Marcus Murphy's mother passed away Monday night.

Marcus Murphy lost his mother Monday night. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help with funeral expenses. MSU compliance has given the ok on this as well. Please consider helping out.

Can this thread be made into a sticky?

Hate to ask but is there any NCAA worry with this?

I haven't checked it out personally, but Robby Donaho tweeted that it'd been cleared by MSU Compliance.

Thanks.

MSU Compliance says it’s a no go.

MSU Compliance says it’s a no go.

My sympathies are with them, but I can't see how this would be ok with the NCAA unless it's set up very carefully.

They reversed course?

17ing rediculous.

Is this something that the school could use the benevolence fund that UMiss used for Laremy Tunsil's mother's house?

I fail to see how a GoFundMe account set up in response to a death in the family can even be under the jurisdiction of the NCAA.
It's not a monetary incentive for an athlete or recruit to attend or continue to attend an institution.

I mean, it's not like we're committing academic fraud, misleading recruits, handing out free clothes, free hotels, free meals, providing loaner cars for months at a time, coordinating booster payments or dipping into any 'opportunity funds' for athletes or demonstrating a lack of institutional control.

Bracky never said anything until the GoFundMe was running for 4 hours. Can't say their position changed. I hope the GA that retweeted the GoFundMe link doesn't catch hell.

Maybe the family church can accept donations on behalf of a Ms. Murphy, who happens to have a son.

To be precise, Bracky said MSU Compliance “can’t approve” the gofundme. I think he said that for a reason.
