Templeton out after one more year at MSU




The state College Board today approved without discussion the dismissal of Mississippi State athletic director Larry Templeton....

...He also has received praise for running the MSU athletic department in the black.

But the department drew scrutiny from College Board member Scott Ross in January when it came to light that the Bulldog Foundation had received a $1.2 million transfer from the MSU Foundation, a general university fund-raising arm, to help cover costs associated with paying off Sherrill and hiring Croom in 2003....

...Asked today what he thought of the latest development, Ross said: “I voted in favor of the proposal, and that’s about all I have to say on the matter.”
