Mike Conley Sr / Darren McFadden

[ShakerBuck]

During the MSU / BC game, there was a scrolling news teaser about Arkansas looking into NCAA violations re: Darren Mcfadden and an SUV allegedly purchased by Conley Sr. (which he is denying)

the first time i saw the headline i only saw the last part of it, regarding Conley SR. and alledged NCAA violations, and i feared for the worst....i was incredibly relieved when it didn't involve tOSU.

Hopefully none of it is true anyway, he seems like a good guy

Arkansas officials are looking into allegations that running back Darren McFadden received a car from an agent, as the agent and McFadden's father denied the report and the TV station that initially aired the story issued an apology.

The report alleged that McFadden had received a Cadillac Escalade, a luxury SUV, with the help of an agent, Mike Conley.

Graylon McFadden, Darren's father, insisted Friday that the reports were "a bold-faced lie," adding that the car belongs to McFadden's mother. The junior two-time Doak Walker Award winner has been borrowing the car, he said.

Conley, who said he does not represent McFadden and is not a certified football agent, also said the report was untrue. Conley is registered as an agent with the NBA and represents his son, Mike Conley Jr., and Greg Oden, who was the No. 1 overall draft pick in the 2007 NBA draft.

It looks like another side effect of the espin phenomenon, a Podunk, Ark sportscaster probably trying to get noticed by a so called national sports network decided to throw inuendo and rumor around hoping it would stick, just like a bunch of the espin reporters and writers.
