Former Auburn Player To Detail Allegation On HBO
Posted by Brooks on Feb. 22, 2011, 3:52pm
In a recent interview with HBO Real Sports, former Auburn football player Stanley McClover alleged that while a current player at the school, an Auburn assistant football coach provided him extra benefits that would be considered a violation of NCAA rules.

As part of a Real Sports episode on the “State of College Sports in America” to be aired March 30 on HBO, I’ve been told McClover names the assistant coach in the piece.
The allegation against the Auburn football program by McClover, who left the school in 2006, falls outside the NCAA’s standard statute of limitation guidline of four years, with one notable exception.
NCAA rule 32.6.3 Statute of Limitations: Allegations included in a notice of allegations shall be limited to possible violations occurring not earlier than four years before the date the notice of inquiry is forwarded to the institution or the date the institution notifies (or, if earlier, should have notified) the enforcement staff of its inquiries into the matter. However, the following shall not be subject to the four-year limitation:
(a) Allegations involving violations affecting the eligibility of a current student-athlete;
(b) Allegations in a case in which information is developed to indicate a pattern of willful violations on the part of the institution or individual involved, which began before but continued into the four-year period; and
(c) Allegations that indicate a blatant disregard for the Association’s fundamental recruiting, extra-benefit, academic or ethical-conduct regulations or that involve an effort to conceal the occurrence of the violation. In such cases, the enforcement staff shall have a one-year period after the date information concerning the matter becomes available to the NCAA to investigate and submit to the institution a notice of allegations concerning the matter.
Part C of the rule may leave the door open for the NCAA to pursue an allegation made after the standard four-year period has expired.

An email sent earlier today to an NCAA spokesperson for clarification on the rule was not returned.
McClover did not return a Facebook message to his personal account and an HBO spokesman, when contacted, had no comment.
So what prompted McClover to make such allegations through HBO five years after leaving Auburn?

Perhaps it has something to do with a February 19 entry McClover posted on the website of a charity he runs. An entry that noted HBO would be filming a McClover-organized gathering in south Florida this Sunday.
Last week I reported that former Mississippi State player Kenny Rogers, who implicated Cam Newton’s father Cecil in a pay-for-play scheme involving MSU, would also be interviewed for the HBO Real Sports episode focusing on college sports.
I’ve since been told that interview took place yesterday.

UPDATE: When reached via Facebook message, McClover replied, “Sorry but I have no comment.”

I see your "icon" quote and raise you a "hall of fame" comparison.

Cam Newton: I did things in one year other players couldn?t in four

Posted by Michael David Smith on February 23, 2011, 5:44 AM EST

One of the questions about Auburn quarterback Cam Newton is whether his relative lack of experience means he?s not polished enough to be ready for the NFL. But Newton views the fact that he played just one season at Auburn in a different light.
?I?m aware of that statement,? Newton told Dan Wetzel of Yahoo. ?I don?t want to sound arrogant but I did something in one year people couldn?t do in their whole collegiate careers. We had a chance to do something great and we did it.?
It?s good that he doesn?t want to sound arrogant, but comments like that from Newton, and his desire to be an icon and entertainer, are the kinds of statements that make people wonder if Newton?s attitude is more like Ryan Leaf?s than Peyton Manning?s.
But Newton insists that he is, in fact, a lot like Manning in his approach to the game.
?Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, you look at how good they are every year,? Newton said. ?The question is how do they do it? Nothing you can point to but hard work. In the offseason. In the regular season.?
When he meets with coaches in Indianapolis in the days ahead, Newton would be wise to stress his ambition to work as hard as Manning, Brady and Rodgers. And to ease up on the boasting about his college career, and his status as an icon.

 Has there ever been a more unlikeable/cocky jackass? What an ass. This kid needs to be brought down to Earth. "I did things in one year people couldn't do in their collegiate careers". What an arrogant prick. He acts like he had no teammates and coaches around him. The line should read: "I got paid more in one year than people got in their collegiate careers". Prick. Anyone else anxious to see this guy get steamrolled?

I would ask this jackass three things in a combine interview.

1. How many snaps under center did you take in college?

2. How many pre-snap reads did you make in college?

3. How are you any different than Vince Young or Alex Smith?

Jamarcus Russell is still the most appropriate analogy, IMO--one-year wonder in college, got way too much credit for a bowl game win, incredibly athletic which wows people at the combine and makes them reach on him in the draft, absolutely no familiarity with running a pro-style offense, character issues/questions, etc.
