Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo and interim athletic director Bill Beekman responded to a report Friday that sophomore star Miles Bridges' mother took money from someone tied to agent in 2016.

According to the Yahoo! Sports report, based on documents and bank records recovered by the FBI from NBA agent Andy Miller and former associate and Saginaw native Christian Dawkins, at least 20 Division I basketball programs and more than 25 players could be affected by NCAA rules issues. Yahoo! revealed expense reports from Dawkins, including two entries from May 3, 2016 pertaining to Bridges' family. One says that Dawkins spent $70.50 on "Lunch w/Miles Bridges Parents" and the other says "ATM Withdrawawl: Miles Bridges mom advance. $400."

“We are aware of the report in Yahoo! Sports," Izzo began in his statement. "While we will cooperate with any and all investigations, we have no reason to believe that I, any member of our staff or student-athlete did anything in violation of NCAA rules.”

Beekman echoed Izzo's sentiments.

"MSU is committed to a culture of NCAA compliance," Beekman said. "We have proactively contacted the NCAA and Big Ten Conference. As Coach Izzo has stated, there is no evidence that he or anyone in his program, including student-athletes, did anything impermissible.”

Bridges committed to Michigan State on Oct. 3, 2015 and signed his Letter of Intent on Nov. 11 that year, months before Dawkins allegedly took Bridges' parents to lunch and paid his mother $400. There is currently no evidence that Bridges, nor Izzo or any member of the coaching staff knew what allegedly happened between Dawkins and Bridges' parents.

Izzo's name also appeared in the documents saying that he had dinner with Dawkins, who has been charged with three counts of wire fraud and one count of money laundering-conspiracy as par of the FBI's investigation into corruption in college basketball. It's worth noting, though, that Izzo has had a long-standing relationship with the Dawkins family, particularly former Saginaw High head coach Lou Dawkins. Christian Dawkins' younger brother, Dorian, was a highly-touted basketball recruit, but he died tragically on June 12, 2009 after collapsing during a basketball camp at Michigan State. It was later revealed he suffered a series of heart attacks caused by a birth defect.

Many of the other players named in the report allegedly received money directly from Dawkins. Other parents named in the report have come out and denied ever accepting benefits or ever meeting Dawkins.

A potential lottery pick last year, Bridges made the surprising decision to return to Michigan State for his sophomore season. Bridges' mother, Cynthia, did not hide at the time that she wanted her son to go to the NBA, as documented by a feature story on his decision from Sports Illustrated.

Cynthia said: "Miles, the bills are going to start coming in." And Miles said: "Ma, you'll be O.K." And his mom said: "What are you going to get if you win a championship? A cap and a shirt. What will Coach Izzo get? Millions." And Miles said: "Money's the root of all evil. I'm not in it for the money."

Michigan State returns to action at 1 p.m. Sunday at Wisconsin. The NCAA says "parents may not be given benefits, gifts, or dicsounts by institutions, other parents, or other representatives of athletics interests," but there has been no indication so far that Bridges will be punished in any way.
