Tunsil admits he received money from Ole Miss

Justin Ford / USA TODAY Sports

Ole Miss is facing allegations of major NCAA rules violations, and the latest development won't help the program's case.

Former offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil admitted at the NFL draft Thursday night that he received money from an Ole Miss coach while attending the school.

"I'd have to say yeah," Tunsil said, when asked if there was an exchange between him and his coach for money.

Tunsil made the comment after screenshots of a text message conversation with Rebels assistant athletic director John Miller were posted on Instagram. Tunsil's account has since been deactivated.

Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze has maintained his program's innocence throughout the NCAA's investigation.
