Brake now Dangerous curve ahead...Probation could derail Masoli-to-Ole Miss talk

When Jeremiah Masoli pleaded guilty to second-degree burglary in March, he was sentenced to, among other things, 12 months probation. Then, three months later, the quarterback was busted for, possession of marijuana.
That last act led to his permanent dismissal from Oregon. This could play a major role in what his football future holds as now, just as talk of the former Oregon QB enrolling at Ole Miss and playing football for the Rebels in the fall has reached a fever pitch,
Houston Nutt was given clearance by the higher-ups at Ole Miss to pursue the logistical aspects involved in getting Masoli to Oxford, now it appears that, in addition to admittance to grad school and securing a waiver from the NCAA, the probation angle is one of those "logistical aspects" that will have to be overcome in order for Masoli to do what seems inevitable, become a member of the Ole Miss football program.
