Steve Robertson covers Mississippi State University athletics for Scout.com. He submitted a public records request to Ole Miss that asked for a copy of the NCAA notice. Ole Miss provided a copy to Mr. Robertson but redacted the name of the booster. He filed a public records complaint with the Ethics Commission in March (p.7). What is interesting is that Mr. Robertson states in his complaint that

The names of the boosters named in this document were also redacted..The University elected to disassociate these boosters from the University, which speaks to the culpability of the individuals in question.

The University, a state funded institution, has defended itself at great expense, yet chooses to allow these offenders who put the athletics department at great risk to enjoy anonymity. The great people f the state of Mississippi have a right to know who these individuals are.

Other IHL institutions have publicized these names, so there is ample precedent to support this request.
