NCAA says that Tressell is NOT "forthright"...

Didn't realize that. Still seeing a lot of sad faces around here so thought nothing good had been reported.

Doesn't matter anyways .... anything that comes out doesn't matter either till the NCAA has thier "Statement" day in August ... all of our opinions don't mean a da*n thing till the NCAA says so.

I really haven't had much to say of late because I know it doesn't matter till the date in August.

Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder says college players should be able to sell their game jerseys -- something he "hypothetically" did when he played for the Florida Gators.

Crowder discussed the subject during the debut of his new two-hour weekly talk show on WQAM radio in Miami.

"I'll say hypothetically I don't have any more of my Florida jerseys," Crowder said Sunday. "There were some Jacksonville businessmen that really hypothetically liked my play."

Is this enough info for Florida to be the next to be investigated???
Depends. Is the player that "hypothetically" did it still there? If not, kinda hard to suspend him.

Also, did Zook know about it and cover it up?
Remember, the real reason Ohio St. is in trouble isn't about players selling things, it's about the Head Coach covering it up and then later lying during the the NCAA investigation.

That difference is why Georgia only lost AJ Green for 4 games, and why Ohio St. is looking at probation and forfeiting games. Also why Richt is still employed and Tressel isn't.

USC and the Reggie Bush scandal was investigated when Reggie Bush was no longer in school. The player won't get in trouble, but the school still can.

The school got hammered because an asst. coach knew about Bush. Several things led to them getting "Lack of Institutional Control".

That's why I asked the question whether Zook knew or not. If not, then it does rise to Institutional Control.

What about AJ Green? Who knew about him selling jerseys?

Don't remember who exactly found out about it.
But when it was found out, Georgia immediately held him out until the NCAA could rule, and then held him out longer once the NCAA told them to.

He was involved in no games between the jersey or sitting out though.
 
I know the sale of cars to athletes was a topic of concern to many.... looks like it's a non-issue now....

BMV finds no illegalities in sales to OSU players | BuckeyeXtra
Interesting quote from the article"

"The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles reported yesterday that there were no dealer paperwork irregularities on 25 vehicle purchases it examined. But the BMV did not search for possible NCAA violations, saying it was outside its purview.
Ohio State officials said they called off their outside investigation because the BMV and a private review on behalf of a dealer did not turn up any evidence of NCAA violations."

Reading at face value, it says Ohio St. is calling off their investigation because the BMV cleared the dealer and didn't find any NCAA violations, even though the BMV wasn't looking for NCAA violation.

Kinda hard to find something you're not looking for.
 
Don't want a witch hunt, don't even care about the BMV thing. I just think it's funny to close your own investigation saying it's not needed since another investigation didn't find anything that it wasn't looking for.

That's like saying my car brakes must be okay and therefore don't need to be looked at, because someone else checked the headlights and didn't find anything wrong with the brakes.

So for people to say this vindicates someone is at most humerous, because it did no such thing.

From your own post - (again)

Enlarged, so you don't miss it this time.
 
Ohio State says it's vacating its wins from the 2010 football season, including the Buckeyes' victory over Arkansas in the 2011 Sugar Bowl.

Responding to NCAA allegations over a memorabilia-for-cash scandal that cost former coach Jim Tressel his job, Ohio State says Friday it also is waiving a $250,000 fine it had imposed on Tressel and changing his resignation to a retirement. Through the school, the ex-Buckeyes coach says that he is taking responsibility for the NCAA inquiry, which developed after it was learned Tressel failed to report players receiving improper benefits.
