According to The State, Saunders phoned in to 107.5 The Game and used the Friday afternoon call to release a statement that chastised those who know not what they report.
"I love the university and my coaches. Allegations of this being all about me and being a me-first guy and trying to bring the team down are false. Coach Spurrier and I are on good terms. We did have a misunderstanding, but that's all cleared up now. I couldn't have more respect for Steve Spurrier or Eric Hyman. I understand perception is reality and people will see what they want to from the outside. But what they see is not the case on the inside."
Given the pains the school has taken to remain relatively mum on these issues and keep the players involved even more mum, how pleased were they when they found out the central figure in the dual NCAA probes went on local radio to break what's been described as a school-imposed silence?
If Saunders is looking to make his way out of Spurrier's doghouse and get the suspension lifted, he may have taken the very wrong track.
