JACKSON — The NCAA has asked for a delay of its scheduled meeting with Mississippi State signee Renardo Sidney and his family.

Sidney attorney Don Jackson says that could put his client's amateurism case behind schedule and force him to miss games next season.

The NCAA has requested several documents as part of an investigation into whether Sidney's family received improper benefits while the Jackson native lived in Los Angeles. Sidney could be suspended or barred from playing college ball if the NCAA determines the family broke amateurism laws.

Jackson says the family is already in Jackson and is prepared to meet with the NCAA at his Montgomery, Ala., offices on July 1. A delay would be a hardship for the family.

The NCAA doesn't comment on ongoing investigations.
