The NCAA extended Ole Miss football’s postseason ban to two seasons and handed down show-cause orders to four former coaches and athletics employees Friday, concluding a lengthy investigation of recruiting violations that dated from 2010.
Hugh Freeze, the coach who resigned abruptly this summer after revelations he’d called escort services from his university-issued phone, received a two-game suspension he’ll have to serve only if he’s hired as a head coach for next season. Ole Miss — which previously had agreed to self-impose a one-year postseason ban, for this season — now likely will miss the 2018 postseason as well.

Ole Miss “lacked institutional control and fostered an unconstrained culture of booster involvement in football recruiting,” according to the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions ruling. A dozen boosters and six former staffers were implicated by the NCAA in arranging impermissible benefits, including cash payments, free car rides to campus, free hotel rooms, food, and Rebels apparel from an Oxford-area sports merchandise store. Two former staffers were also implicated for arranging fraudulent standardized test scores for three recruits.

In addition to Freeze, former Ole Miss assistant Chris Kiffin, now defensive coordinator at Florida Atlanta, received a two-year show-cause order. Former assistant athletic director Barney Farrar received a five year show-cause.
