Yeah, I saw it. If that was their findings, it was a weak penalty, just being honest. The legitimacy of the NCAA is shot. Heck, this is what Auburn got for what, $4000 to Ramsey?
quote:
Auburn got two years of probation, lost 33 scholarships over a three-year period, was hit with a two-year postseason ban and a one-year television ban. Frost and Blakeney were permanently disassociated from the program.

Starting to seem like a slap on the wrist.

Really though. Every non powerhouse should start paying players out the arse, load a team, win a Natty, then take your penalities for a few years. Repeat.
This is the final nail in the NCAA coffin, they are limp.

Wonder if this is on most infractions
c. Inform prospective football student-athletes in writing that Mississippi is on probation for
four years and detail the violations committed. If a prospective student-athlete takes an
official paid visit, the information regarding violations, penalties and terms of probation
must be provided in advance of the visit. Otherwise, the information must be provided
before a prospective student-athlete signs a National Letter of Intent; and
d. Publicize specific and understandable information concerning the nature of the infractions
by providing, at a minimum, a statement to include the types of violations and the affected
sport programs and a direct, conspicuous link to the public infractions report located on the
athletic department's main or "landing" webpage. The information shall also be included
in the football media guides and in an alumni publication. Mississippi's statement must:
(i) clearly describe the infractions; (ii) include the length of the probationary period
associated with the infractions case; and (iii) provide a clear indication of what happened
in the infractions case. A statement that refers only to the probationary period with nothing
more is not sufficient.

1 more year of bowl ban and 13 scholarships reduction

We start self-imposing scholarship reductions a couple years ago
Right, but on line one for example, your initial was zero, they add 1... where does that get applied? You can't go back and say "player X" wasn't on scholarship unless I'm misunderstanding something.
Similarly, on other lines where the total is > initial... just curious how that is handled.
Ultimately, this sure looks like a pretty significant win for Ole Miss...

So the bowl ban plus all players being able to transfer without penalty are the big hits for Ole Miss it appears.

It's only a flesh wound, boys. Keep firing.

13 scholarships and essentially a 1 year bowl ban aren't bad at all. I'm pretty sure I predicted a slap on the wrist of 2018 & 2019 bowl bans and 12 scholarships over 3 years.
Ole Miss is getting off with a love tap on the wrist.

That's an interesting addition... not *that* substantive, but at least has some nominal impact. Ultimately, this whole doc reads that every team should cheat...

Don't believe this is accurate. It will only be players that are impacted by the bowl ineligibility next year (rising seniors) per several discussions now... could be wrong, but knowledgeable people are indicating this is accurate.

Shea Patterson transferring to LSU?

You have to have a bowl ban during your remaining years of eligibility. So players with only one year left

shite in the old days they would have had a 10 scholarship per year reduction for 5 years. A 4 year bowl band and would lose tv rights for 2 years. This shite is so light. Compared to what use to happen.

Hate to draw your attention away. AJ is live on Twitter right now, with his phone in his pocket, talking to coaches about transferring and has no idea.
