Return to the norm for social momentum... One Miss school on probation, CHECK

Double-digit sounds a lot bigger than it is. It's three players from each of four classes.

If there's not a reduction in the top-line 85 number, then Ole Miss won't see its number of schollies reduced. They'll oversign less than usual and force less underperforming players out through medical hardships, violating team rules, etc.

This is just their own self sanctioning if I understand it. The fallout from this laremy tunsil thing seems like it could bring more. The question for Ole Miss becomes now, are they a GT or a UNC to the infractions committee?

Yes, I should have said my first response was "double-digit schollies seems like a really big self-sanction penalty." Actually it only reduces the classes and they'll still get to 85 players.

The maximum class sizes have always seemed completely meaningless. Doesn't Alabama or Tennessee sometimes sign like 30 guys?

Should just do an Auburn and use the Jedi "Nothing to see here, please move along" method.

NCAA is likely to increase these penalties. Some of it's about fixing ACT tests--more than once.
Plus, this doesn't include the Tunsil draft day stuff that came out. That's likely to add to the sanctions.
But even with all this--they only caught Ole Miss in places where Ole Miss got sloppy. Same stuff goes on at other schools (Auburn, Tennessee who are simply much more adept at cheating. Ole Miss is amateur hour--the coach was TEXTING Tunsil on where to go for money. SEC cheating standards are much higher than that. The NCAA will impose stiffer penalty, and the SEC will double it for gettin' caught.
