UA head coach Nick Saban announced Wednesday that Clinton-Dix has been indefinitely suspended for violation of team rules but did not specify the nature of the violation.
In looking into the matter, the UA compliance office also discovered that Harris had a connection to a representative of a sports agent. UA's internal investigation has found no indication that Clinton-Dix has had contact with any agent or agent representative. Efforts to reach Harris were unsuccessful.
Harris made a short-term loan to Clinton-Dix in an amount less than $500 at some point in the summer, an apparent violation of NCAA Bylaw 16.11.2.2, which states that "an institutional employee or representative of the institution's athletics interests may not provide a student-athlete with extra benefits or services, including, but not limited to ... a loan of money." Clinton-Dix has provided bank records to UA athletic compliance department representatives that show a withdrawal in the amount he said he repaid to Harris, TideSports.com has learned.

Oh crap. Could this potentially get really, really ugly?

 

[bamafan4ever]

He loaned Dix less than $500 and Dix repaid the loan. this Corey character had the tie-in with the agent apparently, not Dix.

NCAA compliance expert says DIX incident, "not that serious"

[Swamptick]

It's not serious at all from an NCAA standpoint. We will self report. It will be forgotten. The troublesome part is that this coach did it. Regardless of Ha-Ha paying it back, the coach KNEW the rule. They all do.

When you're a high-profile program, all stuff like this gets blown way up in the media.

Corey Harris probably needs to be shown the door though.

The biggest problem looming now isnt whether HaHa took money. It's whether or not Saban will be in jail for felony assault on a coaching assistant.

 

[BAMA JAMMA]

Might be time for Saban to shake the rugs....

Get these crap coaches outta here!

 

[bamanaf]

Makes you wonder why Haha would go to this assistant for a loan. More to this story, clean house Coach.

 

['65 Cobra]

The fact that Ha Ha paid it back is very significant. This should not be a big deal.

:icon_thumright: LOL!

I would expect hes back before the Arkansas game. Hes gotta know better, yes its unfortunate that these guys cant just get loans like regular ppl but lets face it they're not regular people, the coach should have known better even more so tho.

Now that is a statement. We all could get a little Debbie fund going on here.

Harris made a short-term loan to Clinton-Dix in an amount less than $500, after Clinton-Dix's car was broken into on the night of June 25 or the morning of June 26. TideSports.com has obtained the police report filed by Clinton-Dix after the break-in, detailing the theft of money, an iPad, a backpack and sandals - both embroidered with Clinton-Dix's jersey number (No. 6) - stereo speaker sub-woofers, miscellaneous shirts and Nike Air Jordan shoes.
The police report states that Clinton-Dix's black and gray 2012 Dodge Charger was parked at his residence on the 4500 block of East 18th Avenue. Clinton-Dix is not identified by name on the police report due to Tuscaloosa Police Department policy not to list victims of crimes on such reports.


Clinton-Dix has provided bank records to UA athletic compliance department representatives that show a withdrawal in the amount he said he repaid to Harris, TideSports.com has learned.
Harris' annual salary is $43,260.


The situation could be a violation of NCAA Bylaw 16.11.2.2, which states that "an institutional employee or representative of the institution's athletics interests may not provide a student-athlete with extra benefits or services, including, but not limited to ... a loan of money."

Its already started: http://www.aufamily.com/forums/topic/133645-bama-s-clinton-dix-suspended-indefinitely/. Just read on the delusion and stupidity. Plenty of it.

How about that, their longest thread there is about Alabama. Go figure.

Little sister syndrome.

I'm only hopeful there isn't any more breadcrumbs and Harris knows all about the bakery.
