Ole Miss...is no one going to mention the 60s riot? Reading the link, I had no idea that "Over 30,000 troops were deployed, alerted, and committed during the conflict-the largest for a single disturbance in American history." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ole_Miss_riot_of_1962
State's might be the 1970s NCAA probation where we had to forfeit a few years of wins, if for no other reason that the NCAA probation was stopped by a local Oktibbeha County judge then overturned (allowed) by the Ole Miss-stacked Mississippi Supreme Court.
The actual infractions were extremely minor charges (a $12 discount on clothes for a player) that were not really infractions at all as all State students got the same discount. The NCAA would not allow the store owner to testify, and later the NCAA was reprimanded by the U.S. Congress for bad investigation practices and intimidation of witnesses.
As of right now those forfeited wins cause us to be under .500 historically. We would be over .500 with those wins.
