History of Ole Miss Rebels football
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ole Miss Rebels, the football team of the University of Mississippi, was founded in 1893. The state's first football team,[citation needed] the Rebels currently play in the FBS Subdivision of NCAA Division 1 Football and in the West Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).
Ole Miss has made three national championship appearances (1959, 1960, 1962), won one national championship (1960), and won six SEC championships (1947, 1954, 1955, 1960, 1962, 1963).[1][2][3]
In 2019, the program received one of the biggest punishments ever issued by the NCAA for recruiting and academic violations: a two-year postseason ban, three years of probation, a four-year ban on certain scholarships, and the erasure of 33 wins from 2010 to 2016.[citation needed]
