Podcast Rebellion: Explaining Ole Miss’ new NCAA allegations plus an interview with Sikes Orvis

Related Topics: Podcast

This episode was all set to be a joyous celebration of baseball, with former Rebel slugger Sikes Orvis joining us to discuss this year’s club and their opening weekend sweep of a top-10 ECU team. Then came a news that the football program has self-imposed a bowl ban after receiving an updated list of allegations from the NCAA.

We spend a few minutes discussing those new allegations—particularly the dreaded “lack of institutional control”—and how Ole Miss will handle them moving forward. Does the university have a case to combat some of them? Does Hugh Freeze survive this?

For those of you already sick of NCAA stuff, don’t worry—Sikes still joined us and gave us nearly 30 minutes of baseball talk.
