Thursday morning saw the announcement that Ole Miss will receive their NCAA COI punishments within 24 hours, with an anticipated release deadline of 8:30 a.m. CT. The news was further accompanied by a bevy of scoops detailing what transpired in Covington, Kent. back in September, where Ole Miss faced the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions, and Mississippi State linebacker Leo Lewis was the NCAA’s star witness in their case against Ole Miss’ recruiting practices.
In the hours following those reports, the Ole Miss Spirit released audio of Lewis’ mother seemingly admitting that LSU and Mississippi State had offered her and Leo tens of thousands of dollars to play for their respective football programs.
