NCAA places Mississippi State on probation, cuts scholarships

The Associated Press

Mississippi State has been placed on probation by the NCAA for four years, stripped of eight scholarships over the next two seasons and banned from postseason play this season because of recruiting violations.

The NCAA announced today that its infractions committee found two former assistants and several boosters broke recruiting rules between 1998-2002. But allegations of unethical conduct against former coach Jackie Sherrill were dismissed.

Sherrill retired after the 2003 season and was replaced by Sylvester Croom. The Bulldogs (2-5) won their first Southeastern Conference game under Croom, the first black head football coach in SEC history, last Saturday when they upset Florida.

The Bulldogs will lose four scholarships for the 2005 and 2006 seasons, and are limited to 45 expense-paid recruiting visits in each of the 2004-05 and 2005-06 academic years ? 11 per year fewer than the maximum allowed by the NCAA.

Mississippi State in April admitted to secondary rules violations within the football program but denied more serious NCAA allegations of offering to provide cash and other perks to recruits.
 



The curse of Jackie S. lives on.

Oh well ............... at least he, CROOM, has this unknown behind him now. :nod:

I shole hope FAMU don't get the SMU Death Penalty...

speaking of penalties, how many were involved when PV got in trouble? maybe that experience could be used as sort of a guide to predict where FAMU falls

Still four less scholarships won't really hurt Coach Croom, nor the visit, if he streamlines his approach and goes after who he really wants..the postseason ban and four-year ban from conference titles will hurt home than all of that
 
Ay, let's get off of FAMU now. We will NOT be like Mississippi State at all. Yeah, things are perfect over here, but we know how to be good at what we do.
 
FAMU's list was generated showing each violation. I am willing to bet that MSU has just as many...but they only reported to the media that it was something that TWO boosters did. FAMU reports it PER VIOLATION. Each game played by an ineligible player is a violation...if 10 players played an 11 game season...that's 110 violations right there.

Ay yo prince, I'm just hoping those most dreaded words in an NCAA investigation aren't mentioned and said to FAMU: Lack of institutional control with the number of reported violations, it's damn near a certainty that FAMU will get that Lack of institutional control thing slapped in the grill and get that punishment from the NCAA

But back to Miss. St. Croom can still come out roses if he keeps Miss St. respectable over these years. There's only one way to go and that's up.
 
There has been no proven major violation at Alabama State it seems to be a bunch of allegations to railroad Coach LC Coles. I hope the NCAA hurry up so this coach's name can be cleared of any major wrong doing. The Montgomery Advertiser looked into the alleged violations and reviewed evidence given by LC Coles and said they did not see any major violations. Yeah, there may be some petty stuff but that exist at all schools. I think by the NC2A coming, it will do nothing but help LC Coles and reveal the dirt of ASU administration. I do not know what it will mean for ASU if the NC2A finds out the major problem was the Administration. :shame: :shame:
 
Man, it hurts to how they put Croom in this situation. The same thing happen at Auburn when Terry Bowden was coach. First year rank in the top ten but couldn't to go to a post-season game.
 
Croom will be OK.

At 1-3 in the SEC and 2-5 overall, their bowl chances this year were steadily declining anyway. Also, a good coach can makeup for 8 scholarships in a 2 year period.
 
The way I see it, the NCAA BACKED OFF because Croom was not responsiable. Couple that with MS. St. canning Jackie S., whom the NCAA has hated since he was at Texas A&M I believe, they tossed Croom all the presents they could and still hand down punishment. If JS was still there, Ms. St. would have been buried under shat so deep, they would not have been able to breath.

They knew Ms. ST. didn't have a snowball's chance in he!! of going to a bowl game this year, so that penalty is really a non factor.

Ms ST. was always getting good players, but now that THE CURSE, JS, is gone, he will be getting a lot more. I really don't believe those 8 slots will hurt him THAT MUCH........... a little, but not much. As long as kid's see they can still go to a bowl game starting next year, they will come.
