The SEC felt Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss did nothing wrong with regards to their handling of Austin Simmons’ availability status ahead of the Rebels’ win over Arkansas on Sept. 13.
However, the league did use the scenario to send out continuing education to schools about its availability report rules.
“In the situation involving the SEC quarterback last week, he was listed as Probable on the Initial Report and Available on each subsequent Availability Report,” the email from SEC associate commissioner Garth Glissman reads.
It is an availability report, it’s not a specific injury report.
It’s an availability report and if a player is going to be available to play then they shouldn’t be on there.
