Ole Miss could will find out on Friday whether the NCAA's Committee on Infractions holds the program culpable on its 21 alleged infractions, according to a report from the Clarion Ledger.
According to the Ledger, the committee will deliver a decision at 9:30 a.m. ET — 11 weeks after the program underwent an NCAA hearing in mid-September. The decision will be made public later in the day. The decision may also detail any punishments for participants in the case, including former coach Hugh Feeze.

Fifteen of Ole Miss' 21 alleged infractions are Level I violations, which range from academic fraud to boosters paying prospective recruits. The most seriouis allegation Ole Miss faces is lack of institutional control. The program already self-imposed several penalties on itself, including a reduction of 11 scholarships over the course of four years, a $150,000 fine and a ban on postseason play in 2017.
This has been a long and winding road for Ole Miss, which included former coach Houston Nutt claiming the school defamed him by claiming many of the alleged infractions happened during his tenure. Freeze also resigned from the school when it was discovered he made several phone calls to an escort service on his university-issued cell phone.
