Ohio State's Problems

[SoCalTrjn]

If the teams starting QB and 3 other players had been inadequately educated about the rules and that was a mitigating factor in the case, how is that not a lack of institutional control. Remember, USC only had 1 player break the rules and the NCAA admitted that nobody at USC provided any benefits for him but because his mom and step dad showed up at a couple road games and he was seen driving a 10 year old chevy sedan coupled with him being a "star player" USC should have investigated that players family deeper. It was the "star player" should be more scrutinized stand that the NCAA used to lay a LOIC on USC. How do you get more star player than the starting qb?

No, let him die.

3 times in the last year Pryor has been pulled over in vehicles that belong to a local car salesman in Columbus, when the NCAA went to investigate the salesman, there were a dozen or more signed jerseys from Buckeyes players hanging in his office, including one from Pryor.
Surprisingly, or in light of recent happenings, unsurprisingly, the NCAA found nothing wrong with the QB driving around in a Denali.

Freeh needs to keep digging the stuff up and making the NCAA defend their biased ways

I gotta imagine that Dispatch reporter probably gets more hate mail than Obama.

Society hates the truth.

I know Pryor drives a Dodge, but come on.........he gets pulled over 3 times in a year and all 3 times his car was "in the shop"? Maurice Clarett thinks that's fucking retarded.

[SoCalTrjn]

How many times was he in his own car on top of these three?
How many tickets do you get in a year before they take your license in Ohio?
Who is paying the fines for all of his tickets?

Terrelle Pryor the quarterback is relentless in his desire to succeed
Terrelle Pryor the son wants to provide a better life for his mother

Green recalls a youthful Pryor staying up half the night in his hotel room before a big AAU game, pacing the floor and fretting.

But only a select handful of people know that a big part of Pryor's drive to succeed, to make it to the NFL, is because he wants to pay his mother back for the hardships she endured - for the childhood struggles, the times she could not afford to buy her kids the basics, like a decent pair of shoes.

"What pushes me is just being great at what I do every day," Pryor said. "But at the same time, I want to give my mother something she never had. There's times she didn't have a job and I had to give her my (OSU scholarship) checks.

"I'm open to say that, because it's the truth. That's something that pushes me, besides trying to be great."

Pryor was 8 years old when his parents divorced. Craig Pryor left a legacy of competitiveness in his son, but the split fractured their relationship for a long time.

"It just pushes you away a little bit, like, 'Why? Why did you leave my mother?'" Pryor said. "Then you see your mother struggling, and you still question that."

No NCAA violation found in Pryor using loaned cars

...Pryor currently drives a black Dodge Charger that he bought used from a lot in his hometown (Jeannette) in 2009, Archie said. Even before Pryor stepped on campus in 2008, he said the NCAA had examined the car he was driving at the time because he was a high-profile recruit.

[I take the above to mean that he was driving one car when he stepped on campus in 2008, then sold it and bought a used Dodge Charger in 2009. Not that the NCAA was able to travel through time and clear in 2008 a car that he was going to buy in 2009.]

So, while in college, the kid buys a Dodge Charger (assuming its the newer version, wouldn't have been more than a 3 year old car, currently 2006 Chargers are selling for around $15,000+ in Jeanette, PA), tats up his body and claims that he paid for all of them.

On the other hand, he says that his mom is so poor that he sends her his scholarship checks and that he sold his memorabilia to help her out? The same mom he visited with the "borrowed" 2004 GMC Denali (wow, a lot nicer than a Chevy Impala) he drove from Columbus OH to Jeanette PA to see if she was interested in buying it? What was she going to use to pay for it? His scholarship checks and signed memorabilia?

Christ, the NCAA spent 5 years on Reggie-Gate and OSU is going to get a free pass on this moron? It's pretty clear how full of shit he is based upon the two above linked articles that basically exonerate him, his own tweets, and a search on cars.com. In-fucking-credible.

best part: NCAA FOUND NOTHING SUSPICIOUS

fucking ponderous. he only gets pulled over when he is borrowing a car or getting a loaner.

Last year the NCAA ruled that Joe McKnight was ineligible for USCs bowl game because Joe was seen driving his fiances car. She happened to be in the car as well as their new born baby since he was "seen" driving her car when he was taking them home from the hospital.
Earlier this year Dillon Baxter was ruled ineligible for 1 game because he received a 50 yard ride in a golf cart owned by a student at USC who had filed to be an agent with the NFL but has no clients. Baxter was on crutches at the time and just took the ride.
Ohio State now has had 375 violations in the last few years and it is USC that is hit with the LOIC.
The Sugar Bowl and the BCS lobbied with the NCAA to not suspend the Ohio State players for the bowl game because of the adverse effect it would have on the games television ratings and the betting line. Sounds like a RICO case with multiple conspirators now
