HOOVER, Ala. (AP) — Mississippi is coming off an impressive 10-win season, returns arguably the league’s best quarterback and recently had three of its top players selected in the first round of the NFL draft.
Not many people wanted to talk about that at Southeastern Conference media days.
Instead, the majority of questions focused around the school’s long-running NCAA investigation into the football program that’s approaching four years. Coach Hugh Freeze said on Thursday that he couldn’t discuss details of the case and had no timetable for its resolution, but defended the program’s reputation.
“I have zero interest in cutting corners to be successful, and our staff knows that very well,” Freeze said.
