Summary
Mississippi State learned earlier today that they will be sanctioned in two sports due to charges of academic misconduct involving a part time student tutor.
The Bulldogs will now serve three year's probation and suffer scholarship losses in both sports in addition to other penalties.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Boneyard with Steve Robertson. As always, I am your good friend and host Steve Robertson here on the Maroon Friday edition of the yard. It is a high school football Friday. A lot to talk about. I really wanted to talk a lot about high school football today, but that will not be the case. |
| 0:27.2 | I really wanted to spend a lot of time today talking about Tommy Stevens earning the QB1 designation for Mississippi State football, but we're not going to spend a lot of time talking |
| 0:33.9 | about that. |
| 0:35.3 | I'd like to sit here and talk to you about the fact that |
| 0:37.9 | Jake Mangum texts me last night to say that after a rain shortened game he was on his way |
| 0:44.2 | to see nickel back for the first time but I can't do that either no today is a sad day |

| 1:53.0 | what is to come, and what it all means. |
