Alabama appealing indefinite NCAA suspension for DB Tony Brown

A relatively quiet offseason for the defending national champions has suddenly gotten a little louder.

According to the Tuscaloosa News, Alabama defensive back Tony Brown has been indefinitely suspended by the NCAA. “The university has appealed and is awaiting a decision,” the News writes.

There is no official word on the reason or reasons behind the suspension, although the speculation is that it pertains to some sort of impermissible benefits/contacts.

In December of last year, Brown was sent home from the Cotton Bowl for a violation of team rules.  It was subsequently reported that Brown had started a fight with a teammate during the College Football Playoff semifinal and the Tide’s leadership council decided to send him home.  That incident also led Brown to miss the win over Clemson in the national championship game.

Brown, a five-star 2014 signee, was arrested in mid-January of last year on charges of failure to obey and resisting arrest, although he managed to escape Nick Saban’s doghouse that time and tie for the lead in special teams tackles in the regular season.  Provided he can get past this latest hurdle, Brown’s expected to compete for a starting job.

For what it’s worth, Brown has participated throughout the first half of the Tide’s spring practice sessions.

Or as BamaHammer puts it:

Ordinarily, indefinite suspension is something you hear with regards to impermissible benefits or contacts. Given Saban's "good kids can make bad decisions and be in the wrong place with wrong people" statements, I would imagine that is what we're looking at here.

Not to worry.  The NCAA will reverse its decision and issue a public written apology to the University of Alabama and Nick Saban himself by Friday.  They will then place the offending NCAA compliance officer on unpaid leave pending investigation.

Any word on if the backdated letter has been sent out to the booster who may or may not have given him a car/cash/suit?

No need.  That booster ceaseded and desisteded.

The compliance office athletic department has conducted a thorough 6 hour investigation into the matter and determined that no wrongdoing has occurred.

Was he even on the Sugar Bowl roster anyway?  I think it's just a misunderstanding.  A cease and desist letter was sent in 2009.  She probably deserved it anyways.

Short version:

Calvin Ridley not involved in cheating!! 

Yes. There was cheating.  But neither Calvin nor UA knew.  Nothing to see. All is well.  Do not panic.  It's over. 

Thanks, John Talty

Could you imagine the mud al.com would throw at a similar story involving an Auburn player?

[Snaggletiger]

So Ridley knew absolutely nothing about his coach setting up a scam to get a fake ID made and have somebody take the ACT in his place?  When exactly was he going to tell Ridley?

"Oh hey, that ACT thing....you good.  I gotcha' covered, dog."

AL.com swept that one up before I even had a chance to hear about it...

Daphne, where Glen Vickery has been on the Tide payroll for quite some time before is ignominious ouster,  hired a new football coach. 

Former Alabama player Kenny King.

King, 34, has been an assistant coach at Hamilton High in Chandler, Ariz., for the last three years where he has worked with the defensive line. He has also been the head freshman coach.

He played on the defensive line for current AHSAA executive director (and raging Bama homer) Steve Savarese at Daphne and graduated in 1999.

No head coaching experience. No coordinator experience. Unqualified for the position given some of the other applicants that were available.  Epic fail on the part of Daphne except for the fact that they keep their Bama pipeline open. 

The beat goes on as evidenced by this exchange at the Baldwin BOE:

Prior to the approval vote, Board member Tony Myrick sparked a brief discussion by asking about King’s teaching qualifications. He was assured that King had a teaching certificate in Arizona, and Tyler said he met all the qualifications to be hired in the state of Alabama.

“It’s not unusual at any board meeting for that question to arise,” Tyler said. “You vet all the candidates closely. You look through all the qualifications. Alabama is like a lot of states. We have a reciprocity process, and that takes some time. Alabama seems to be a little more cumbersome than others. As long as we get word that all the paperwork lines up, we submit it to the board for approval, and that is what happened in this case.”

Board member Cecil Christenberry brought a humorous end to the discussion, by joking with Myrick, “Kenny has a degree from Alabama. I thought that would satisfy you.”

“Well, you are right, Mr. Christenberry. Roll Tide,” Myrick said.
