re: Has the SEC made a comment on the photographer Ole Miss sent on the field?

It's probably up to the school and not even the SEC. Will the OM SID office deny him future credentials? If he's with a Mississippi media outlet, that could spell trouble for his job. If he's just a freelance photographer, he'll survive.

It was a dumb move on his part, but the outrage is just as dumb, if not more.

I have seen a better photo up close of the photographer. They know who he is and it is unlikely in THIS case that he will lose a credential, despite what happened - though someone will assuredly sit down and discuss some future expectations with him. When it is all said and done, it will end up being a compound problem of inexperience, a lack of understanding about media credential rules and boundaries, over zealousness, and maybe someone having a credential that probably shouldn't.

And on a related note, there are no "free-lance" photographers allowed on the Ole Miss or Bama sidelines. They are all shooting for a news outlet, photo service, or a professional organization (such as the SEC office, an Alumni group, maybe the Ole Miss Media relations dept., etc).
