Well, there is still ample opportunity for them to not do shit. Hello Auburn, I see you and Mr. Cam Newton hanging out over there. But I have FULL confidence in the NCAA to both dig deep into this and levy the appropriate punitive response. FULL confidence.

I actually find it hard to believe the NCAA is actually doing anything... but I'm sure Ole Miss will be cleared of all violations due to the NCAA's massive incompetence

While I do not disagree the NCAA is incompetent, they also don't have a ton they can actually do either.  They have very very little power, they can't make anyone talk to them, and they don't have the power to look into anyones finacial records either.

Someone pretty much needs to be caught with their pants completely down, or they need to get lucky and piggyback on a federal investigation to really get hard and solid evidence.

They took him in because they were good folk and I'm no way steered him to Ole Miss! She also taught Hugh Freeze how to coach and Mike scored "off the charts in Protective Instincts". He also totally didn't read at a 5th grade level when Ole Miss accepted him.

Death penalty??? Just kidding, but they better get a postseason ban and scholarships taken in every single sport they cheated in at the least.

I can't believe that Ole Miss would disgrace our beloved game the way that they do. I'm glad that Michigan runs a clean program, unlike some of those down in Oxford. How DARE they violate the sanctity of women's basketball? Props to Kim Barnes Arico for running a clean program at Michigan.

Ole Miss charged with rules violations?  The football program, too?

Incredible! 

I thought all those 5 stars were headed there due to traditional and current success on the gridiron.  And also for the institution's scholastic reputation.

Dirtiest of the dirty. It's probably unrealistic to expect anything resembling "justice", but it sure would be nice to see them get hit hard.

pretty much every school has bagmen and has some sort of "illicit" benefits tied to the program. I'd rather just be open and honest about it and pay the players then pretend that what Ole Miss is doing is explicitly bad...

we already have a pro football league. if you really believe there is no value to their scholarship then start a movement  so these poor under compensated kids, that by the way most could not even get into a college without an athletic scholarship. can go straight to the pros out of high school.

    leave college to the ones that realize they have almost no chance of ever playing pro ball, and use the scholarship to pay their way thru college.

Lets not pretend they don't. So if the system is going to pay them no matter what, because that is going to happen, would you rather that happen on the surface or underground (keep in mind that as one of the richest universities in the world we would probably benefit from it being on the surface).
