A state senator wants to make the NCAA, which began hearing Clemson's defense of its football program Sunday, conform to South Carolina law when conducting its investigations. Sen. Ernest Passailaigue, DCharleston, a gubernatorial candidate, introduced a bill earlier this month to guarantee the state's colleges and universities due process under South Carolina law when investigators with the National Collegiate Athletic Association allege rules violations. "With them, you're guilty until you're proven innocent," Passailaigue said. "It's un-American." The bill would create the South Carolina Collegiate Athletic Association and subject penalties handed down by the NCAA to review by a district court. "It gives member institutions, athletes and coaches their constitutionally mandated due-process rights," Passailaigue said. "I just want the NCAA to follow the procedures that any other investigation would be required to under the laws that have served this country well for 214 years." The NCAA's approach to enforcement of its rules and bylaws has been criticized recently because of ^ " ATTE I GRAD1 f SEN IT 1990 Commence! 1 Undergraduat |v Tickets will be c IS" Ticket Distribution and Lo LWednesday.

Passailaigue said his measure was patterned after one in Illinois following an investigation into recruiting violations by the Univer- d sity of Illinois' basketball program. ,JL Passailaigue's bill would give the schools, coaches and athletes the right to sue the NCAA for violation of the law, if it passes. The bill sailed through the Senate Judiciary Committee but stalled on the Senate calendar because of an objection filed by Sen. Warren Giese, 1 R-Columbia. Giese, a former USC head football coach, said he was concerned V Passailaigue's initiative would isolate South Carolina schools that 1 belong to the NCAA from other V member institutions, and could A threaten eligibility and ability to V earn revenue. A Passailaigue said the latest I NCAA probe into Clemson's foot- ? ball program "was against the ^ grain of American justice." The NCAA alleges Clemson committed 14 rules violations. "The way they handled them- ^HAppulfii selves was unfair to Clemson and ^Hj3Sj|||| it gave the school an undeserving black eye," he said. "It shouldn't H|jE^C have been allowed to happen, and this would be a way of preventing that."
