Per sources, Ole Miss was hit very hard by the NCAA COI. Still some confusion regarding scholarship totals, but the sanctions are very severe. 2-year bowl ban, show causes, vacated wins, etc.

“total scholarship reduction of 13 over a period of years. That’s in addition to the 11 over four years that Ole Miss self-imposed, which already meant three or four fewer scholarship players per year.” - Godfrey article

That's still a win for OM even if it's 24 scholarships total. I think at least two of the 11 they were essentially just schollies they had already failed to use, so you're talking about 22 scholarships total. Not nothing, but if at the end of the Nutt era, you had offered their fans the option of 2 NY6 bowl appearances in exchange for 22 scholarships lost, they mostly would have jumped on it.
