[Treadway21]

Here is an interesting article on the Ohio St scandal. There is some interesting observations about car dealerships.

Of course, the preemptive comment is that scandals like this one are nothing like we had at SMU - just want to get that out of the way before the usual characters do.

Ohio State did not dismiss Small's charges but also didn't sound as if it would try to find out any more about them.

"At this point, the university does not have enough information regarding the reported matters concerning a former student-athlete who has been gone from the football program for two years," athletic department spokesman Dan Wallenberg said in an emailed statement.

Interesting.

Sounds like a piece written by an OSU recruiting coordinator--come here an get a great deal from everyone, rather than an investigation by the NCAA.

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but he emphasized how Treacle, the staff and the players were constantly educated on NCAA rules. Wasn't Ohio State's excuse for the players selling their gear to begin with, "They were never taught the NCAA rules." Now Smalls says in the article that the players were always taught the rules, but didn't care. I wonder how this is all going to play out? I guess it is time for the Savannah College for Arts and Design to have their squash team receive the death penalty.
