LOS ANGELES -- Michigan Wolverines quarterback Shea Patterson still maintains that he left Ole Miss because he was misled by school officials and the coaching staff regarding NCAA violations within the football program.
Patterson, who served as a counselor at the Steve Clarkson Quarterback Retreat in Pacific Palisades over the weekend, told ESPN that he was "told for so long that there was no way" Ole Miss would receive a bowl ban for the 2018 season after the school imposed its own postseason ban for the 2017 season.
"We had put together a really, really good group in the 2016 class and did everything we needed to do, and [Ole Miss] didn't do everything they needed to do," said Patterson, who was ruled eligible to play immediately for Michigan this fall by the NCAA in April.
