The NCAA upheld Ole Miss’ bowl ban. Here’s why the Rebels’ appeal was still a huge win.

Ole Miss finally got its answer from the NCAA on whether or not it will be eligible to play in a bowl game this season.

The answer is no.

On the eve of a matchup against South Carolina in which the Rebels are favored to win their sixth game of the year, Ole Miss announced that the NCAA has formally upheld the program’s 2018 bowl ban, bringing an end to a months-long appeal process.

That certainly sucks for guys like Jordan Ta’amu, A.J. Brown and Greg Little, who will play their last game as Rebels in the Egg Bowl.
