IRS warns against illegal sports gambling in Mississippi
SUMMARY: The Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation (CI) division is warning sports bettors in Mississippi about the consequences of illegally gambling on games. CI has already initiated over 100 investigations into illegal gambling activity between 2021 and 2023, resulting in 89 indictments and a high conviction rate. The average prison sentence for these cases was 23 months. It is important for sports bettors to ensure they are participating legally and to review the laws in their states regarding sports betting. The only legal wagers in Mississippi can be placed within certified casinos, but mobile sports betting is legal in 27 states. Individuals who engage in sports betting must report their winnings on their tax returns and keep detailed records of all gambling transactions.

Lane Kiffin challenges revenue sharing cap enforcement, trolls Hugh Freeze at SEC Media Days
SUMMARY: Lane Kiffin, Ole Miss head coach, criticized the flawed regulation of college football at SEC Media Days, focusing on the new federal settlement allowing schools to pay athletes up to \$20.5 million but capping NIL deals over \$600 through a Deloitte-managed clearinghouse. Kiffin’s program operates under this budget cap but suspects others are violating it without clear penalties. He doubts the system’s effectiveness in ensuring fairness and salary cap adherence. Despite concerns, he believes revenue sharing will promote roster parity. Kiffin also playfully targeted former Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze with trolling jabs, continuing their public banter.

NTSB: Former Mississippi senator was warned not to fly before fatal crash
SUMMARY: The NTSB released its report on the May 17, 2023, plane crash that killed former Mississippi state senator Johnny Morgan. Morgan flew his Beech E-90 from Oxford to Arkansas for autopilot maintenance despite an avionics technician’s advice to delay due to bad weather. Hand-flying the plane amid overcast conditions, Morgan became spatially disoriented during an instrument approach, causing a rapid descent and crash that left him dead. No mechanical faults caused the crash. Morgan, 76, served as a state senator and county supervisor and co-founded Morgan White Group. Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves praised his loyalty and political involvement.
