OXFORD — Ole Miss has received its 24-hour notice of a Committee on Infractions ruling, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told the Clarion Ledger.

According to those sources, a decision, including penalties Ole Miss could potentially receive, will be delivered at 8:30 a.m. Friday and will be made public later that morning. It will also detail any punishment for participants in the case, including former head coach Hugh Freeze and several former assistant coaches and staff members.

The football program faces 21 allegations, including 15 Level I violations. The most serious for the university is a lack of institutional control charge. The stakes are high for Freeze, who allegedly violated his head coach responsibility legislation.

Ole Miss contested at least portions of nine allegations at its Committee on Infractions hearing, which took place on Sept. 11 and 12 in Covington, Kentucky. Ole Miss is up against a variety of allegations ranging from academic fraud to rogue boosters paying prospective recruits.

The university self-imposed a postseason ban, which led to it also surrendering its postseason revenue of nearly $8 million this season.


A little more than 11 weeks have passed since Ole Miss had its hearing, beyond the time frame given then for an expected decision. Besides passing through the entirety of the 2017 season, Ole Miss has hired coach Matt Luke to lead the program earlier this week.

Throughout the process, the thought was the university would receive its ruling six-to-eight weeks after the hearing. But there's no NCAA mandate which states that a ruling has to come within that time.

Last year, 74 days passed between Ole Miss' hearing and a decision announcement in its women's basketball and women's track case.


This case is much more complex for a variety of reasons. As mentioned earlier, there's 21 allegations the university faces. There's also seven involved parties, which doesn't exactly speed things up

And then there's the NCAA enforcement staff's use of limited immunity with Mississippi State linebacker Leo Lewis, who is connected to multiple Level I violations, which complicates things more than a normal case.

At Matt Luke's introductory press conference on Monday, Ross Bjork was asked about the NCAA proceedings and said: "We're prepared. We're ready, we're on go whenever we might get our final report and we'll deal with it. Obviously, we're ready to get this over with ... but we have no idea when or what might be coming."

I know this is crazy but....could we pick up some LBs immediately from Ole Miss if they open the doors to immediate transfer? :shock:

By my count it's been 79 days since their appearance before the COI.

LBs? How about some DBs or DL! They have a safety who sat out this season and was granted release. Not sure how he was rated coming out of HS. Will have 3yrs to play wherever he lands.

JMO but there is a certain type player that chose Ole Miss over Bama. I am not sure you need these type characters on the roster.

He'll have only 2 years. He played last year, redshirted this year, but will be forced to sit out in 2018 due to the transfer rules (unless he goes to FCS or lower). That will leave him only 2 years left in his five years to play four.

Per a report from USA Today’s Dan Wolken, the talented safety is seeking an immediate and full transfer release from the program on the grounds of allegedly being misled about the NCAA investigation into the Rebels football program. He is reportedly seeking the ability to be eligible to play next season after voluntarily sitting out this season.

Wolken reports that Anderson’s attorney has laid the groundwork for a claim that Anderson should be eligible to play without sitting out a season, and perhaps at a competing SEC program:

Seeking. In other words, he's hoping but the rules are against him.

Today is the day that every player on the team might get a transfer. With Luke onboard, I don't think they will as a rule, but the pucker factor should far surpass the egg bowl.

Remember going through it...sucks big time...
Remember AU going through it...was awesome

This is the day that the NCAA decides for everyone if cheating is worth it.

Ed Zackery.........JMO but I believe the penalty's will be less than expected. 1 year Bowl ban and total of 15-18 schollys. The really didn't kill Miami.
