Reports on Wednesday night said that Jordan Wilkins was rule academically ineligible for the upcoming 2016 Ole Miss football season. Usually these revelations come about because a student-athlete did not hit the books. Therefore, the loss of a year of eligibility is fitting punishment for their laziness. However, allegedly, an academic advisor mistakenly gave Wilkins incorrect information as to the number of credits he had. He achieved the grades but the advisor gave him bad advisement.
As an Ole Miss fan, I am aware of implication to the team on the field of play. I realize how not having him on the field may cause them to have to play some younger players.
