Ole Miss should hire Bracky Brett away from us immediately in order to ensure the best outcome possible to this impending disaster.

Another Reb troll sneaking in. Damn, these guys want on here so bad it's funny!

College Football -- Ole Miss Found Guilty Of 15 NCAA Violations
Jackson Clarion-Ledger: AP
OXFORD, Miss. - NCAA sanctions levied today against the University of Mississippi football program might cripple it for years.
The NCAA infractions committee found Mississippi guilty of 15 violations. They ranged from a lack of institutional control to offers of cash, plane tickets and cars to prospects by staff members and boosters.
Because Mississippi was penalized for similar acts in 1986, the NCAA showed no leniency, said David Swank, University of Oklahoma law professor and chairman of the committee on infractions.
"This is one of the most serious cases we've had since I've been a member of the committee," said Swank, in his fourth year as infractions committee chairman.
The committee placed Mississippi on probation for four years, banned it from postseason play for two years, banned it from playing in televised games for one year, and slashed the number of new players Mississippi can put on scholarship the next two years from 25 to 13 per year.
The scholarship reduction was the most severe levied against a Division I-A school since Southern Methodist University was barred from offering any scholarships or fielding a team in 1987 and '88.

The only issue is that it was published on Friday, November 18, 1994

The amazing thing is these trolls think we are so dumb we will fall for their BS posts and not find them out.

I seriously doubt Bobby Boy has anything of substance outside of potential receipts from OM players gambling through him or providing inside tips to him for money. And that's a big if...

I do however think that at least 4, maybe 5, other schools have had officials talk to the NCAA about what they know/have on OM. I also think it's going to take the NCAA at least a year if not two to figure it all out. I also do not expect to see Tunsil, CJ, Kailo, Connor, and maybe A. Golson playing against Vandy.

If CJ doesn't play for them, that is huge. He is damn good pass rusher, and without him, they might as well forget it. THe rest probably aren't going to start anyway, and I doubt Kailo plays at all this year. Track guy.

I know who the others are, but refresh my memory about who A. Golson is. Is he the ol from alabama that was committed to fsu? And what keeps kailo from playing? The only thing I have heard specific is the house for mom and now the word is that the house wasn't provided. Could the house be out of the contract b/c the ncaa was onto it?

I doubt we will ever see a program get the death penalty again, but if it's as bad as everyone is saying it is, I wouldn't be shocked to see UM get a tv ban like they did last time with an addition of forfeiture of tv revenues. Taking away over $15 million in revenues would send a message to them.

Word here on the Hill in DC is that it goes all the way to the top - like AD level.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

If any is true, no way bjork is in on this. Youve lost your mind

[CapHillDawg]

Maybe so, just passing along what's going around in some of the state offices for the schools ED mentioned above.

[Coach34]

If any is true, no way bjork is in on this. Youve lost your mind

Not to mention Bjork wasn't even there for some of the things being looked at

Just another terrible rumor

[HardyStreetAlumniClub]

I hate to be the negative nancy here, but I still doubt anything will happen to them. The NCAA is INCAPABLE of handling situations like this.

[Political Hack]

Is the "IT" hack u were talking about that was coming?? This investigation of tsun players??

the first time time I posted it on 247 was about Chris Jones committing. People were scared because he had shut his coach out of his recruitment and his coach interpreted that as a bad sign and that be was going to OM. That was never the case. He brought everything back into his family and his girlfriends family, who I understand is as close to him as his own. Anyone that says he didnt know for sure until NSD doesn't know what the hell they're talking about. Theyre taking one story from his former high school coach and claiming to know everything.

The recent "IT" was in part some of the repercussions OM will suffer from going after CJ Sr. Theyre trying to say its an MSU issue, but anyone notice how MSU compliance didn't even attend the meeting? That's a 100% indicator that the meeting had nothing to do with MSU. All that said, CJ is only a small part of this story. I expect a comprehensive investigation that will cover 5-10 players, over a dozen boosters, multiple coaches, several former recruits, and more.

This is the very tip of the iceberg. Theyre going to want to blame State, but States been complaining about their cheating for years. However, the NCAA seems to pay a little more attention when it comes from Bama, UGA, FSU, Auburn, and maybe others. I expect it to take a long, long time... possibly 2-3 years before any sanctions are handed down. However, I do think there will be sanctions if the NCAA still exist by the time this thing ends.

[CapHillDawg]

Avon Barksdale wasn't ever in the room with any actual drugs on The Wire, either.

[Sandman14]

Kailo isn't that good, at least right now, so it would be better for State fans if he played right away. This is coming from an ole miss die hard who attends most of the practices and has watched him with his own eyes. Kailo basically just runs up into the backs of folks and gets bushwhacked. But while Kailo sucks right now, Kemdeeeechee and the frosh WR are legit stars.

It's also crazy that the guy I know never BS's me and that they [ole miss folk] don't know about all this magical stuff that MSU fans apparently know from their "inside sources." You'd think they would be scared. Maybe they are in denial.

It will be interesting to hear how this turns out. One thing you can know for sure is that if its the NCAA, they will surely screw everything up. Heck they may not even be the governing authority for the SEC by the time they get their ducks together on this. They haven't even come out with a final reprimand on the Miami stuff yet (I don't think).

[PassInterference]

Hopefully, it takes a couple years to hammer out. As time goes on, hopefully more public confirmations come indicating that different players and coaches are being looked at. A good public 2 year investigation like XenaReb produced would essentially be 2 years of informal scholarship reductions. In that 2 years of uncertainty, crootin will be down for them like it was for Sherrill.

The actual probation may or may not be worse than the 2 year dark cloud.

In the end, they get what they deserve.

Moving forward, I think that Bulldog Nation is of like mind that MSU and OM *could* peacefully co-exist by playing with honor among cheaters, as the rest of the SEC does. Wine and dine your people. Croot your recruits. But leave that egomanical Merry Flipmas big library weekend shit out of the equation. Play be the street's rules or get kicked out of the street.

Miami is a different story. The NCAA has legal issues of their own in that case. I wouldn't judge any other case using a Miami precedent.

excellent. I agree on all fronts.

my point is they may very well do the same stupid mess in this case, as well.

and that the power conferences are going to break away eventually anyhow.

but yeah the cloud of the investigation is going to be very damaging, plus the fact that while you are being stared at, you can't really cheat that much. that's what happened to state when the cam scandal was going on. we couldn't get our cheat on. bad recruiting class in terms of closing the guys on the fence.

[Sandman14]

and while we are talking, apparently the OM folks agree that their QB has been atrocious...and they are very concerned on that issue....he's throwing ducks..
