Stevie Clark, Former Oklahoma State Basketball Player, Sues University

Alec NathanSep 4, 2015

According to the Tulsa World's Mark Cooper, former Oklahoma State Cowboys basketball player Stevie Clark is suing the university, his former head coach Travis Ford and the school's board of regents over a variety of claims.    

The allegations cited by Clark include claims that Ford didn't uphold his end of a promise that involved giving the former guard a Chevy Camaro.

According to Cooper, the following was alleged by Clark in the official complaint: "Various promises were made with regard to playing time and ensuring that Stevie made it to the next level. Travis Ford even promised Stevie a Camaro."

Additionally, Clark alleged that he was forced to consume psychotropic drugs during his brief tenure with the squad.

Cooper also reported that the official complaint alleges Clark was pinned as a fall guy for starters on the team after marijuana was discovered in his room. He was subsequently suspended for four games.

The case summary, which can be viewed here in its entirety, indicates Clark formally filed the complaint Sept. 2.

Clark has battled legal troubles in the past—including an arrest for marijuana possession on New Year's Day in 2014. The embattled shooter was then dismissed from the program a month after the arrest.

"We care about Stevie and wish nothing but the best for him," Ford said in a statement announcing the dismissal, according to CBS Sports' Jeff Borzello. "We want him to find success in his future, wherever that may be."

The school denied Clark's allegations in a statement to the Tulsa World, saying, "Oklahoma State University has reviewed Mr. Clark’s petition and his claims are completely and utterly baseless."

While Clark and the school appeared to maintain an amicable partnership while he made 16 appearances and shot 40.9 percent from three-point range as a key reserve for the Cowboys, the relationship has become contentious more than a year after his departure from the program.
