On Tuesday, Mississippi State released documents revealing the university had disassociated a booster. A letter to the booster from Mike Glazier, MSU’s outside counsel for NCAA compliance and infraction matters, said the booster had “engaged in impermissible contact with the prospective student-athlete and that other violations of NCAA rules may have occurred.”
MSU’s Senior Associate Athletic Director for Compliance Bracky Brett requested an interview with the booster to be done by a representative of the NCAA, but the booster refused. The document to the booster was dated July 13, 2012.
Earlier this year, Bulldog freshman Will Redmond was the subject of an NCAA interview. Former wide receivers coach Angelo Mirando helped recruit Redmond, and Mirando resigned from the team for personal reasons Aug. 19. The two incidents have not been connected, though.
According to Brett, the investigation is very close to the end and does not appear to be an infraction. It is more narrow and focused. MSU has taken many proactive measures in this investigation and will update the media when it is complete.
