H*****r 发帖数: 764 | 1 EUGENE, Ore. --- Records indicate the vehicle Oregon All-American football
player Cliff Harris was driving early Sunday morning, when he was cited for
driving 118 mph, was paid for by a university employee.
Oregon State Police tell KEZI Harris was pulled-over shortly after 4:30 a.m.
on I-5 south of Albany in a 2011 Nissan Altima. Police say that car was
rented from Hertz Rent-A-Car. Police also say Harris was driving with three
other people, including two other Duck football players.
Hertz matched the license plate number provided by police with the name of a
woman who had the car rented at the time of the incident.
University of Oregon on-line directories show that woman as a member of the
faculty/staff.
NCAA rule 16.12.2.3c states:
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: The use of an automobile.
"So, I rented the car for my own purposes on Friday. Cliff Harris and his
licensed friend, who showed me his license, asked to borrow it and paid me
the full amount in cash that I paid for the rental," said the woman, who
agreed to speak to KEZI, on condition of anonymity.
The woman, who describes herself as a friend of Harris over the past few
months, said she was unaware Cliff would be driving and also said she has
proof that the amount she paid for the rental car matches two separte
deposits she made into her bank account Friday.
"I do have a copy of my bank statement, showing two deposits Friday of $180
and $120."
According to Hertz Vehicle Control, the Nissan Altima was rented Friday,
June 10th and returned after business hours Sunday, June 12th at 10:44 p.m..
Oregon Sports Information Director Dave Williford confirmed the athletic
department was aware a female rented the car and was not in the vehicle when
Harris was cited. Williford said he was not aware the woman who rented the
car was an employee of the university and was looking into that matter.
The woman said she was not Harris' girlfriend "or any relation of that
matter" and was not a student at UO, just an employee.
She also said she was not sure if the friend that was with Harris when she
gave him the rental car was a football player or not.
Again, at the time of the speeding incident, police confirmed two other
Oregon football players were in the car but wouldn't identify them, because
they were not cited. | Y******e 发帖数: 20256 | 2 我前几天在电台上听到host谈论legal和illegal的问题,其中拿了一些真实例子,估计
都是一些我密的minor violation,什么的。其中有很多都匪夷所思,哈哈。例如好像
在某些情况下,学校是可以cover player家属的租车的,因为赶时间没听完。反正有很多直觉
认为是illegal的却是legal的,一些认为legal的却是illegal。有一些小事,小到集体看电影,好像也有明确规定,有时候可以,有时候不可以。 |
