re: Ole Miss says Nkemdiche does not meet academic/other standards for Lott Trophy

On a side note, has he performed at a level on the field that would place him in contention to win it?

No, he has not, which makes it even more unique that Ole Miss would remove him from consideration. If they let the award play out, he didn't have a chance to win it anyway, and it would have saved Ole Miss the potential embarrassment of him winning and then being declared ineligible for a bowl, assuming that is the next logical step in his issues.
