Tom Izzo comments on playing Miles Bridges in Michigan State's win over Wisconsin
When the FBI report came out on Friday, Michigan State player Miles Bridges was named as one of the athletes who received improper benefits.
However, as the Spartans beat the Wisconsin Badgers on Sunday afternoon, Bridges was out on the court, scoring 10 points and grabbing eight rebounds in the win.
After the game, coach Tom Izzo said he believes Bridges will be able to play the rest of the season:

Izzo added that he wouldn’t have played Bridges if the NCAA hadn’t cleared him to play, saying the organization moved quickly:
Michigan State's Tom Izzo: "“The NCAA moved on it quickly and there are reasons that they did. They cleared him to play or I wouldn’t have played him.”

There will be plenty more fallout from the explosive Yahoo! report that came out on Friday, but for now, it appears Michigan State’s star player will continue to take the court.
