Could Ole Miss get booted from the SEC?

It is already difficult enough for them to consistantly stay competitive.....Mississippi college in tiny media market sharing a small recruiting pool with another state university where most top flight talent gets poached by conference rivals etc.
If the NCAA hammers them into the stone age, they are going to lose whatever talent they have or could have along with tons of booster funding (many may get swept up in NCAA sanctions barring them). Does the lure of more attractive options mean Ole Miss is in the hot seat when everything is considered?
Not saying I want this to happen.

My God LSU fans make us all look bad even in anti-Ole Miss threads.

It should be on the table. They are still holding press conferences and lying til this day. They've lied at every turn through two chancellors. It has to been discussed.

Not an anti Ole Miss thread. I happen to appreciate the history and rivalry.

I think you have to seriously consider this. Ole Miss will stuggle on the academic side of things as a result of this.
We already know about Missouri Struggling.
So the easiest decesion is to boot both and fix the SEC scheduling issue. But if you have the opportunity to add Virginia Tech or North Carolina State do that(not West Virginia)

Not going to be many left in the SEC if we start booting teams who get in trouble with the NCAA.

Not many teams get into this much trouble. When it's all said and done, this will be by far the most severe case in SEC History

I don't see it. Ole Miss is a founding member, the flagship university of arguably the most southern state in America and located in a pretty college town that oozes southern culture. Just my two cents.

If they get the death Penalty then I can't justify keeping them. They are probably even with Mississippi State in everything right now. But as a result MSU will surpass them in everything.
Football, Basketball, Baseball (already better), Women's Basketball (obviously already better), academics. You name it.
The amount of money ole Miss will lose from this is more than anyone realizes and that will be the big punishment. As a result less kids will come to the university. It's a bad and sad situation. Like I said above you have to seriously consider it.

Thank you for the rational response and I agree with it. I just dont know how the SEC front office will react when it gets down to brass taxes. With recent trends Im not convinced sentimentalism wins the day.

They won't get booted from the conference. They will just keep getting their asses kicked in every sport and be the doormat that they are. We need ole miss, someone has to be the bitch.

If they get the death penalty, yes.
If not, no.
If not, no.

Someone does have to be the bitch, but that's what Vandy and Kentucky are for in football.
Ole Miss is living off a long dead tradition created in the 1950's and 1960's. They haven't sniffed a championship since then. The only times they've been a factor in football was when they were cheating their asses off with Brewer and now with Freeze. And both times they've been hammered back into oblivion that it takes them decades to recover from.
Mississippi the state isn't rich enough or populous enough to support two SEC schools, a CUSA school, a couple of big historically black universities, a rather extensive JuCo system,etc. The talent is spread too thin. Better to choose one school to throw the resources behind to become more competitive in everything. State's been better at everything since the 1970's.
Replace Ole Miss with East Carolina. They are probably on par with them athletically now or close to it and with an infusion of SEC cash, they will blossom into a good fit. And it would provide the league with a foothold in the Carolina/VA market without a nasty Grant of Rights court fight with the ACC.

I do ultimately believe the Big 12 will fold when the media rights contract expires. Is there any team in the Big 12 that would be better than Ole Miss? Obviously no Texas school. Texas is bad. Baylor is sick. Tech is weird. And TCU is a maybe but leaning no. The state of Texas is with A&M so I really could care less about more Texas schools. Oklahoma or Oklahoma State wouldn't be terrible. Kansas gives the SEC instant Basketball credibility and gives every SEC team an easy football win. Kansas State is a solid program. Iowa State wouldn't be terrible. West Virginia is the worst.
Overall there are some options in the Big 12 no doubt. But nothing like NC or VA.

No.
Ole Miss will stay in the SEC. If nothing else, they will be kept around just for the laughs.
