July 22, 2010
HOOVER, Ala. (AP)—South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier says tight end WeslyeSaunders has told him he didn’t do anything wrong in a trip to an agent’s partyin Miami.
Spurrier says he doesn’t know all the details but that the question is whopaid for the trip for Saunders and other players, including Alabama defensiveend Marcell Dareus. The NCAA is also conducting an investigation at Georgia andNorth Carolina connected to the same party.
Alabama coach Nick Saban wants the NFL and the NFL Players Association topunish rogue agents. Spurrier says they “ought to be a little bit more activeand help out in that regard.”
He says coaches can’t monitor players 24 hours a day, seven days a week, andsometimes have to trust them to wait until after their final game to take money.
