Ole Miss has self-imposed a postseason ban in women's basketball and a double-digit reduction of scholarships for football as part of its response to an NCAA notice of allegations that was released Friday morning.

In its 154-page response to the NCAA, Ole Miss officials said the school "accepted responsibility for the violations that occurred and self‐imposed meaningful penalties."

The Rebels received a notice of allegations from the NCAA in late January but have released few details of the investigation.

Among the other penalties self-imposed by Ole Miss, according to the report: "The termination of four coaches, including the only two involved head coaches still employed when the violations were discovered; the disassociation of every involved booster; a post‐season ban in women's basketball; a double‐digit reduction of scholarships in the football program; a significant reduction in off‐campus evaluation days and official and unofficial visits in football and track and field; violation‐specific rules education across all involved sports; and a $159,325.00 financial penalty."

"The termination of four coaches, including the only two involved head coaches still employed when the violations were discovered

While there were some damning allegations in Ole Miss’ response, most notably the academic fraud that involved former Houston Nutt staff members Chris Vaughn and David Saunders, there was no bombshell that could cripple Ole Miss’ football program, and Freeze likely won’t lose his job over this.

His reputation may take a hit in some quarters. He’s adamantly defended his staff’s behavior over the years, and now he’ll have to answer for these infractions. Freeze will need to clean things up moving forward. There should also be a more thorough vetting of anyone who comes around the program.

Well the one thing I had a question on was Laremy Tunsil on Draft night when he said he got all these extra items from the coaches. This is not over yet for sure. RTR!

Right Preacher. That's probably what J is referring to. Will be interesting to follow.  :popcorn2:

There are some folks thinking Ole Miss is trying to back up the Tunsil thing to add it in with the already charges and that is to keep the Tunsil thing from being a second charge or a repeated offender. :dunno:

11 scholarships over 4 years is not enough. Bama lost 21 over 3 years. USC lost 30 over a 3 year period. Bama and USC also had a 2 year post season ban.

If OM is proposing double-digit scholly losses, it has to be pretty bad. I think the NCAA might try to make an example of Ole Sis and bump that number up significantly.

I'm so embarrassed, as a resident of Mississippi, that I'm resigning my position at OM.   :lol2:

They will miss you!!!  :lol: :clap:

Thanks, Jamos.  I'll miss them too, especially the teaching.  But the other crap had become tedious, and "Mama called".  I'll spend more time with Mother Nature!
