Ole Miss Running A Prison Up There?

[MedDawg]

would be curious as to what the 1959 infraction was.

Believe it or not, it was for adopting a HS football star to get him to go to OM. I believe the player was Lance Allworth, who went to OM, got married, was kicked off the team by Vaught, and went on to star for Arkansas.

Here's the 1959 NCAA report:

Lance Allworth is a name that rings a bell to me. I think he was a NFL wide receiver. damned good one at that.

LOL - Allworth retired before I was born. I remember him from NFL Films.

I wonder what was that movie was going to be called?**

I had no idea Alworth ever went to Ole Miss.

And it just goes to show what my Grandfather told me- they've been cheating forever.

He never went to OM, he wanted to but he had to get married and Vaught had a rule of no married players.

Correct, he was from Brookhaven I believe and was married. Vaught had a rule against it. So he went to Ark and the rest is history.

Had the old crook known how good he was, he would have taken him anyway.

Vaught wasn't a genius, he went out and basically gave a scholarship to the QB on almost every good team. They were usually the best athletes, so when he got them, if it didn't work out at QB, he would switch them somewhere else.

He wouldn't be worth a damn in today's scholarship restricted world.

Integration and sholly limits drove that old cheating bastard out, not "heart problems"
