South MS school district files suit against major sporting-goods companies

The Hancock County School District filed a class-action lawsuit in October accusing major sports equipment manufacturers, including Riddell Sports and Varsity Brands, and other retailers of violating antitrust laws through an illegal bid-rigging and price-fixing scheme. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Gulfport, accuses the companies of working with other retailers, including BSN Sports, Hibbett Inc., Sports Center and Rex Team Sports, to form what attorneys described as a “cartel” that inflated the costs of athletic equipment and related services sold to K-12 schools in Mississippi and Louisiana. Mississippi law requires school districts to seek bids for equipment and services when costs are between $5,000 and $75,000. According to the lawsuit, from 2010 to 2023, participants in the alleged scheme coordinated their bids to manipulate the lowest-bidder selection process. The lawsuit identifies several sales professionals with Riddell, BSN Sports, Rex Team Sports and other companies who pleaded guilty to federal charges related to the bid-rigging scheme. “Mississippi families, educators and taxpayers trusted that the bidding process would get their schools a fair price, and the complaint lays out how that trust was exploited for years,” said Charles J. LaDuca, firm chairman at Cuneo Gilbert Flannery & LaDuca., which is

Former President Bill Clinton campaigns for Scott Colom in Tupelo

TUPELO — Of all the people that former President Bill Clinton could have quoted at a rally for U.S. Senate candidate Scott Colom , a Republican former president was not expected to be at the top of the list. But Clinton nevertheless invoked George Bush to promote Colom during the final stretch of his campaign. "'Democracy is self-correcting,'" Clinton recalled Bush saying. "We're about to find out in Mississippi, because Scott is the correction." Clinton stumped for Colom at an Oct. 30 rally in Tupelo, the latest in a long line of prominent Democrats who have dropped in on the Magnolia State as Colom's race has inched from a Republican lock to a potential toss-up. Colom's campaign first caught his attention, Clinton told the crowd, because of his health care advocacy, particularly when it came to rural hospitals. In one of his many jabs at President Donald Trump and his policies, Clinton criticized the president's "fact-free politics" that have led to climbing prices. It was the second presidential visit of the week in Mississippi. Trump came to Corinth on Monday to support Cindy Hyde-Smith. The event, and the presidential styles, contrasted greatly.
