Michigan State will not sit Miles Bridges despite alleged payments

Many top college basketball teams are having to figure out if key players can safely play in upcoming games after Friday’s bombshell Yahoo report.

One of those teams is the Michigan State Spartans, who have determined that there are no issues with star forward Miles Bridges’ eligibility going forward.

MSU Interim AD Bill Beekman: “After learning of the allegations in yesterday’s Yahoo! Sports article, our compliance office conducted a thorough internal review. Michigan State presented its findings to the NCAA, and Miles Bridges has been cleared for competition moving forward."

Bridges was mentioned in the report, though if it’s any consolation to Michigan State, there was no smoking gun demonstrating that he himself did anything wrong or even knew about any violations. That was probably a factor in his clearance.
