Former Mississippi State coach files lawsuit against NCAA

Associated Press

STARKVILLE, Miss. - Former Mississippi State coach Jackie Sherrill has filed a 
lawsuit against the NCAA and two of its investigators, claiming the defendants 
caused him to lose his job and drove him out of college football by making 
false allegations.

In October, the NCAA placed Mississippi State's football program on four years 
probation, stripped it of four scholarships during each of the next two seasons 
and banned the Bulldogs from postseason play this year.

The NCAA's infractions committee reported it had found that two former 
Mississippi State assistants and several boosters committed recruiting 
violations between 1998-2002. Allegations of unethical conduct against Sherrill 
were dismissed.

The Starkville Daily News reported Wednesday that Sherrill filed the lawsuit 
Dec. 2 in Oktibbeha County Circuit Court, seeking several million dollars in 
damages. The lawsuit names the NCAA, investigators Richard Johanningmeier and 
Mark P. Jones, and Ridgeland businesswoman Julie Gibert as defendants, both 
jointly and separately.

Sherrill, who announced his retirement in October 2003, claims Johanningmeier, 
Jones, and Gibert fabricated charges against him during the NCAA probe and 
defamed him by releasing the charges to the media.

The publication of allegations made by Johanningmeier, Jones, and Gibert were 
intended to permanently damage Sherrill's personal and professional reputation 
and career, the suit claims.

Sherrill could not immediately be contacted for comment.

In a 2003 interview with The Associated Press, Sherrill said he believed there 
is a group of people that went after Mississippi State. The investigator didn't 
want to know the truth when he was given information.

Sherrill said in the earlier interview that he had refused to speak to 
Johanningmeier during the probe.

I did not talk to the guy because I felt that he was not truthful. That he 
misrepresented people that he talked to and how many times he talked to them, 
Sherrill said.

Sherrill said that he believed Johanningmeier was responsible for a Jackson 
newspaper reporting one of the allegations being investigated.

Former Brandon High School football player Kenneth Griffith told The 
Clarion-Ledger he received $800 from a Mississippi State assistant coach.

Sherrill was replaced at Mississippi State by Sylvester Croom, the first black 
head football coach in Southeastern Conference history.

 Sherrill told The Associated Press that he was never made aware of the 
specific allegations against him when questioned by the NCAA.

There are some questions that were raised and my attorney has put them 
(the NCAA) on notice that when you send out stuff that is false in the 
official inquiry, then you should be held liable and accountable, 
Sherrill said.

He and his attorney, Wayne Ferrell, said NCAA investigator Richard 
Johanningmeier acted unethically while conducting the 2 1/2-year 
investigation.

Yes, we think Johanningmeier twisted statements, manipulated 
statements, Ferrell said.

He said that the allegations against Sherrill are based on secondhand 
information.

 Sherrill hot about cool vests

 By From Our Press Services
 August 27, 2003

 Mississippi State football coach Jackie Sherrill is miffed that Nike has
 provided Oregon with experimental vests the Ducks might use Saturday 
night to
 help stay cool when they play the Bulldogs in what figures to be warm and
 humid conditions.

 Sherrill said Mississippi State, which also has a contract with Nike, 
wasn't
 offered the equipment until he asked about it.

 The product, which was developed by Oregon-based Nike, is worn under the
 shoulder pads and weighs slightly more than a T-shirt. When connected 
to a
 sideline compressor, the bladder-like device blows helium into the
 players, according to Sherrill.

 That helium just ain't right, said Sherill to reporters Monday. 
That Auburn
 punter tried that a few years back but we caught on to his little game.

 Nike spokemen said Tuesday the vests were designed to pump 
dehumidified air
 onto the players, helping cool them. No helium was being used.

 They think we're stupid you know, responded Sherill. C'mon, man,
 dehumidified air? Like hell. They pumpin' helium in those boys to 
help 'em
 jump high and block kicks and stuff. 

 Nike product scientist Alvin Haynes refuted Sherill's accusation as 
baseless.

 We are intrigued by Coach Sherrill's grasp of physics and the laws 
of gravity
 but we maintain that the vests are primarily for cooling, not an attempt
 at creating an artificial levitation advantage for the Oregon 
players. said
 Haynes.

 Saturday's forecast calls for a high temperature of 91 degrees and a 
low of 68
 with a possible thunderstorm mixed in. Winds are expected to be 20-30mph
 from the south and southwest.

Ah HAH, said Sherrill. Wind! THAT¹S gonna be their undoing! Them Ducks
 didn't figure on wind!

I hope that MSU pulls out the upset.  I don't want any outsiders beating up
on the SEC.  It makes us look like wimps.  I want the other conferences

 As a matter of a fact I think King Jackie would be betting against his

Sherrill hot about cool vests

By From Our Press Services
August 27, 2003

Mississippi State football coach Jackie Sherrill is miffed that Nike has provided 
Oregon with experimental vests the Ducks might use Saturday night to help stay cool 
when they play the Bulldogs in what figures to be warm and humid conditions.

Sherrill said Mississippi State, which also has a contract with Nike, wasn't offered 
the equipment until he asked about it.

When you have two teams under contract to the same vendor you question why they're 
allowing one to use it and not another, he said. They (Nike) didn't offer it until 
(last) Friday afternoon, and not until I asked the question.

The product, which was developed by Oregon-based Nike, is worn under the shoulder pads 
and weighs slightly more than a T-shirt. When connected to a sideline compressor, the 
bladder-like device blows dehumidified air on the players.

Phil Knight, CEO and co-founder of Nike, is an Oregon alum and major supporter of the 
school's athletic program.

Sherrill said Tuesday the vests were being shipped to Starkville but would not arrive 
until Friday. That's too late, he said.

How long does it take your team to get accustomed to them? You don't just walk in and 
put a new item on a player on game day that you've never tested or worn.

Saturday's forecast calls for a high temperature of 91 degrees and a low of 68 with a 
possible thunderstorm mixed in. Kickoff is 8 p.m. [...]
