re: What Will Be The Actual Consequences For Ole Miss?

Completely disagree...based not on OM being an "up-start" but Ole Miss being from Mississippi.

Eh, I don't think the SEC sports media cares about that. Maybe the New York Times is pissed at the state, but The New York Times won't be trying to interview Ole Miss commitments. At most they will do a big expose that won't lead to dick and then move on.

What will screw Ole Miss is the fact that SEC football journalists (locally and nationally) are front running fans for the most part. Unlike all other parts of journalism where the reporters pretend to be impartial, in college football we get a guy or three for every major program that does nothing but follow that program and therefore ties their fates to the success of that program.

It will be these jock sniffers who hound Ole Miss recruits when they commit to Ole Miss and not the Texas or Alabama that they cover. It will be these guys who make life hell for anyone associated with Ole Miss.
