You are ready for Don Jackson and the Sidney family to give up and realize Renardo won't play college basketball.

We don't need this kind of fight with the NCAA. Also buy that Don Jackson has his own agenda and isn't really trying to get his client cleared to play this year. He's got longer term goals here.

This is beyond ridiculous. If the family has nothing to hide, there is no reason not to turn over the bank records. If the family does have something to hide, just send the kid to play in Europe for a year and stop wasting everyone's time.

but at the same time, i don't really see this as our fight. I see this as his and renardo's fight, and we could possibly benefit from the outcome of said fight.

Sidney will never be cleared and quite frankly I have a feeling he's a bad apple so I'm not sure I want him anyway. But....anything that causes the NCAA grief, time, money and possibly some bad press, I'm all for it.

I am over the fact that he is going to play for State so anything that Jackson now does has no bearing on Mississippi State.

I said from the beginning that I wished Coach Stansbury never got involved with this. I never thought this guy would be eligible. It is time to move on.

As long as there continues to be no downside to MSU and there is still a chance, no matter how slim that he might eventually qualify. As it stand right now the fight between the NCAA and the Sidneys has had no negative effect on MSU. But if he should somehow receive amateur status, the benefit would be great.</p>

15 game suspension and see ifit flies.

Say you were stupid, etc..etc...and I bet they would let him play.If not, then make the racist charge.

Renardo signing with MSU means we're playing with house money. Jackson's just doing his best to see that the blackjack dealers NCAA don't take it all back.

it starts to affect the progress of the team.

on another note, if they did drop it completely, don't you think the IRS would be notified that this family wasn't willing to provide tax and bank records so that their son could receive a full scholarship and play basketball? even if they aren't officially notified, i imagine the Sydney's will be audited within the next year.</p>

Even if they did see the bank records and found something there, why would they notify the IRS? And whose to say that if there is something in there that would affect his eligibility that would have anything at all to do with whether or not they properly reported income to the IRS?

give them the chance to not only win this battle but to also thwart future battles by showing what trouble can come with starting a battle in the first place

they hold all the cards and can play them as they see fit.

1. The NCAA moves slow on these things. If you want your answer tomorrow, or even a month from now, then you don't realize what a slow moving morass of bureaucratic gobbledegook the NCAA is at its core.

2. If an illiterate, 30-year-old Jerrell Powe can be playing football for Ole Miss, then the Sidney situation is a no-brainer.

is there are some sports fans in the irs who read about recruiting.................so. as far as the reporting, there seems to me a high likelyhood that someone who would accept illicit payments for athletic prowess might also not report that money to the irs. i mean lots of folks compartmentalize but to take under the table money and then be so scrupulous as to report the income, thereby leaving a perfect paper trail???? could be but i'm thinking not likely.

The NCAA will never do this to every student athlete who is signed. if they did, there would be no college athletics. it is ridiculous to single him out and I think MSU has nothing to lose in this unless we play him without clearane which we won't. I asked one of our basketball coaches last weekend if Sydney was a bad apple and he said no. The Kodi deal was nothing more than something that happens every day in pick up games. I hope the kid gets to play and I hope Jackson sues the crap out of the NCAA.
