The eventual outcome from the SMU Death Penalty was the breakup of the Southwest Conference. No one wants the same thing with the SEC. If Ole Miss were given the death penalty, they would be forced out of the conference and a replacement found. Scheduling would be disrupted, revenue would be disrupted, and State would be the only Mississippi SEC school (which would be absolutely not allowable by the state political establishment, currently dominated by Ole Miss alumni).Quote:

I highly doubt they would be kicked out of the league for a one year death penalty (and there will for sure NEVER be a death penalty handed down for longer than one year if there ever is another one at all). Like us, they are charter members and there are too many decades of history to make a rash decision like that because of a one year interruption. Chances are they would just go to a 7 game conference schedule for the West and two East teams that had OM on the schedule for one year and use the extra weekend as either an open date or additional nonconference game (each team could choose). Wouldn't exactly be fair for the East teams, but its a one year deal and it could be managed.Quote:

lol. i still say some of you are somewhat delusional with regards to the repercussions likely to come out of this...show causes fro freeze...death penalties... guys check your expectations, please
Exactly.. With each class they will have to hit on 3/4 of playersthey sign, they will have to get walkons that produce, and pray that attrition doesn't hit hard..Quote:

because it makes the fanbase i am associated with, look like a bunch of fringe nutjobs....people are serious when they are mentioning show causes and 30 plus scholarship reductions.. releasing players from their NOIs. I would bet every penny I have that nothing that severe is going to come from this.Quote:

Our AD at the time was clueless, appears theirs is as well.Quote:

They have messaging, smoke, mirrors, but not an escape route.
i can see your point here. the dark cloud and speculation can cause them harm as well, so might as well join in the fun. I heard the entire staff is about to be let goQuote:
