Renardo Sidney is the one who is staying.
Elgin Bailey is the one who's leaving.
See if that makes any sense...???
When the two Mississippi State basketball players slugged it out in the stands in Honolulu two days before Christmas, the immediate result was that both players were to be suspended indefinitely.
Here's your refresher...

Indefinitely translation: 11 days...
Both players were reinstated today, but... according to an MSU release...
“Elgin told me of his plans to transfer, and we wish him the best as he moves on,” head coach Rick Stansbury said. “Elgin has had to deal with some very tough injuries, but he’s worked very hard to get to where he is now. Wherever he ends up, I hope he’s able to have a lot of success.
“As for this team, it’s time to move on and learn from these mistakes. Hopefully, by sending Sid and Elgin home following the incident, a strong message was sent that this type of behavior is unacceptable.”
As for Sidney, who is hoping to build on his two-games-in-two-years career in Starkvegas... from the same MSU statement...
“I’m very embarrassed about what happened,” said Sidney. “I know how bad it looked on TV and the embarrassment it caused for everyone associated with Mississippi State. I’ve had a lot of time to think about it, and I will learn from this mistake, move forward and become a better man.”
The HQ claims it remains to be seen...
