Ohio State University's chief enforcer of NCAA rules said yesterday that he will investigate used-car purchases made by dozens of OSU athletes at two Columbus car dealers to see if any sale violated collegiate rules.

quote:

The investigation was initiated after The Dispatch found in public records that at least eight Ohio State athletes and 11 athletes' relatives bought used cars from Jack Maxton Chevrolet or Auto Direct during the past five years. The investigation will involve outside experts and examine at least 50 sales, focusing on whether the athletes received improper benefits.


quote:

Public records show that in 2009, a 2-year-old Chrysler 300 with less than 20,000 miles was titled to then-sophomore linebacker Thaddeus Gibson. Documents show the purchase price as $0.

Mauk could not explain it. "I don't give cars for free," he said. Gibson said he was unaware the title on his car showed zero as the sales price. "I paid for the car, and I'm still paying for it," he said, declining to answer further questions


quote:

Mauk estimated that 40 to 50 Buckeyes bought cars from his dealership in the past five or six years .


quote:

Goss and Kniffin both have attended seven football games as guests of players, including the 2007 national championship and the 2009 Fiesta Bowl. At some point after 2008, Archie barred Kniffin from the players' pass list because OSU rules prohibit athletes from inviting people with whom they do business

thanks for the new info

and i like how everybody leaves out this part

quote:

"We'll take a step back, we'll take a look at the transactions and the values, and we'll make some determinations in consultation with the (Big Ten) conference office and go from there," said Doug Archie, associate athletic director and head of compliance at OSU.
"I have nothing to believe a violation has occurred," he said.

Ohio St. is frickED.

None of this shite is out and in the media for nothing.

I don't know about you guys, but I always find it hilarious on these message boards whenever a school is under investigation, said school supports come out in droves to try to make it look like that school did anything wrong. (See Auburn and Ohio St.)

If it were LSU and they were looking down the barrel, I'd probably think they were guilty as frick. Why make myself look like an arse and try to take up for a school, like some of these posters do, that is OBVIOUSLY going to get fricked in the arse because of violations they committed.

I'm not talking about this board.

I've seen comment sections and other boards. I'm not saying EVERYONE does it.....I just see it alot and I think it's ridiculous.

Auburn fans are the worst.

AuburnCPA definitely disagrees.

And he was awful on every board, not just the SEC Rant

Usually I don't revel in other programs getting hit with NCAA violations because I've been there, done that.

But I'll still never forget Jim Delany's open love letter to the SEC with this little gem right here:

"Each school, as well as each conference, simply must do what fits their mission regardless of what a recruiting service recommends. I wish we had six teams among the top 10 recruiting classes every year, but winning our way requires some discipline and restraint with the recruitment process."

Don't think he's back, but he's the golden standard for awful.
