Bud Light in a frosted mug, please.

So you want a watered down beer even more watered down? dude...

On ESPNs Pony Excess, didn't somebody say that the NCAA will never issue the death penalty because of how long SMU has been affected. May have just been somebody speculating.

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).

My boy aint been wrong yet- dead ass accurate- and he says:

32 schollys over 4
bowl ban
Working their ass off to nail Freezus with a show cause- this is still iffy- but they are pressing this year's recruits for their big finish

We shall see.

My gut says that is a bit more than they'll get for football for two reasons.

The investigation is about more than football for the ncaa and freeze probably cant be proven to be complicit.

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.

[I seen it dawg]

If they lose 20-30 schollies over 3-4 years it doesn't matter if a bowl ban is officially there or not. They won't make one anyway. This league is kind of difficult to get to Atlanta with a full, bought squad. Isn't it OM fans....

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..

Why does this bother you??. I'm sure most aren't serious about thinking they get the the SMU penalties.. But a show clause and a USCw type sanctions are very possible..

[CadaverDawg]

What's funny is, Ole Miss lawyers are about to have to go where they're worst....Court. They're great at threatening and wording things for the PR game....but they have a shitty law school, so they're about to have to put that 3rd tier law degree to the actual test.

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.

Honestly, the build up to the hammer dropping is part of their punishment. Like it was u s. They can't control the spin now. Even if everything they say in their defense is true, this process is damaging them. The rumors are going to eat at their fanbase and boosters like the JWS stuff did us. Our AD at the time was clueless, appears theirs is as well.

Penalties will sting but enjoy the process. In fact remember what this was like for us as we saw how inept our AD had been to let it happen multiple times on his watch. LT has always been my villain regarding our last probation. He didn't fight for us. Bjork is a General finding out he has only been given a ceremonial guard to wage battle with. 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 go
