Women\u2019s basketball and track and field are also mentioned in the allegations.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The university released a response to the notice, in which it agrees that several \u201Cserious violations have occurred\u201D due to \u201Cintentional misconduct\u201D by former employees and \u201Cactions of individual boosters,\u201D but does not agree on all of the facts surrounding them. The university believes that five of the 27 violations should be classified differently.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a result of the violations, Ole Miss claims it has taken \u201Cseveral corrective actions\u201D and the school said it self-imposed penalties.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe University has accepted responsibility for the violations that occurred and self\u2010imposed meaningful penalties. While discussed in more detail below, they collectively and&amp;nbsp;generally include the termination of four coaches, including the only two involved head coaches&amp;nbsp;still employed when the violations were discovered; the disassociation of every involved&amp;nbsp;booster; a post\u2010season ban in women\u2019s basketball; a double\u2010digit reduction of scholarships in&amp;nbsp;the football program; a significant reduction in off\u2010campus evaluation days and official and&amp;nbsp;unofficial visits in football and track and field; violation\u2010specific rules education across all&amp;nbsp;involved sports; and a $159,325.00 financial penalty. In every one of these situations, the&amp;nbsp;University carefully weighed the appropriate range of penalties and erred toward the upper&amp;nbsp;limits.\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;strong&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;Will Hugh Freeze have to testify in Laremy Tunsil lawsuit?\u200B&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The university also vowed to pursue a \u201Cproactive approach to compliance issues and exemplary cooperation throughout this process,\u201D and acknowledged that \u201Cthe proper classification is Level I\u200B\u201D for several of the allegations.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The NCAA Committee on Infractions will assess the situation before ultimately deciding the university\u2019s penalties.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite the notice and response, however, the university indicated it does not want to move forward with the case until the situation concerning alleged payments former offensive tackle&amp;nbsp;Laremy Tunsil&amp;nbsp;received while with the program is resolved.&amp;nbsp;Ole Miss said it has requested not to appear in front of the committee this summer.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
