MSU Baseball Penalized by the SEC for a Charity Scrimmage

MSU received a slap on the wrist from the SEC, but this situation is more proof that the NCAA needs to revise their rulebook.

According to the Clarion Ledger, MSU Baseball was penalized by the SEC for the scrimmage that the team held in Jackson last October.  NCAA rules state that preseason intrasquad games that are off campus are prohibited in all sports.  Another rule allows for schools to publicize practices that are conducted at a single designated site, if an institution normally conducts preseason activities at that particular site.  This rule exists for teams such as MSU's golf teams, who will eventually be practicing at Old Waverly.
