ scholarships. Maybe other recruiting restrictions. Maybe allowing players to transfer out freely without penalty. Maybe a show cause for staff directly involved, maybe for Freeze too and/or suspension. Probably five years probation. Probably disassociation of involved boosters. Punishment package is likely to be severe and it'll take the program a very long time to recover.

Bama fans certainly are familiar with the process, huh? Again... not surprised.

Does the SEC still dole them out their check at the end of the year if they are hammered by the NCAA??

If they get a "bowl ban" but still get a big conference check at the end of the year...

What f-ing difference does it make?

This whole deal reminds me of the SMU 30 for 30 special.

I thought the same thing. This is old school, throwback cheating. The similarities are numerous:

- Both were marginal programs that rapidly improved in a short period of time
- Both had one recruiting class in particular that made the NCAA notice
- In particular, the act of recruiting big time players from far outside their traditional recruiting grounds raised eyebrows (think Sean Stopperich from Pittsburgh went to SMU, Laquon Treadwell from Chicago went to Ole Miss, etc.)

If Ole Miss was doing this 30 years ago, they would get the death penalty. Brazenly paying players, plus academic fraud.

Well, per Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports the NCAA is alleging that an Ole Miss staffer put a highly touted recruit in contact with 2 boosters that paid this recruit between $13,000 and $15,600... and this recruit did not sign with Ole Miss. Feldman does not specify who the recruit was or who he signed with but it would make sense that it was a recruit who had at one time been committed to them.

Would explain the level of anger when he flipped also.
