MU Investigating Claims Of B’Ball Players Being Paid

The University of Missouri is investigating claims that former basketball player Ricky Clemons received cash from someone in the basketball program. In a deposition back in March, Clemons’ former girlfriend, Jessica Bunge, said assistant Lane Odom gave Clemons cash on several occasions. In an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Friday, Bunge said she didn’t remember who made the alleged transaction with Clemons. Odom denied the charge. The University will also investigate head coach Quin Snyder’s admission that he gave Clemons a pair of sweat pants and two pairs of footwear that he got from a friend who works for the manufacturer of the clothing.
