TK Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A46182-2004Feb16.html Attorney Says Clarett Has an Agent Associated Press Tuesday, February 17, 2004; Page D07 INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 16 -- Maurice Clarett has hired an agent, ending any possibility that the running back would return to college next season. Clarett's attorney, Alan Milstein, said Monday that the former Ohio State star was working with an agent in preparation for this week's NFL combine in Indianapolis, a move that would make him ineligible under NCAA rules. Milstein would not identify the agent. "He does have one," Milstein said. On Feb. 5, U.S. District Judge Shira A. Scheindlin ruled that an NFL rule barring eligibility to Clarett and other underclassmen from April's draft violates antitrust laws. Last week, Scheindlin refused to suspend her ruling, and Milstein said Clarett would be in the draft. Clarett ran for 1,237 yards and led Ohio State to a national championship as a freshman in the 2002 season. But the school suspended him before last season for accepting money from a family friend and for lying about it to NCAA and university investigators.
