The University of Mississippi athletics program is under investigation for potential rule violations in multiple sports by the NCAA, as first reported by Pat Forde of Yahoo Sports.

The story by Yahoo Sports says Ole Miss is working with the NCAA in an ongoing investigation involving the football and the women’s basketball teams.

A source told Yahoo Sports that the majority of the allegations came from the women’s basketball program, relating to recruiting violations.

The allegations against the football program do not seem to be related to Hugh Freeze nor to anyone on his coaching staff. The allegations relate to the previous coaching staff, and no new allegations have been brought to the attention of Ole Miss.
