Maxwell denied ever making such a claim, the Gainesville Sun reported in a story published Saturday.Earlier this week, Maxwell reportedly admitted taking money from sports agents while at Florida. Maxwell, who played for the Gators from 1985 to 1988, confirmed he was paid small amounts of money, $20 or $30 by Hollywood, Fla., agent Greg Latimer.
