Tuley provided a picture of Clayton’s email about the 2014 interns to the Tribune. It is unclear how he obtained it, but carbon copied on the message are Mary Ann Austin, Missouri’s executive associate athletic director in charge of compliance, and Brunette.
It begins: “Just wanted to follow-up with you regarding the summer employment arrangement for Cam Biedscheid and Jakeenan Gant. As you are aware, they are working for Mark Tuley at T3 Solutions, LLC, as a summer intern. They are among other college students, students and student-athletes, working for T3 making $20/hour. I reiterated to Mark that the SAs can be paid only for work actually performed and he assured me that they were earning their pay only for hours worked.”
Each player and manager was provided with housing at no cost during the internship as well as local transportation and an iPad. Tuley said he provided those same things to all out-of-state interns.
Those are three things specified as “impermissible inducements and extra benefits” he is said to have provided the players through the internship program, in violation of NCAA rules.
But Missouri was aware that housing and transportation were provided, according to an email Tuley sent to Brunette on May 14, 2013, and forwarded to the Tribune.
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, during their time in the program. He said he first tasked them with investigating what his company’s area of work — geospatial intelligence — is.
For the second paper in one — if not both — of the years, Tuley said the players were instructed to pick a business they thought was under-represented in Augusta. He said the only reason he remembered that was because one of the players wrote about the need for an upscale sports store, a concept similar to a Nike signature store.
Tuley also said he wasn’t aware of any NCAA problems with the internship program in 2013, so he operated the program the same way in 2014.
(Tuley) spoke to NCAA investigators for two hours last spring. He said he was left with the impression that they were pursuing information to tie Haith to violations.
“I didn’t have much to do with Frank Haith, so I really couldn’t help them with that,” Tuley said.
Said Tuley: “I think it’s been portrayed as I’m the guy that pretty much did what he wanted and didn’t consult the University of Missouri, which doesn’t work, because they got in touch with compliance Day 1.”
