COLUMBUS, Ohio - Hall of Famer Jim Brown insists he is not being treated with respect by Ohio State in his role as adviser to suspended tailback Maurice Clarett.
Brown said Ohio State athletic director Andy Geiger was dismissive of him.
"When I am being respected by a mother and son and they are giving me that respect, then I doggone expect to be respected by an athletic director," Brown said. "When you have the power to destroy a kid's life, you have to be gracious in your investigation."
Clarett, one of Ohio State's top players during its run to the national championship, is suspended while the NCAA and the university investigate his behavior off the field.
Brown said Geiger was acting like a "slave master" in an ESPN.com story last week.
"I think Andy Geiger wants to start a revolution. He is acting like a slave master. If Andy Geiger wants to act like God, then this ballgame is over," Brown was quoted as saying.
Geiger shrugged off Brown's comment.
"I do what I think is right. I do the job I'm supposed to do and I respect other people's opinions," Geiger said.
