NCAA looks into
football spying
United Press International
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The
NCAA is investigating a report that
Florida’s football coaching staff sent
aspy to the practices of at least seven
Gator opponents during the 1980
and 1981 seasons. The St. Peters
burg Times reported Tuesday night.
The alleged spying apparently
was a factor in Charley Pell’s sur
prise resignation Sunday as the Ga
tors’ coach, the newspaper said in a
copyright story.
The story did not disclose the
source of the report.
The newspaper said the alleged
spy was Michael Brown, a graduate
assistant and academic adviser on
the Gator athletic department staff
in 1980-81. Brown was fired by Pell
in late 1981.
According to the report. Brown
posed as a student and watched op
ponents practice the week before
their games with Florida and re
ported his findings to the Gator
coaches.
The Times said he reportedly told
the NCAA that he was dispatched in
1980 to spy on California, Georgia,
Auburn, Mississippi, Mississippi
State, Louisville and Florida State.
In 1981, he reportedly spied on
Florida State, Mississippi State and
Georgia.
“The NCAA has reportedly ob
tained receipts for some of his
(Brown’s) airline tickets and hotel
bills, some of which were paid for
with Florida coaches’ credit cards,”
the newspaper said.
Brown, who now works out of
state, confirmed Monday he has

been contacted by the NCAA, the
newspaper said. He declined to com
ment publicly until after the NCAA
investigation of the Florida football
program, begun in December 1982,
is completed.
Pell refused to comment on the
report.
University President-designate
Marshall Criser could not be
reached for comment. But the news
paper said the alleged spying appar
ently was revealed only recently. It
quoted Criser as saying at Monday’s
news conference that “information
received by the university’s attorney
... within the last three weeks” fig
ured in Pell’s sudden resignation.
“Brown is said to have visited op
ponents’ campuses on Tuesdays and
Wednesdays, joining the students
and fans who came out to watch
their team practice,” The Times
said. “When the practices were
closed to visitors, he apparently was
able to find a vantage point to watch
from afar.
“T uesday and Wednesday are key
practice days for most teams. Brown
reportedly told the NCAA that no
one ever suspected him or asked for
identification. On the Auburn prac
tice field, in fact, he even chatted
with then-coach Doug Barfield.”
“So that he would not be recog
nized on game days, Brown was as
signed a role in the press box, where
coaches on the sideline could confer
with him through their headsets,”
the story said.
