Despite the early spin by Ole Miss, this isn't going to end well for them

But they don't think a bowl ban is appropriate.

"The fact that all but one of the 16 Level I violations arose from intentional misconduct committed by rogue former employees or boosters outside the University's direct control acting in contravention of rules education provided to them by the University," the report said. "Although a post‐season ban may be imposed in a Level I -- Mitigated case, the University believes a ban is unnecessary here based upon applicable precedent and because the most serious allegations occurred years ago, involving staff and student‐athletes long‐since separated from the University."

Basing my opinion on what I see on this penalty matrix:

-Freeze will not get a show-cause. This might be the only positive thing about this.
-A few assistants will either be suspended or let go
-Postseason ban looks more and more likely
-Scholarship reductions blah blah blah

The NCAA does note in the NOA that Ole Miss has been working with them and self reporting violations etc. I don't know how far this will go in the decisions for penalties, but the NCAA obviously thought enough of it to put it in the NOA.

The amount of Level 1's is staggering, and it's across 3 sports over 4 years. I don't see how they come out of this without a bowl ban. We will see.

Nor vacating any wins, apparently.

ULL self-vacated a season. The NCAA tacked on most of 2 more seasons.

TUNS' scholarship reduction contains 1 scholly from two years ago and 2 from this past recruiting class. So, they aren't filling the schollys of the non-qualifiers and claiming it as "double digit" punishment?

I believe when it is all said and done they will be close to USC type penalties.

The Birdie, (not Deep) told me that Keenum told him that meeting with the NCAA

to discuss our response on the Redmond situation was the most intimidating thing he has ever been through. He said they didn't play around
and did not accept all we were telling them. I think this is important.

Yeah, I'd say it's important too. If the President of a major university, in the most major conference, is intimidated by NCAA investigators, it speaks volumes.

No wonder Freeze has looked like crap lately. And presumably Bjork too, although I haven't seen any pictures of him. I don't even know who the President or Chancellor of OM is, but I'm sure he must have had his turn in the barrel too.

Did Freeze admit to lying anywhere, or knowing about or even being complicit in any of the violations? I don't see how he could have possibly not known what was going on. If he truly didn't, he's one of the most naive people in the world.

That's a good point. Did Freeze just think he was a really, really good recruiter while in reality there were a bunch of rogue boosters and coaches running around behind the scenes orchestrating everything? Sounds like an episode of Andy Griffith.

It's hard to say they took a scholarship reduction this year when if Jeff Simmons, Shy Carter, Rashan Gary, and Mique Juarez had all committed to Ole Miss, they'd have taken them.
