By Associated Press
CHARLESTON ? A committee lias been
appointed by Baptist College President Jairy
Hunter to probe alleged rules violations of
(he NCAA by (he school's track and field
program.
The allegations include the ineligibility of a
third-year athlete during his first two
seasons, the ineligibility of a freshman
atniete ana tne aireci payment 01 scnuiarsmp
and work-study money from the track coach
to athletes, The News and Courier reported
Saturday.
Hunter told the newspaper that Howard
Bagwell, Baptist's athletic director and track
and field coach, indicated to him that "some
questions were being raised about the operation
of the athletic department.
"B VSICALLY, 1 SAII) let's get a group
of people to look into it; if there's a procedure
that's incorrect, let's correct it,"
Hunter said.
John Fincher, executive vice president for
planning and special projects, was named

first meeting last Tuesday.
The allegation was leveled by a former
athletic department employee, the newspaper
said.
The image of the school, which would like
to set a moral and religious example for its
community, is at stake, l incher said.
"WE'RE A COLLEGE with an atmosphere
of concern for students, operating
by Christian principles," he said. "We
endeavor to do everything right and proper
with no deception or deviation."
The News and Courier reported
that the former employee, who requested
anonymity, said he contacted NCAA officials
by telephone Feb. 22 and spent 40
minutes talking to an official in the enforcement
division.

Asked what prompted him to contact the j|
NCAA, the former employee said, "It had jl
just reached the point where it was obvious
something had to be done about infractions
going on at Baptist."
David Berst, NCAA director of enforcement,
declined comment on whether Baptist
had been reported.
"I GET that question (about various
schools) half a dozen times a day, and can
neither confirm nor deny what you may have
heard," ho said.
The NCAA receives reports of alleged ,
violations, then attempts to determine the j
validity. Once the NCAA determines that the
allegations are worth investigating, it sends a I
letter to the president of the school in question,
with a carbon copy to the school's
athletic director.
Both Hunter and Bagwell said Friday they
have not been contacted by the NCAA regarding
any impending investigation. Bagwell
UCIIILU IIIC dllCgdl IUII5.
"You can believe me," he told the
newspaper March 21. "This is the first I've
heard of it. If there have been violations, I'm
not aware of them."
BAGWELL SAID the charges that
athletes received direct cash payments from
the athletic department are absolutely
untrue."
Regarding the alleged ineligibility of the
freshman athlete, Bagwell said he was a
form, signed by his high school coach, certifying
the athlete's eligibility to compete.
Fincher said the interview and invest
icatorv processes have heaun.
"But honestly, it's way too early lor me to

"Willi students and faculty being away,
we're very limited as to people we can talk to
this week."
