Ole Miss announces self-imposed bowl ban for 2017 season amidst new accusations

Ole Miss announced a self-imposed postseason ban for its football program for the 2017 season on Wednesday. The ban comes after the university received a notice from the NCAA that detailed allegations of eight additional rules violations.

The NCAA has now accused Ole Miss football of 21 total rules violations and charged the university with a lack of institutional control.

The NCAA accused Ole Miss of 13 violations in January 2016 after an investigation that began in 2012. Ole Miss responded to that notice with self-imposed scholarship reduction that would limit the number of players the Rebels could sign to 22 for a four-year period.
