Bill would fc
to conform t
By The Associated Press
COLUMBIA ? 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

o S. C. law
the way it has handled
investigations.
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." M
