OXFORD, Miss. – In early June, Ole Miss made public its response to the NCAA’s notice of allegations received earlier in the year. Wednesday, the school made public what the NCAA enforcement staff had to say about that response.
The next step is a hearing before the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions that has been set for September 11. Three days have been set aside for the hearing, though it could be concluded in less time.
Here are some highlights of the NCAA’s response:
Allegation No. 9: The enforcement staff stands firm in its allegation that former assistant Chris Kiffin and former administrative staffer Barney Farrar arranged for about $2,800 in merchandise from Rebel Rags to be given to prospects Leo Lewis and Kobe Jones and Lindsey Miller, the stepfather of former player Laremy Tunsil.
