When is MSU going to finally get what they deserve?

As far as any concrete proof goes, they were the only ones who were definitively caught offering money to Cam Newton. Yet somehow the NCAA never made its way over to Starkville for that...

Now we know that Leo Lewis was given $15,000 by Ole Miss, and there is supposedly a tape recording of his mother spelling out what it would take to sign her kid in which she details what other schools were offering. Then he goes and signs with State.

Why is Mississippi State constantly allowed to offer money to kids with no repercussions?

Because they don't win big enough to matter. If they had beaten Bama like OM had they would be more of a target.

Well they are the last school to be punished in the league by the NCAA for paying recruits, but it was a quiet year long investigation, not a leak filled 5 year colonoscopy

Understandable that Georgia would go after MSU since they are pretty much the Ole Miss of the East.

They still sucked after all that. At least Ole Miss beat Bama after selling their soul.

Dan Mullen is 2-32 against teams that finish the season ranked in the Top 25 since he's been in Starkville. All while paying players. It amazes me when people act like he's a great coach.

Kentucky has a better record against Top 25 teams!

It appears there is somewhat of a sweet spot when it comes to NCAA sanctions. You have to have won just enough to where people will actually care about the sanctions, but not so much that you are making the NCAA boatloads of money.

Yes we were and it sent us into the Croom decade. Ironically, an OM player was given immunity in 02 to snitch on us. Kind of ironic eh.

Funny, I guess it is true that what goes around comes around.

MSU didn't offer money to Newton.

They were asked, their boosters tried, and they failed to come up with the money.

Which, arguably, is worse.

Leo Lewis was originally committed to Alabama. Seems to reason that if State bought him too, Alabama would have already handed over allegations to the NCAA.

Being located in Starkville is basically like already having the death penalty. Any further punishment would be cruel and unusual.
