ESPN Radio & TV News is reporting the OSU Basketball Coach Jim O'Brien has been dismissed from The Ohio State University.
Paraphrase: "Jim was involved in some type of NCAA violation regarding an improper benefit provided to a recruit who family was in dire straights. The recruit did NOT sign with OSU"
This is as yet unconfirmed at OSU.
Nixon, has a thread started (Nixon's Thread) in the Basketball foum on this topic. He noted that WTVN announced (approximately 2 pm) that there was a "Major Shakeup" coming for the basketball program and a news conference to be held at 3pm today. I just heard on ESPN the above news and 1460, then broke into the ESPN programming to reiterate the news.
Great job on the "scoop" Nixon .. I know we all (especially Nixon) wish it was better news than this.
