Hello Andy,
got a hypothetical question for you and I hope I can explain this the
way I want it to come out. In the past teams have lost star players for
the year right before Selection Sunday and some experts have said that
the committee needs to take into account the team that actually will
play in the tournament when seeding, not necessarily the team if they
had their missing star player. To me this makes sense but doesnt really
sound fair. Taken that in reverse, IF the NCAA was to clear Renardo
Sidney right before the tourney, could you justify the committee
elavating Miss State a seed or two using the same logic. That said, do
you think he is ever deemed eligble? By the way, this is a joke, clear
him or ban him, dont levae it in limbo. Thanks Andy</p><h6 style="float: left;" class="sn">Andy Katz<div style="font-size: xx-small; display: inline; font-weight: normal;">(11:24 AM)</div></h6>
The
selection committee would want to see how the Bulldogs played with him.
At this point, it might be hard to put him in the lineup without
disrupting the chemistry of the squad. The NCAA has won. They have
dragged out the case to where he won't play this season. Now they
should just try on working on him playing next season.</p>

once they sent the findings, they should have already had a response as to what the conclusion would be if we were to agree to them...
we sent them in a long time ago and there is no excuse whatsover for them to not let us know the ruling...
that's why I started the 17ing thread... I know everybody is tired of this **** just like I am but we should have a response... just wondering if anybody knew why they were sitting on it

Difficult ,I Know.
I heard a week or two back that the NCAA was waiting on receiving a payback schedule from Sidney/Family. The problem most of us have is that we do not know how much the NCAA expects to be paid back. I'm certain the NCAA knows and most likely Sidney's family knows. As much as we want to know everything, that $$$ Figure is none of our business, especially if the family has no way to pay it back right now.
My speculation is he will never play this year and will go somewhere toplay professionally next year. If he decides to play at MSU (I doubt that) then he is still stuck in having to pay back some amount of money the NCAA says was illegal before they will release him to play - Even next year.
My speculation is that he will not playat any NCAA school until he sets up a payback schedule and maybe not even then until he pays back the money they think he benefited from during his high school days.
Hea - I was serious. Anything can happen and I guess it did.

soon regarding this matter. I believe that a couple of games ago even the most diehard fans came to the realization that Sidney would not play this year and therefore the threads stopped. However, if there is not a ruling or decision by Sidney to go pro before the end of the season we will soon start seeing threads speculating whether he will play next year. I hate that it has come down like this because I really believe that despite the "coachspeak" this team has had thoughts of hanging on until Sidney was cleared and that it has affected their play. Further Sidney was the perfect player to pair with Jarvis. They would have been unreal on the frontline together.
Hence, I am not responding substantively to your post. I will also posit that I like the song which inspired your username. Things are ok with me these days. Got a good job, got a good office. Got a new wife, got a new lifeand the family's fine. So I'm happy.
to make a decision about Sidney during the basketball season because of the potential media and fan reaction both positive and negative. They will announce their decision during the summer when the spotlight is off. I suspect that a preliminary decision has already been rendered and given to the Sidney family and MSU on a confidiental level with the understanding that full disclosure is TBD. The worst thing that happen in this case was the hiring of Jackson as the Sidney attorney. His adversial posturing and discrimination allegations pushed the NCAA toward a non-cooperative mode and Sidney and MSU fans are feeling the results of these tactics. The NCAA turtle is in its shell and will only come out when things are calm and safe again.
