    Michigan State coach Tom Izzo will serve a one-game suspension for a secondary violation of NCAA rules tied to a summer basketball camp.

    Michigan State officials said late Friday afternoon the school employed someone associated with a potential recruit during a basketball camp in June. The person was paid $475 for five days of working with middle schoolers. Izzo says he regrets what happened and called it an unintentional violation of the rules.

    Michigan State told ESPN.com the case will be closed when Izzo sits out for one game. Michigan State (No. 15 ESPN/USA Today, No. 14 AP) decided to have Izzo sit for its next game, which happens to be against 2-9 Prairie View A&M on Saturday, "to get it over with and move forward,'' according to an MSU spokesperson. The Spartans play Texas (No. 25 ESPN/USA Today, No. T-22 AP) on Wednesday in East Lansing.

    During a news conference Friday, MSU athletic director Mark Hollis said the only way to ensure a violation like this doesn't occur is to "not have summer camps."
