News broke Thursday that the NCAA was investigating "recruiting irregularities" at Mississippi State after ESPN.com's Joe Schad tweeted that the resignation of former Bulldog wide receivers coach Angelo Mirando stems from an ongoing investigation.

According to Matt Stevens of the Columbus (Miss.) Dispatch, part of the investigation revolves around a Ford Mustang purchased for current Bulldog defensive back Will Redmond shortly before he signed with Mississippi State.
That would certainly qualify as an irregularity.

Mississippi State and the NCAA have both confirmed the existence of the investigation and that the university is working in cooperation with the NCAA. That didn't stop Bulldog head coach Dan Mullen from questioning the report, according to the Dispatch.
