Mirando resigned from his position at Mississippi State on Aug. 19 due to ''unforeseen personal issues.'' The university confirmed on Aug. 23 that it was working with the NCAA regarding a ''potential recruiting irregularity.'' Documents released by the university through a public records request on Aug. 28 revealed the athletic department has disassociated from a booster who made ''impermissible contact'' with a recruit.
