Have not seen or heard anything in a few weeks.

It's been about a month since there's been any update as far as I can recall. If you use the search function you should be able to find some updates.

That said, one name you'll find mentioned is Steve Robertson. He's a MSU guy that covers the Bulldogs. A few months ago he filed a FOIA request through the Mississippi Open Records act that Ole Miss stalled, stalled, and then decided to stall. Excuses ranged, but the most prevalent one was "we don't have it in our possession."

Recently he filed a complaint with the state ethics board/commission about their "non-compliance." There was a hearing scheduled and before that hearing Ole Miss told him they were "changing their position" and were willing (pause for a laugh if needed) to provide him with the names of the boosters and the names of the coaches in both NOA's. Ole Miss also said they'd release those names publicly in their answer to the second notice of allegations.

I don't recall the exact date without a calendar but I do recall it is the first Monday of the first full week of June. So, 20 days or so.

By no means.

There are no NCAA sanctions, yet. Ole Miss has self-imposed a bowl ban for this season. That's about it.

I thought they self imposed the ban for last season (which they didn't qualify anyways) and are hoping not to have a second year added.

You thought correctly--self-imposed for '17.

Not much of a penalty is it? I may be wrong, but I don't see the NCAA letting that slide.

Considering they announced they were self-imposing the bowl ban after receiving the amended NOA, no, I don't see it as enough. To me, it came across as a "oh chit, we've got to do something" kind of move.
