Bracky Brett expressed deep concern over the offer to A.J. Brown. Brett released the following statement after the tweet was brought to his attention.

We here at Mississippi State try to maintain the standards of amateurism for all of our student athletes, and we also want to maintain those standards for any potential student athletes who might soon play for the Mississippi State football team or any other official athletic team represented by Mississippi State University.
