The NCAA is attempting to put pressure on Ole Miss in regards to their alleged recruiting violations by interviewing players from other SEC programs, according to Pat Forde of Yahoo Sports.

Players from Auburn, Mississippi State, and one other unnamed SEC school - who were also recruited by Ole Miss - have spoken with NCAA enforcement representatives over the summer.

Interviewees were granted immunity from any potential NCAA sanctions in exchange for their truthful cooperation.

Ole Miss is alleged to have committed 13 violations, eight of which were classified as Level I violations, while nine came under the watch of current head coach Hugh Freeze, according to Chip Patterson of CBS Sports.

In order to lessen the blow of the allegations, Ole Miss has planned to impose a reduction of 11 scholarships between the 2015-2018 classes.
