Not showing up at all would be incredibly embarrassing for Ole Miss- among no telling what kind of penalties there would be for not showing up. They would have to forfeit the Egg Bowl and I can't imagine ESPN being happy about them having to show the MSU spring game Thanksgiving edition. It would probably cost them at least a million dollars in penalties and be another huge black eye for their program.
That was Grambling/Jackson State about 3 years ago. They did not play that game, the Grambling players did not show up at the team bus to travel to the game, so Grambling forfeited. The players were protesting the conditions of their facilities. Grambling had to pay JSU a chunk of money and got in troble with the SWAC.
