South Carolina informed Taylor Edwards, the former director of football player personnel of ‘serious violations of NCAA legislation.’
A former University of South Carolina employee is accused of committing “serious violations” of NCAA legislation before leaving the institution in July. According to The State, Taylor Edwards, the former Director of Football Player Personnel for the South Carolina Gamecocks, left the school barely six months after signing an extension and receiving a raise.

Based on a letter obtained by the media outlet, South Carolina Athletics Human Resources Manager Christina Sergi allegedly sent the former director an email with the subject line stating: “Meeting with the Athletics Director.”
The email said, “As previously discussed, the athletics department has determined that you have committed serious violations of NCAA legislation and your contractual obligations to the University sufficient to justify the termination.”
Publicly, the school did not release any details about Edwards’ exit.
“If you have any questions,” he added, “please don’t hesitate to contact Gregg or me at your convenience.”
Although no violations were stated in the email, USC spokesman Charles Bloom told The State that the University of South Carolina has not been served with a notice of allegations from the NCAA.
