re: LSU booster embezzles 500k

On October 4, 2014, the 11th-ranked Ole Miss Rebels hosted the 3rd-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide in Oxford, Mississippi. Head coach Hugh Freeze and the Rebels would rally from a 14-3 halftime deficit to defeat Nick Saban’s team by the final score of 23-17. Fans stormed the field, the goalposts were torn down and carried around town, and Ole Miss would climb to No. 3 in the AP Poll the following week, their highest mark since 1964.

Well, after finally receiving the final sanctions from Ole Miss’ ugly NCAA scandal involving former players and coaches, including Houston Nutt and Hugh Freeze, that massive Alabama win, as well 32 others between 2010 and 2016, apparently never happened and have been vacated by the NCAA, according to Rebel Grove.

The Ole Miss scandal involved multiple allegations that included recruits receiving thousands of dollars from University of Mississippi football boosters, getting free merchandise from Rebel Rags, assistant coaches fixing ACT scores to help football recruits become eligible, as well as several others that led to the NCAA dropping the hammer on the program.
