Ex-Ole Miss players say they were misled about NCAA investigation

I found it odd that Breon Dixon didn't apply for immediate eligibility according to this article. Anyone know the reasoning on this?

I think (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong) that Dixon said he was waiting to see what shook out with Shea Patterson at Michigan.  I believe Dixon said something to the effect that Michigan was going to fight like crazy to get Patterson immediately eligible and once that happened, the rest of the Ole Miss transfers would also be granted immediate eligibility.  As to why he wasn't included in the article, perhaps Dixon transferred to Nebraska later than the other players mentioned in the article transferred to their respective schools.

So I don't know the details but is it a given that Dixon is in if Patterson is in?  I have assumed that is the case but it's been just that an assumption.  

It's not a given, but it would be difficult for the NCAA to rule one Ole Miss transfer immediately eligible and not let the others be immediately eligible, as well.  Patterson's case would set the precedent for the Ole Miss players who transferred.
