The Ole Miss Rebels were handed some stiff penalties on Friday morning, stemming from several recruiting violations.

The NCAA extended the Rebels’ self-imposed one-year bowl ban another year and also hit the school with scholarship reductions, probation and other penalties.

However, the Rebels plan to appeal the decision, according to a press conference held by chancellor Jeffrey Vitter and AD Ross Bjork on Friday afternoon.

Vitter and Bjork hammered the NCAA for what they felt was an “unfair” investigation in which the NCAA withheld key information from the university:

Now, the Rebels are gearing up for a long appeals process, one that might take several more months.

Whether the appeal, which will be heard by a different committee, produces more favorable results for the Rebels remains to be seen, but Ole Miss will give it a shot.
