OT: Yahoo Report implicates Miles Bridges in Dirty Dealings with ASM Sports Agency
Looks as if Izzo will have to answer more uncomfortable questions at his press conferences. They go into detail that Miles Bridges Mom took $500 on some documents at the agency. This would make him ineligible immediately and probably would spell the end for Coach Izzo at MSU.

Is Big 10 basketball SEC football? And if so, what does that mean? I'm so confused.

They should make Tom Izzo wear a Green $ -sign Ribbon next to his Teal Sexual Assault Ribbon

While I'm not surprised, I am disappointed. The shadow of impropriety will cover everyone, including those institutions that did nothing wrong and recruit on an uneven playing field.

Michigan slices through the competition like a hot knife through butter as a 1 seed, as the Tournament is filled with 63 other teams with losing records because everybody else is ineligible. Rematch with Alabama A&M for the national title.
February 23rd, 2018 at 7:32 AM ^

Closing on an elite basketball recruit is a lot like closing on a house; only it's a great deal more expensive to close on an elite basketball recruit.

says National Champions either way!! And Beilein will get to cut that net that he so incredibly deserves to cut. I'd give nearly anything for that man to get a title.
February 23rd, 2018 at 8:03 AM ^
will be that the amount is minimal, it was Bridges' mom, not him and that Izzo is free of all this. Of course that doesnt hold up beacuse Izzo had dinner with Dawkins, MSU was heavily involved in the Brian Bowen race, and that this is very possibly the tip of the iceberg.
February 23rd, 2018 at 8:22 AM ^
I was just listening to 97.1, and you are literally correct. A Sparty fan made all these points, and the hosts agreed - small amount of money, Izzo may not have known, Izzo had a relationship with the agent (so meeting with him may mean nothing), etc. Plus, this is separate from Nasser, Travis Walton, Aplling/Payne, and on, and on, and on. Basically, if Izzo was found standing in a room with 50 dead people and a gun in his hand, we'd have to wait for all the facts to come out before we make any rash decisions...
February 23rd, 2018 at 9:41 AM ^
you're suggesting Sparty fans are deliberately clueless in their own mind game of Clue? I think it was really the evil prosecutor with a candlestick in the main ballroom. Izzo is really a Sgt. Shultz type, he knows nothing about anything. Things just happen and then you clean up the spill on whatever aisle Engler decides will make the mess go away without culpability.
February 23rd, 2018 at 10:05 AM ^
I suggest it was Joel Ferguson, at the Jenison, with the Microphone
February 23rd, 2018 at 11:23 AM ^
I say it was Mitch Lyons, at Munn, with the Microphone
February 23rd, 2018 at 12:48 PM ^
definitely involved. has been for decades.
February 23rd, 2018 at 10:26 AM ^
"MSU's troops have successfully repelled the Crusaders. The godless invaders from ESPN and Yahoo! have been slaughtered, and once again Izzo has proven victorious..."
February 23rd, 2018 at 10:49 AM ^
February 23rd, 2018 at 12:00 PM ^
the same thing. Espn, gone. Yahoo, gone. It's time for them to revew their Sport and Sporting News subscriptions.

"A big nothingburger. There was no collusion with the sports agents! The sports agents didn't even try to change the kids vote on which school to attend. Tom Izzo was a glorified coffee boy. He wasn't a central figure in the program..."
February 23rd, 2018 at 10:30 AM ^
that Izzo talked the killer out of killing more people and while giving him the gun convinced the killer that he can live in his basement.
February 23rd, 2018 at 11:46 AM ^
In other words, Sparty has adopted the Penn State way of doing business.

OMG, please everyone go over to RCMB and read the thread on this Yahoo story. I have never encountered a group of people more devoted to the idea of "due process" than MSU fans have (interestingly) suddenly become...
February 23rd, 2018 at 9:41 AM ^
their burden of proof continues to rise to ridiculous levels.
Mike Valenti - "Ok, listen, if you show me a video, with all parties wearing name tags, where an agent handed an envelope of money to Tom Izzo to provide to Miles Bridges mom, and audio confirming exactly what the payment was for, with clear sight of Tom Izzo's face during the entire transaction, and then a subsequent video of Izzo handing the money to Miles Bridges or his Mom, and saying THIS IS MONEY FOR YOU TO PLAY BASKETBALL AT MICHIGAN STATE, I will be the first to say to burn the program to the ground. But until such time this is all just speculation, and frankly, really embarassing for Yahoo Sports."
February 23rd, 2018 at 9:55 AM ^
Well, duh. Crimes cannot be confirmed without at least 400 eye witnesses...

testifying in the R Kelly trial:
Prosecutor:
Mr. Chappelle, what would it take to convince you that R. Kelly is guilty?
Dave Chappelle:
Okay, I'd have to see a video of him singing "Pee On You," two forms of government ID, a police officer there to verify the whole thing, four or five of my buddies and Neal taking notes, and R. Kelly's grandma to confirm his identity.
R. Kelly's Grandma:
That's my Robert, always peeing on people.

Everyone knows Izzo has skeletons in the closet, but Miles Bridges doesn't turn down millions of NBA dollars to come back to MSU so his mother can pocket hundreds.
February 23rd, 2018 at 8:43 AM ^
they didn't pocket money before coming to MSU. These things aren't mutually exclusive.
