"In addition, Southern Miss will see a reduction in available scholarships by five over the next three years. The university must also pay a $5,000 fine as well as an amount equal to 1 percent of the men's basketball program's average total budget over the past three seasons.
Southern Miss also self-imposed a number of other penalties, including a reduction in the number of official visits during the 2015-16 season by three, the prohibition from hosting any unofficial visits for a period of 10 weeks before the beginning of the fall 2016 semester, the restriction in recruiting communications with prospects by 10 weeks before the beginning of the fall 2016 semester and a reduction in men’s basketball off-campus recruiting days during the 2015-16 season by 25."
So the school got serious punishment, irrespective of the coaches. 5 lost scholarships over 3 years in basketball is huge.

Secondly, NCAA knew they were in the wrong and went back and changed their punishment on penn State.
So they hammered Penn State essentially because they were disgusted by the actions (as we all were), ignoring the fact that it was outside their scope because it had nothing to do with sports. And then they suddenly decided they were in the wrong and reversed course.
We're making the same point - for you to believe that it is a foregone conclusion that Ole Miss will not be significantly impacted by the actions of the former coaching staff is not grounded in fact. It is simply wishful thinking.

Neither of us know. There isn't a precedent for going back that far with all of the primaries gone. We do know that the desire is to punish the primaries more and the kids less. We also know that the head coach during that period is not being held under any scrutiny at all when he damn well could be. There is a lot of wishful thinking on a lot of people's part, not only Ole Miss fans.
