Who knows why FIJItiger refuses to admit this?
Tuley said he first suggested Missouri basketball players could be part of his internship program after a casual conversation with then-MU associate head coach Tim Fuller. Tuley said he met Fuller in 2012 in a chance encounter at a farmer’s market in Augusta. He said the following year Fuller mentioned he was looking for a constructive environment for one of the players to spend the 2013 break.
Such action by a coach does not violate NCAA rules.
After the conversation with Fuller, Tuley said a proposal to have T3 Solutions hire players as interns was made to then-associate athletic director Sarah Baumgartner, who at the time served as the men’s basketball sport administrator at Missouri. Since December 2013, she has worked as the senior associate athletic director and chief development officer at Rutgers. Tuley said his understanding is that Baumgartner sent the proposal to Mitzi Clayton, the associate athletic director in charge of compliance.
The internship was proposed by Fuller, then details were worked out with compliance. No question that compliance made mistakes. Also no question that Fuller was involved from the beginning.
