Wichita ? A federal grand jury has indicted former Barton County Community College coach Ryan Wolf on charges that he illegally provided financial help and false academic credentials to several athletes, including former Missouri guard Ricky Clemons.

The 36-count indictment also charges Wolf, 32, of Martinsville, Ind., with providing false information about the athletes to officials at Missouri, San Jose State, Brigham Young and Barton County Community College, U.S. Attorney Eric Melgren said Tuesday.

The indictment charges that from May 1998 to June 2003, Wolf recruited athletes to play basketball for the junior college in Great Bend, then used his faculty position to get them grants they were not qualified to receive and campus jobs that paid them for work they did not perform.

Melgren said he did not know how aware the athletes were of the fraud, but no indictments were expected against them.

Clemons was booted from the Missouri basketball program after serving 60 days in a county jail for assault and false imprisonment. Clemons’ claims that coaches at Missouri gave him money led to an investigation.

Along with Clemons, other athletes involved include fellow Missouri recruit Randy Pulley, Jason Carter, Carlton Baker, Eric Washington and Justin Rose.
