Ole Miss faces its second NCAA probation in seven years after the school's internal investigation confirmed that all or part of nine of the 15 allegations were ``substantially correct.''
The Southeastern Conference school admitted to a ``lack of institutional control'' - a major allegation - in a program recently on probation.
``Given the 1986 case and the problems that we had at that time, the general report indicates that we have not lived up to the commitments that we made relative to the type program that we would run,'' university chancellor Gerald Turner said during a teleconference after the school's 400-page response was made public.
In other college football:
An internal investigation of grade-fixing involving Norfolk State football players found no wrongdoing by former coach Willard Bailey, the school said.
However, the committee conducting the investigation said it found some apparent regularities in grade corrections.
The committee attributed the problem to lax administrative controls. The panel recommended tighter oversight for student course withdrawals, a written policy on submitting supplementary grades and the separation of coaching and teaching duties.
