Athletics director reportedly considered for Clemson job
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Before Mike Alden got the job as athletic director at Missouri, an informal interview came first over a meal with the school's chancellor at a nearby truck stop.
Then athletic director at Southwest Texas State, Alden left his family's farm in Callaway County to tell Richard Wallace during that meeting, "You don't have to worry about me going anyplace else."
That sentiment might not have changed. But reports in Monday's edition of The Kansas City Star, citing an unnamed source, said Alden has been contacted informally about becoming the athletic director at Clemson.
Both Alden and Wallace did not return calls from The Associated Press seeking comment yesterday.
Clemson's athletic department referred all questions to Cathy Sams, a spokeswoman for the university's president. Sams could not be reached for comment.
Maryland athletic director Debbie Yowand John Swofford.
the commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference, made the contact on behalf of Clemson, according to the Star.
Maryland spokesman David Heglund said Yow had been asked to nominate three prospects for the Clemson job and Alden was one of her recommendations. But he did not know if Yow had made any overtures beyond the nomination. Swofford did not return calls seeking comment.
Since arriving at Missouri in
July 1998. Alden has presided over a wide-ranging transformation in the university's athletic department, most notably in its men's basketball program. Alden oversaw the departure of Norm Stewart, replaced the legendary coach with Quin Snyder and pushed for and received the state revenue bonds needed to build a new arena to replace the aging Hearnes Center.
He's also brought Gary Pinkel to Columbia, the latest in a series of football coaches to try to change the perennial bad luck of Missouri's moribund football program. He hired coaches for women's gymnastics and volleyball, and fired Jay Miller, the softball coach for 15 years, on Monday.
Reached by The Star, Alden refused to confirm the report he had been contacted about the Clemson job.
Drug possession charge dismissed
AUSTIN — Midland County prosecutors yesterday dismissed a marijuana possession charge against Texas running back Cedric Benson for lack of evidence.
The Associated Press
The Big 12 freshman of the year and a female acquaintance were arrested April 27 at a Midland apartment after police responded to a 911 call about loud music.
Police found a small amount of pot, drug paraphernalia and alcohol inside the apartment.
"We couldn't link Cedric to it," said Midland County Assistant District Attorney Bob Stevens.
"There has been no indication he was aware of it and possessed it. We have to have evidence and it's just simply not there."
Benson's attorneys say the
Brian Carney, Benson's Midland attorney, said the dismissal proves his client's innocence.
drugs and paraphernalia were found in a purse and a closet and that alcohol was in the refrigerator Stevens confirmed that nothing was found on Benson personally.
"None of that was Cedric's." Carney said. "It's simply a case of wrong place, wrong time."
Benson, 19, and Melanie Robinson, 20, were charged with possession of marijuana under 2 ounces, a Class B misdemeanor, which carries up to six months in jail and $2,000 in fines if convicted.
They also were charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and being a minor in possession of alcohol, both Class C misdemeanors. Those charges carry fines up to $500.
The drug paraphernalia and alcohol possession charges were filed in municipal court and their
status was not immediately known. Benson and Robinson pleaded innocent to all the charges.
Stevens said the possession charge against Robinson, who leased the apartment, had not been dismissed.
Texas football coach Mack Brown said he was glad to see the one issue resolved but declined comment on the remaining charges against Benson.
"We have been in constant contact with him and he has been very honest and forthcoming with us," Brown said. "We are glad to see the trust we had in him is holding true."
Attorneys for Benson and Robinson have questioned the police search of the apartment, claiming they broke a window to gain entry when they weren't invited inside. Police did not have a warrant.
