HOOVER, Ala. (AP) Mississippi, Auburn and South Carolina will be the final three teams at SEC media days on Thursday.
The Rebels figure to be the main attraction in Hoover – mostly because of off-the-field issues. The Rebels are in the midst of an NCAA investigation that’s lasted nearly five years, and now there are 21 alleged violations that include academic, booster and recruiting misconduct.
Adding to the off-the-field misery, former Mississippi coach Houston Nutt filed a civil lawsuit on Wednesday against the university and its athletics foundation, alleging a breach of his severance agreement because of false statements he says school officials made during the ongoing NCAA investigation.
