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

[BIG ERN]

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.

I'm not sure what is the more egregious lie to the recruits in the article--the downplaying of sanctions at Ole Miss, or that Ole Miss would contend for one or more national championships.

Imo, this has became much more important. We need Dixon eligible after what I saw Saturday from him.

I'd agree on this for sure. We need someone quick off the edge

Plus he has 3 years of eligibility left, will develop a ton yet.

Looks like we could find out tomorrow about Dixon's status for next year!

Confirmed Ole Miss still dirty AF?

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.
