Way to beat on Mississippin State. Cracking down on Duke would send a message. Cracking down on MSU says the big dogs are still safe. [I]The NCAA has cracked down in some high-profile cases but acknowledges it is not an investigative agency with teams of detectives. In 2010, the organization declared Renardo Sidney ineligible for parts of two seasons after determining that the Mississippi State forward and his family received "preferential treatment." Reebok, the Massachusetts sneaker brand, had sponsored a club team run by Sidney's father. The NCAA determined that the Sidney family benefited financially from the sponsorship deal, receiving merchandise and travel money. Reebok reportedly signed Sidney's father to a $20,000 a year consulting agreement. The NCAA apparently hoped the disciplinary action would discourage others from accepting similar treatment. [/I] There's a picture in the article of a FedEx van out in front of the Bagley house full of Nike goods. Maybe they didn't accept the contents.
