As the investigation into Ole Miss has been concluded and the Rebels self-imposed a bowl ban for 2017, more and more people were intrigued as to who the player was that allegedly took anywhere from $13,000 to $15,600 from Ole Miss boosters in coordination with a member of the coaching staff’s knowledge, but went to play college football elsewhere.
More and more people were convinced that “Student-Athlete B” was Leo Lewis, a linebacker for Mississippi State, due to rumors and Ole Miss fans got #madonline in response, in some cases wishing for a bounty system to be set up to injure Lewis in the Egg Bowl.
