Ole Miss finally received the verdict from the NCAA Committee on Infractions; it included an additional bowl ban, a ruling chancellor Jeff Vitter said the school would “vigorously” fight.
The ban could be lifted, but the program’s problems have continued to mount from a public relations standpoint. Yahoo! Sports noted that some current Rebel players who wished to possibly transfer had retained the services of Thomas Mars, an Arkansas-based attorney — the same Thomas Mars who represented former Rebels coach Houston Nutt in his quest for an apology from Ole Miss months ago.
Ole Miss has lifted its restrictions on current players’ ability to transfer and to what schools.
