Of the eight new charges the NCAA recently levied against Ole Miss (and the 21 in total), the blockbuster is that two Ole Miss boosters paid a recruit at least $13,000 in cash before that recruit decided to play college football elsewhere.

Rebel Grove, Ole Miss' Rivals website, reports that the player Ole Miss boosters allegedly paid is Leo Lewis, a four-star linebacker who went to MSU in the class of 2015. The Rebels, according to reporter Neal McCready, tried to show the SEC some dirt:

Ole Miss, per multiple sources, possesses a recording, and has given the SEC a copy, of Lewis' mother asking Ole Miss for money and detailing incentives she received from other programs, including Mississippi State.
