Pete Golding defends Ole Miss, wonders why LSU isn’t also being investigated for tampering

SEC Giant Remains Under NCAA Investigation Amid Tampering Allegations

The NCAA is actively investigating Ole Miss football coach Pete Golding for tampering, centered on allegations he directly contacted linebacker Luke Ferrelli — a player under contract with Clemson — with a $1 million offer. If violations are confirmed, penalties could include a six-game suspension for Golding, a postseason ban, scholarship cuts, and a fine up to 20% of the football program's budget.
