Ole Miss Under Investigation for Rules Violations in Multiple Sports
In what is a surprise to no one, Ole Miss is under investigation by the NCAA for rules violations in football and women's basketball. They have not been sent a Notice of Allegations, nor do they have a hearing set with the Infractions Committee. As usual, I'm sure nothing significant will stem from this investigation, regardless of what is found. Interesting, nonetheless.

Cue gifs of animals that look shocked....now!

This is most surprising... that the NCAA is actually doing something in terms of enforcement.

Lolz, thats probably like $300 bucks. I am sure he is really successfulquon to have acquired $300. weeeeeee.

That was his lunch money.

Investigation is not the same as enforcement.
They seem to investigate - occasionally.
Enforcement - they seem to rarely do, unless it's stretching. If it's stretching, they bring the hammer.
Hugh just better hope they weren't stretching too much.

one of my fav scenes from a great classic, plus really stressed today and needed a laugh.

So does this mean Hugh Freeze is off the list of potential coaches?
October 2nd, 2014 at 9:47 AM ^
Not for me. We all know that nothing will come of this.

"Ouch, my wrist!"

Oh dear Lord. The confederate paper currency had slaves working in the fields on them? That is absurdly in poor taste, I would think, even for that time.
October 2nd, 2014 at 12:07 PM ^
LSU's library has an exhibit up right now on "Depictions of Slavery in Confederate Currency."

It was only a matter of time. I bet Ole Miss is probably the dirtiest program in the country right now. They've been pulling in insane recruiting classes out of nowhere. I think they just had a kid commit that said OSU would always be #1 to him, but felt he needed to go to Ole Miss instead.
October 2nd, 2014 at 10:04 AM ^
things like that helped getting SMU busted... if you've seen Pony Excess there is section of it that says a lot of coaches in the mid west and east coast were getting pissed about SMU moving in on their recruiting targets when SMU had never readlly recruited nationally...
October 2nd, 2014 at 12:04 PM ^
They were poaching recruits from Ohio and OSU wasn't happy about it.
October 2nd, 2014 at 9:57 AM ^
learn that women's college basketball is nothing more than a money game?
October 2nd, 2014 at 10:02 AM ^
You don't say?

Sounds like an upstanding program. I wonder if their AD is available.
October 2nd, 2014 at 10:03 AM ^
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

2010 record 4-8, 2011 record 2-10, 2012 record 7-6, 2013 recruiting class #7, 2013 record 8-5, 2014 recruiting class #19.....

By that logic, Brady Hoke should starting prepping for an NCAA investigation.
October 2nd, 2014 at 10:35 AM ^
Then he rode the, I'm trying to fix Rod's mess, for the next 2 seasons.

Hugh Freeze, January 2013 - “If you have facts about a violation, send it to [email protected]. If not, please do not slander these young men or insult their family.”
Hugh Freeze, October 2014 - "I was kidding."
October 2nd, 2014 at 10:47 AM ^
Very nice, although I thought there was also a statement about how Freeze didn't realize that this was an e-mail account that someone actually checked and monitored, also explaining that all future concerns need to be sent to Freeze himself [email protected] so that they are dealt with swiftly and personally.

The worst part about it is that nothing will come of this. Everyone outside of Oxford knows that program is dirty but the NCAA is too weak to do anything about it
October 2nd, 2014 at 10:39 AM ^
TREADWELL!!!!!
Meh, they will probably get literally no penalty.

I know this is going to upset the masses and its kind of dumb that no one has mentioned it yet, but its mostly women's basketball violations that they are under investigation for. And of the things the football team is being investigated for, they are all minor things and things from over 3 years ago.
Of course all of this in the article, but I know we can't be bothered by reading.

Wow what a suprise, an SEC school under investigation. C'mon you think treadwell went there cause he wanted to walk the grove? Where you guys think that wad of cash he had in that pic come from Col. Sanders? lmao! This is how them good ol' boys do biznizz in the souf.
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:34 AM ^
has a big game this week.
October 2nd, 2014 at 12:14 PM ^
Nah, just Bama.
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:47 AM ^
"Yahoo! Sports also reports the potential major football violations do not involve current head coach Hugh Freeze and his staff, and instead are a part of an ongoing investigation into a previous staff."
Hmmm...
October 2nd, 2014 at 12:26 PM ^
Then again, I'm sure he's looking at his decision to not come here as dodging a bullet.

The NCAA will probably hammer Ole Miss because they aren't as powerful as Bama, Auburn, Florida, TAMU, Georgia or even South Carolina. The NCAA usually lets the big boys off the hook and hammers teams that have risen from nothing to be almost elite. The only exceptions are when the evidence is so blatant that it can't be ignored, or if a school like Michigan admits to wrongdoing, thinking that "doing the right thing" is actually a positive under such a screwed up system.
I wish they would just let all of the players get paid.
October 2nd, 2014 at 2:44 PM ^
I for one am shocked.
