OXFORD, Miss. – The University of Mississippi athletic program is under investigation by the NCAA for potential rules violations in multiple sports.

Athletic director Ross Bjork confirmed to Yahoo Sports on Wednesday that Ole Miss “is working with the NCAA” in an ongoing investigation. Bjork said the school has not received a Notice of Allegations from the NCAA, nor does it have a date set for a hearing before the NCAA Committee on Infractions. He declined further comment.

Multiple sources told Yahoo Sports the Mississippi football and women’s basketball programs are subjects of the investigation. One source with knowledge of the probe said the bulk of the potential violations relate to women’s basketball. The source said the current football staff of head coach Hugh Freeze is not believed to be implicated in any major violations, and that much of the football inquiry dates back to actions by a previous Ole Miss staff. Freeze is in his third year at the school. The source said there have been no new allegations, all NCAA interviews have completed and the school is waiting for the NCAA Department of Enforcement's next step.

Bjork fired women’s basketball coach Adrian Wiggins and two of his assistants in October 2012 after alleged wrongdoing came to light. The football investigation also has been ongoing for more than a year, multiple sources said.

Yahoo Sports filed a Freedom of Information request with Mississippi on Sept. 2 requesting all correspondence between the school and the NCAA Department of Enforcement between Sept. 1, 2013, and Sept. 1, 2014. The request was returned Sept. 26 showing 19 secondary or Level III violations in that time period, with names and affected sports redacted.

The next Committee on Infractions hearings are scheduled for Oct. 16-18, multiple sources said. A Georgia men’s swimming case is on the docket for that meeting, a source said, but there could be additional cases heard. Mississippi is not on the agenda for that meeting.

Much of the college football world is focused on the state of Mississippi this week. The undefeated, 11th-ranked Rebels host undefeated, third-ranked Alabama and undefeated, sixth-ranked Texas A&M visits undefeated, 12th-ranked Mississippi State on the same Saturday afternoon. In their eternal struggle to move up the Southeastern Conference pecking order, the state’s two programs have landed on the NCAA blotter repeatedly.

Mississippi’s football program has been sanctioned three times for major violations. In 1994, the Rebels were given a one-year television ban, a two-year postseason ban and four years probation, along with scholarship reductions. In 1986, Ole Miss was given a one-year ban from both television and the postseason, along with two years probation. And in 1959, the program was put on a one-year probation.

Mississippi State has had four major football infractions cases that resulted in sanctions. Last year the Bulldogs were put on two years’ probation, fired an assistant coach and disassociated a booster in relation to improper benefits given to a recruit. In 2004, the program was given a one-year postseason ban, scholarship cuts and recruiting restrictions. In 1996, Mississippi State was put on a year’s probation, with scholarship and recruiting reductions. And in 1975, the program received a two-year TV ban and two-year bowl ban.

Mississippi State also has had two other major infractions cases that resulted in sanctions against other sports, one in 1986 and one in 1967.

It's a two-year old story that doesn't even involve Freeze or his staff. It's literally something that Forde is throwing out there just because the two biggest schools in the state are in the limelight this weekend and he wanted to post something that got hits and justified his paycheck.

 

Nothing to see. Keep moving right along.

Oregon proves yet again they are frauds.

I'm doing my best to avoid ESPN for anything I can. I get my scores elsewhere and unless there is a game on that I really want to watch, I'll go elsewhere for games too.


They're getting away from the actual core of sports and are more focused on shock, gossip, and headlines. (And its clearly spilling over to other places) I've had it.


Sports outlets need to get back to basics.

They are so hard to gauge. I thought they had turned a corner, because I thought as a whole the Pac-12 had turned that corner. Maybe not.

Forde is a phony. The more he writes, and talks the less and less I like of him over the years.

I did too.  

 

I don't think they have their answer at head coach, so that doesn't help, but I thought they'd be able to put it all together this year.

 

I think they're missing Chip Kelly and his innovations on offense more than they thought they would.

---

Oregon loses at least one game a year that they shouldn't. They've been doing it for years now, I don't know why anyone would think differently of them tbh. 

 

Hell I'm even going back to the Dennis Dixon days where Florida leap frogged them into the NC and won. Oregon always screws it up.

No question they miss Kelly offensively.

What about the defense?

It's not looking good for BYU going into the half down 28-14.

---

Is todasy the first time ever Ohio State plays at Maryland? Or even the first time the teams meet?

 

I can't wait to turn my TV on shortly before noon, hopefully to see that game.

what about it

Cougs go down.  Too bad.  Was hoping they'd run the table and give the committee something to think about.  Once Taysom Hill went down they had no shot.  Just dont have enough players around that kid.

Scouting well is all that matters.  Draft philosophy is all fluff.

Maryland should have spent all of the money on new uniforms and paint to buy new stadium video boards. They are so small I think of high school scoreboards.

 

I can't even tell they are the Terrapins anymore with those ugly helmets. Bring back the Terps!

mississippi state looks strong. they should make a huge leap in the rankings if they win.

Why can't the Gators do anything against Tennessee? Halftime score: 3-0 Volunteers. Thanks God the Buckeyes are on TV.

---

The Gators look worse than the Jaguars do, and that's ridiculous. This program has fallen so hard due to inept coaching. 

 

I think the players have given up on the coach and if they had a chance they would play better.

yeah thank god one of your 40 teams is on tv.

 

if you were an actual gators fan, you would know why they cant do anything against tennessee

Lol at Tennessee losing to this awful UF team. If they couldn't beat this garbage team, they may never beat UF again.

Where did you get that idea from? You know I like only two college teams and not knowing something has nothing to do with being a real Gators fan.
