The University of Mississippi was adamant when it received the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions findings of wrongdoing into its athletic program and subsequent penalties. From Director of Athletics Ross Bjork to the coaches, no one would block the transfer of any of its student-athletes to another school.

  1. It fully supports the request and agrees to why it should be granted
  2. It has no opinion
  3. It formerly disagrees with the reasoning behind the request, but supports the transfer under normal NCAA guidelines.
