So after reading the Louisville stuff

I realize OM and Freeze will appeal any punishment harsher than staying 30 minutes after school and cleaning the chalk board. How does the appeal process work ? Time frames, chances of succeeding etc etc

I would imagine the appeal process would happen fairly quickly and has a next to zero chance of success.

How does the NCAA infractions appeals process actually work?
It starts with the written notice of appeal, a document sent by the institution to the NCAA declaring that it will contest the Committee on Infractions' ruling in the case. U of L has 15 days from Thursday to send the notice to the NCAA.
From there, U of L then gets 30 days to file its response to the infractions ruling to the NCAA's Infractions Appeals Committee, a smaller panel that includes a different crop of college administrators and lawyers than were on the Committee on Infractions.
If U of L takes the full 15 days to notify the NCAA of its appeal and the full 30 days to file it, the Committee on Infractions would start its response process July 29.
The committee would have until August 29 to file that response. U of L gets another 14 days to file a rebuttal to the infractions committee's response.
Then the NCAA enforcement staff has 10 days to file a statement, and U of L gets 10 more days to respond to that.
All of those steps lead up to another hearing, this time in front of the Infractions Appeals Committee.
If each step of the process takes its full allotted time, a hearing could be held sometime in October or November.

You are correct. Ole Miss blew up any chance of a successful appeal when they went on the offensive. Making proactive and conciliatory changes with a contrite attitude before punishment is decided is the first step to a successful appeal. You don't get to go in guns a blazing then beg for mercy after you are sentenced.
