Christopher Mark Tuley admitted that he's the employer accused of providing benefits that are not permitted to three players and one recruit in 2013 and 2014.
In 2013, players Jordan Clarkson and Tony Criswell and team manager Ricky Bolton were employed as interns by T3 Solutions. The following year, player Cam Biedscheid, incoming freshman Jakeenan Gant and student manager Patrick Holman interned there.
He said he did not explicitly ask Missouri if giving the players iPads, paying them the money for gas and food or arranging for them to use the gym was permissible under NCAA rules. But an email Tuley sent to a Missouri compliance official shows the university was aware that housing and transportation were provided.
He said the housing, transportation and iPad were provided to all out-of-state interns. Tuley said the cash was provided for gas and food because Clarkson, Criswell and Bolton arrived with no money. He doesn't deny arranging for the use of the gym for players to work out but said he paid nothing for that privilege.
Tuley disputed that the players didn't work. He said that he required all of the players to do two "white papers," which he described as similar to research papers.
