Mississippi State athletics has been hit with NCAA penalties.
MSU and the NCAA both announced on Friday that a negotiated resolution has been reached after it was found that in the fall semester of the 2018-19 academic year, a former Mississippi State student and part-time athletics department tutor committed academic misconduct in an online chemistry course that aided 10 football players and a men’s basketball player.
As a result of the resolution, Mississippi State’s penalties include the following:
– Three years of probation for the football and men’s basketball programs.
