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.”

It would make me so happy if the one who got away from the Buckeyes were to be the one who totally blows this Auburn thing open after all the parties involved thought they had it sealed off.

Also, the first pages of this thread are chock full of missing posters. I know it's been seven years, but damn...

 

[OHSportsFan]

Auburn is facing some big time turmoil, not the least of which is a potential loss of its accreditation. Auburn needs to thank Colorado for keeping it off the front pages. If he is happy, then I am happy for him. Now, where did that rumor start?

Is Auburn officially in trouble, or is it speculation that they are going to get caught soon? Just wondering...

OSUsushichic: Its purely speculation, on my part. Although I do believe that the start of an NCAA Investigation is brewing ..

7 years later and it's the same story. :!

 

[NFBuck]

It's a whole other world down there in the $EC...rules are just "suggestions".

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

Serious shit needs to happen down there beyond athletic sanctions. The regional accrediting body needs to pull their accrediting. Then perhaps the state and feda can step in and oust the board and administration.

Serious [Mark May] needs to happen down there beyond athletic sanctions. The regional accrediting body needs to pull their accrediting. Then perhaps the state and feda can step in and oust the board and administration.

If that happens, who will be left to mourn the trees?

(besides Andy Staples and Stewart Mandel)

in response to a question posed on a SEC message board as to why this HBO special is only focusing on the SEC, and not conferences like the Big 10 and ACC, the best response, by far, was:

The only reason that it's only involving the SEC is because excellence on the field has given the south something to be proud of, as evidenced by all of our fans sticking together for the most part. As such, its time for some outside entity to try to knock us back down. Its been going on since before 1776. There is a lot of sectional jealousy by monied northeastern (and now Californian) elites. I know some will call me a conspiracy theorist, but there is more truth to it than anyone wants to admit.

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

Or it could be that the Big Ten ans (most of) the ACC are universities that happen to have football teams attached to them. The SEC are football teams that happen to be burdened with the requirement of paying lip service to the schools that are affiliated with them.

 

[buxfan4life]

wrong thread.

 

[strohs]

This thread is pretty interesting considering the upcoming HBO special...

Stanley McClover's comments on Auburn, money: Former teammates wonder why he said it | al.com

AUBURN -- Former Auburn football player Stanley McClover has apparently told HBO's Real Sports that he accepted money to play for the Tigers in 2003, but former teammates have questioned whether the story is true, and a tweet from McClover also suggests that Internet reports about that interview aren't complete.

Real Sports is preparing a segment on recruiting that involves several teams, according to players who have been contacted by the show. HBO declined this week to discuss the specifics of the show, which is scheduled to air in late March.

The NCAA is unlikely to investigate because the statute of limitations has expired. In the meantime, HBO is preparing to shoot a segment on McClover's charity Sunday.

Former Auburn running back Ronnie Brown said he has spoken to McClover about his claims and doesn't understand them. Former Auburn teammate Jeris McIntyre said he never heard of players being paid. Ken Scott, McClover's coach at Dillard High School in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., said Auburn never paid any of the players it signed from his school, and other elements of McClover's story are wrong.

Kremer voiceover: "But McClover says there were money handshakes
from boosters at other football camps too. At Auburn for a couple hundred
dollars and at Michigan State. All the schools denied any wrongdoing. And
things really started heating up a few months later when he went to
Ohio State for an official visit where schools get a chance for one
weekend to host prospective athletes. McClover says there were
money handshakes from alumni there too. About a thousand dollars.
And something else to entice him."
McClover: "They send girls my way. I partied. When I got there I met up
with a couple guys from the team. We went to a party and they
asked me to pick any girl I wanted."
Kremer: "Did she offer sexual services"?
McClover: "Yes."
Kremer: "Did you take them"?
McClover: "Yes."
Kremer: "McClover committed to Ohio State right after that weekend.
The recruiter at Ohio State who says he dealt with McClover that weekend
denied school was involved in any wrongdoing."
