If Ole Miss will allow the hired legal counsel to do its job, then maybe some penalties will be waivered.  Don Barrett of the Barrett Law Group is also part of Ole Miss' legal representation.  Barrett is a very good litigator and helped take the big tobacco companies down.

Here's the tag line for the next article on the above link...  "With the commitment of Jerrion Ealy, Ole Miss' 2019 recruiting class surges to No. 12 in the nation..."  Wow, that's quite a "surge".

It is past time to fight back and quit taking bull shit from the NCAA and other schools.  To do this it will take the Court of public opinion instead of the kangaroo court of the NCAA.

Except for the additional one-year bowl ban and limits on unofficial visits, we received basically what we self-imposed. Our appeal is to remove those sanctions. We did not get “hammered.” That would have been the loss of 25-30 scholarships, which some predicted we would get and would indeed have been crippling. (We got just 13 scholarships reduced—only three more than we self imposed).

True, but the "hammering" was the damned foot-dragging by the FNCAA.  The whole thing could and should have been finished much sooner.  But then, we all know that.

SUE THE BASTARDS!!!

The real "hammering" is going to be when ncaa allows underclassmen immediate eligibility with transfers.

They might indeed allow that, but it will set a very dangerous precedent with implications far beyond the Ole Miss case. Where does “being misled” end? What about a player promised a scholarship but told after signing he had to grey shirt? A player promised playing time who does nothing but sit on the bench? A player promised a certain position but moved to another after signing? I can envision lawyers having much better cases with these than Mars has with Ole Miss.
