But this article exposes the root cause: the charity didn't get permission from OSU compliance like they did in 2007 and 2010. If they would have done that, then the kids would have just submitted their expenses, and would been reimbursed for a per-diem (or fraction) AND mileage directly by OSU...

Best Explanation Yet Just saw this one from cleveland.com which definitely fills in the blanks on DiGeronimo's actions. The bottom line is that the guy has been a booster for many years, knew that what he was doing was wrong, but did it anyway because he thought that no one would get caught...

I remember that one too...thought that maybe there were 5 in all...

And another thing Being that I hijacked the thread a bit Bucks 28, 'Canes 14

If there really were no other expense reimbursements and the guys paid their own costs for gas and whatever along the way, and were simply reimbursed improperly from a procedural standpoint then it is a pretty harsh penalty. But all the guys know not to take cash reimbursements....or cash from...

Naaaah. Those checks get cut to the players within a week. OSU handles collecting money from the charity. At the end of the day it is a simple thing to understand that you don't take money in envelopes

Thank God for that. At least TP cant be called a booster himself

Every player in every sport is briefed on expense reimbursement procedures. Normally, when compliance approves a function, they will quickly reimburse the players for their expenses even if the charity or group takes awhile to reimburse OSU directly; which they are told they have to do. The...

The charity has to reimburse OSU, and then OSU has to reimburse the players. This is all administered out of the compliance office

For players, it is very similar to a standard business expense report without any provisions for entertainment or purchase of material. Mileage is at a standard rate and there is a per-diem.

Thats fair, I don't want to believe it myself. But all the players (in any sport) know that expense money must go to OSU first, and OSU then reimburses it to the players directly. Travelling even short distances is commonly done and this is the way that expenses have been handled going back...

Blaming TP I am sure that many will blame TP for this and possibly a lot of other stuff that will come out in the future. Some of the blame will be justified and some wont, but TP has little credibility left to argue about any charges. Remember, all of this stuff happened AFTER he had...

Several questions answered It seems like the Digeronimo's answer cleared up a few questions. 1) Who was the source of the money 2) Why the players thought it was ok to take it. TP was a team leader at the time and Hall certainly would have trusted him. 3) What other potential problems TP has...

Syrians & Iranians The domers may be the only clowns that are more arrogant than the scUM, so I generally hope for a serious beat-down on them every week. For me, taking sides in a battle between between the two of them would be a bit like taking sides in a war between the Syrians and the...

The latest drivel from "Bike 0-4 Hart" Mike Hart, the former Michigan star, insists he's done with playing, injuries having cut his career short. "If some team called and asked if I wanted to sign with them, I'd say, 'No, thanks.' No question about it. I've made a decision and I'm committed to...

Schlegel I bet that Schlegel is one of the unsung heros of this team. He is just so frigging tough and hard working that a bit of him has to be rubbing off on guys like Hank, Simon and the rest of the guys. Brewster's comments about Big Hank are going to prove to be prophetic

Curious I wonder if all of the bounties, bonuses and other cash comp put "da U" over the salary cap

For now, Pryor has good people around him. Say what you want about Rosenhaus; he is a pro and got Ken Anderson to work with TP and certainly improved his stock in the draft. Hopefully TP will keep the people around him that tell him the truth so that he can make the most of this opportunity...

Relax, I have all of their stuff on my iPhone and was happy to buy all of it

Here is an idea that would never work because most Boards of Trustees would never agree to it; Have three grades of infraction. Minor infractions (improper gifts less than $1000)...Grade 1) player and or coach suspensions (fines are a university issue) as sanctions. Major infractions (pay to...
