Hmmmm
Sources confirmed to ESPN.com's Chris Low on Tuesday that Ole Miss was not cited for the more serious failure to monitor charge, and that Freeze was not personally named in any of the charges.
Of the 13 violations involving football, four involve the current staff and were self-reported by Ole Miss, which also took steps to self-impose penalties in some cases, sources told ESPN.com. Those four violations include a violation of the "bump rule," which says coaches can't have contact with a recruit during a designated non-contact evaluation period, an improper recruiting video made outside the locker room, a person the NCAA considers a booster illegally transporting a recruit to campus and a stepfather of a recruit having his lodging paid for during an official visit. That last rule has since been changed by the NCAA.

Mississippi's football program was cited by the NCAA in 13 of the 28 rules violations levied against the school in the notice of allegations the university recently received, with nine of those occurring during current coach Hugh Freeze's tenure.
The breakdown of violations by sport was first reported Tuesday by The Associated Press by a person with knowledge of the investigation, and later confirmed for ESPN.com by multiple sources.
The violations are a mix of Level I, II and III; the NCAA considers Level I violations the most serious. Many of the violations have already been self-reported by the school and, as sources told ESPN's Brett McMurphy on Thursday night, those that took place under Freeze's tenure are low-level violations.
Ole Miss officials reiterated that there "were no surprises" in the NCAA's report.
Ole Miss athletic director Ross Bjork told ESPN.com last Wednesday on National Signing Day that the school looked forward to presenting its side to the NCAA.
"We're not going to run away from anything," Bjork told ESPN.com. "I know what we stand for, what we do and the integrity in this room."
Tuesday, he issued another statement, saying: "Nothing has changed from our last statement on Jan. 30. We are still working through the process."

That last rule has since been changed by the NCAA.
Sources told ESPN.com that four other violations involve the former staff at Ole Miss under Houston Nutt, specifically former assistant coach David Saunders.
And five other violations revolve around former offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil and allegations made by Tunsil's former stepfather, Lindsey Miller. Tunsil was suspended for the first seven games last season for his use of loaner vehicles from Cannon Motors in Oxford, Mississippi. He was reinstated by the NCAA for the final six games. Additionally, Tunsil spent a night at an Ole Miss assistant coach's house, another violation outlined in the NCAA's report.
The NCAA's investigation of Ole Miss took another turn last June when Tunsil and Miller were involved in a physical altercation. Both filed domestic violence charges at the time, although they later agreed to drop the charges. Tunsil said he was protecting his mother after he saw Miller push her, and Miller said Tunsil was the aggressor. Miller claimed Tunsil had been riding around in cars with agents and had accepted impermissible benefits from agents and officials at Ole Miss.

Low spent 3 days embedded with the team leading up to signing day, but I'm sure his sources are worse than a random AP writer

Oh, in that case, I guess it's written in stone. God knows the staff is a great source, because they wouldn't have any reason to mislead people on the topic.
Let's be glad ESPN went out and got a totally objective anonymous "source" on the matter.

I'll take a potentially objective source over a certainly subjective one.

Or Ole Miss could have been smart and shown him the NOA "off the record"....but you and MadamButtPlug (AKA RoseBowl) can keep praying.
Posted on 2/9/16 at 10:09 pm to Henry Jones Jr
ESPN routinely mistakes our school for your school. I wouldn't call them credible.
Posted on 2/9/16 at 10:09 pm to skirpnasty
so you assume the anonymous source has no bias? So you have any bias against om that would lead you to accept that source over a source inside the program who would actually have knowledge of the case? Come on man
