If Izzo signed off, it would seem to me that the NCAA's decision would be almost a foregone conclusion. Given the delay in finding out anything definitive, are you ready to withdraw your statement or are you sticking with it? If the former, you can always blame an unreliable (but usually informed) source! ;-)

Sticking with my original statement. I heard it from mutiple sources. From what I understand, even with Izzo's ok, it was still a 30% chance the NCAA would ok KK's play. NCAA decision making is very unpredictable.

I think Izzo's pretty straightforward about these things and would do what's in the best interest on the player (which is uncertain). However, Chris Allen and Korie Lucious were both players dismissed from MSU in the past few years and both of them sat out a year. Now, maybe that had nothing to do with Izzo and it was about their circumstances, but there isn't exactly a track record of non-graduated MSU guys playing right away after being dismissed.
