Ole Miss Gets 2-Year Bowl Ban, Other Penalties in NCAA Case
Mississippi's football program has been handed a two-year postseason ban and other penalties by the NCAA.
The Committee on Infractions came down hard on Ole Miss, which went 6-6 but had self-imposed a bowl ban this year and hoped to avoid it next season over its long-running rules violation case that included a charge of lack of institutional control.
Ole Miss had also self-imposed other punishments in anticipation of the ruling, including scholarship reductions and recruiting restrictions. The NCAA on Friday banned the Rebels from the postseason for the 2018 season as well.
The complicated case consisted of 21 alleged violations, including 15 that were Level I, which the NCAA considers the most serious.
