Ahead of SEC Spring Meetings, On3 <\/a>reports that Texas football head coach Steve Sarkisian might be fined for his recent negative comments against Ole Miss football\u2019s academic standards. \u201cAt Texas, we will only take 50 percent of a player\u2019s academic credit hours,\u201d Sarkisian reportedly said. \u201cBut at Ole Miss, they can take you. All you have to do is take basket weaving, and you can get an Ole Miss degree.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 despite no public comments from the Rebels\u2019 management, extensive discussions have taken place on their actions. They want a fine to be imposed on the two coaches based on the SEC\u2019s bylaws. 10.2.3 Bylaw says coaches and staff should \u2018avoid making any derogatory statements\u2019 about another member institution\u2019s athletics program, facilities or educational opportunities. Bylaw 10.5.2 says coaches and administrators shall \u2018refrain from public criticism of other member institutions, their staffs or players.\u2019 Those provisions are the core of the current Ole Miss complaint.\u201d<\/p>\n
