Carter Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 AUBURN - The Auburn football program has contracted with a private security firm to help enforce player curfews, an official with the company confirmed to The Advertiser.Stanley Dallas, the Auburn Regional Manager of the Event Operations Group, confirmed members of his staff are working in conjunction with members of Auburn’s football player development department to “enforce” player curfews throughout the week.The Event Operations Group, Inc. is a “national full service event management, staffing, and security provider,” according to its website. The firm is used by facilities across the country, including at Auburn and other SEC schools such as Ole Miss and Mississippi State, to staff on-campus events in a variety of capacities including security, parking attendants and stadium ushers.Curfews are a common practice on the evenings before games but Auburn instituted a nightly curfew, a far more rare practice, and the use of paid personnel from a private security firm to assist in enforcing a curfew may be unprecedented.“We always do what’s in the best interest of our team,” Auburn coach Gene Chizik said. “We have a curfew check and we have to employ people to help us with some of the kids off campus. Other than that I’m not going into any details of any of that.“I’ve got one focus and that is Georgia. So we got our work cut out for that and be glad to answer any questions about Georgia.”Dallas said the operation – which includes members of his staff going to the homes of football players who live off-campus and confirming they are home by the team’s 11 p.m. curfew – began shortly after the arrest of center Reese Dismukes for public intoxication on Aug. 25. Dallas said when the use of his staff for curfew checks began a few players were not pleased and had to be spoken to by members of the Player Development staff.How many members of the EOG are used in the operation, their works hours, compensation and level of training is unclear. When called by the Advertiser for additional information, Dallas said he would have to check with his corporate office to see what he could disclose.http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/article/20121107/SPORTS0402/121107013/-liNoHeading-?odyssey=mod%7Cnewswell%7Ctext%7CSports%7Cs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGDawg710 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) Sounds like someone's pulling out all the stops to keep from getting canned...It actually started before their season began, so it doesn't seem to be a result of their record...obviously it isn't making much of a difference though.
