I was disagreeing with Parrish's stance. There is no risk to State.

And like I said, I seem to remember that Jackson had a very good record in eligibility cases prior to falling short with Powe.

....in him being initially cleared and then information comes out after the fact that compromises his amateur status and all of the sudden we have had a season
with someone who shouldn't have been an amateur? I think that's possible. Just because the NCAA initially clears somebody doesn't mean that
something can't come out later, i.e. Rose and Mayo. What can they do to State? Whatever they want.

We've hired a lawyer with strong NCAA ties to do our due diligence on Sidney. If he clears him, we'll be fine even if something does come out later that might cause him to be ineligible. He'd still be ineligible, but our due diligence would keep us from facing any sanctions or penalties. Also, comparing Sidney at MSU to Mayo at USC isn't really a valid comparison. Mayo's eligibility problems are a direct result of USC's NCAA violations. If Sidney has any eligibility problems, they're the result of USC's (and maybe UCLA's) NCAA violations, not MSU's. |

It is clear to me there are coaches out there that simply have no regard for the institution they are employed by

While i disagree with Parrish when he suggests Stans may be the next coach out due to improper benefits, i dont disagree with Parrish in his overall point
which i think the article title describes well-
"One-and-done Mayo costs Floyd reputation, job; coaches beware" Coaches beware. Beware of sketch players because taking the risk and signing them may totally 17 you and your program in the end. Mayo with USC, potentially Rose with Memphis, and now Sidney with MSU. It could totally F with Stans's reputation and the MSU program if he is admitted and after the fact is found to have been on the take this whole time. I am all for Sidney playing at MSU because i want MSU to be great...but lets not kid ourselves and actually try to suggest that he is an amateur. He has bounced around schools for the last 4 years, moved out to LA for exposure, the most crooked man in basketball paid for his family to move and for his dad to...well, who really knows what 'consulting' actually is in that regard, and played for an AAU started by his dad and set up as a non-profit that has taken in money yet not reported it to the IRS. Oh, then there is that whole housing thing. Yep, there is for sure a logical explanation as to how they could afford to live in those houses at those rates and it was all totally legit without any sort of favors. That isnt an amateur. Thats a kid whose talent is being used to help improve the lives of his family. Right or wrong, thats the reality of the situation. And the NCAA says that players who are compensated like he is suspected of being compensated really isnt an amateur. |

Floyd didn't hurt his reputation... | #28 | ||

because Mayo was one and done. The reason his reputation was hurt was because of the improprieties. You think Jim Calhoun's reputation is hurt because of
Carmelo Anthony?

Stansbury is 17-44 against the top 25, and 51-82 overall against the top 50...I rest my case (numbers compliments of ScoobaDawg)

....but the case to watch is Memphis. If Memphis gets hammered for taking prospect with questionable SAT scores at the time (even though they were cleared by
the NCAA), then we'd better watch out.
