Two Daves Pick The SEC

Like a bad cold, this story won’t go away, and it keeps getting worse.   WR Julio Jones and TB Mark Ingram went fishing with Curtis Anderson, who is not affiliated with Alabama.  Why is a 56 year old white guy not affiliated with Alabama hanging around two of its star players?  That’s a good question.  The Alabama AD self reported this, and the players had to pay the value of the fishing trip to charity.  Story over.  Anderson appraently knew the two players before they enrolled in college.

The Birmingham News reports today that Anderson provided a laptop computer to another Alabama player, LB Jerrell Harris.  When contacted, Anderson had no comment and Harris angrily replied “I’m denying it”.

For a guy not affiliated with Alabama, Anderson seems to have a lot of contact with their players.  Who knows, maybe Anderson is an Auburn fan hell bent to get Alabama in trouble with the NCAA.  This will be entertaining to watch.

While the NCAA loves to persecute SEC schools, others seemingly get away with everything.  U$C and Reggie Bush come to mind.  The Detroit Free Press reports that several current players at Michigan have reported that rules violations are routine in the football program.  Of course Rich Rodriguez says his program is in compliance with NCAA rules, do you expect him to admit it?  We’ll see if the NCAA sets up camp at Ann Arbor.
