On December 1st the NCAA Death Star led by Mike “Darth” Sheridan struck Ole Miss football with a vengeance. Four years of probation, a minimal fine and losing only 13 scholarships is certainly easy to overcome. But then came the second strike with a second year bowl ban that does not line up with the NCAA penalty matrix.
By doing that, the NCAA hopes that the football “Star Wars” Rebels would disperse to other schools, leaving the Rebels decimated with not enough players to compete in the rugged SEC. That’s where the NCAA underestimated “The Force” of the Rebel faithful.
