JACKSON, Miss. (AP) -- The attorney for Renardo Sidney says the NCAA has rescheduled meetings with the Mississippi State men's basketball signee and his family for next week.
Meetings at Don Jackson's Montgomery, Ala., law offices were scheduled for Wednesday, but the NCAA asked to move them to Monday and Tuesday.
The NCAA is investigating whether Sidney and his family may have received benefits not allowed under amateurism rules. A Los Angeles Times report citing anonymous sources questioned how the family could afford to live in million-dollar homes and fund a club basketball team after moving to California from Jackson.
Jackson says the family has done nothing wrong and has provided NCAA investigators with documents he hopes will clear the top recruit in time to play next season.
