Of note in the Ole Miss infractions case: "Booster 5" from a previous case (football, Hugh Freeze Era) was disassociated in 2018 ... but never actually disassociated himself, and Ole Miss kept accepting his money from under a different business name. He's been disassociated for real now. From the report: "(T)he institution was required to disassociate Booster 5 from November 1, 2018, through October 31, 2021. By letter dated November 26, 2018, the institution informed Booster 5 of the disassociation terms, including that the institution could not accept financial assistance or contributions to any of its athletics programs from Booster 5 or any of his business interests. While members of the athletics department and athletics foundation were advised not to accept financial contributions from Booster 5 because of the infractions penalties, the institution did not effectively implement the prohibition on accepting financial contributions from Booster 5’s business interests when its athletics foundation accepted payments from a business interest that was not associated with the prior case. As a result, during the disassociation period, Booster 5 continued to make financial contributions to the institution’s athletics foundation that were related to premium seating at the institution’s athletics events. In total, the institution’s athletics foundation accepted 18 impermissible financial contributions for its athletics program, summing to $109,240 from the business interest of Booster 5."
