QB Art Schlichter (sad)

Not a secret. Schlicter grew up on a 1000 acre farm around horses. His parents owned race horses and had a luxury box on the finish line at Scioto Downs. Coach Bruce, coincidentally, owned race horses too.

Earle and Art went to the track together because they had a mutual love of race horses, not because Earle was enabling him.

Here's an old article dated 1983 from the Times:

I didn't mean that I thought Earl was enabling Art.

Art was going to be a 4 alarm gambling addict the first time someone showed him how to make a bet no matter who it was.

No more that persons "fault" than a bartender giving a future alcoholic his first drink.

He's in my group of Buckeye greats from the period.

Holyyyyyyyyyyyy shit......I never heard about this, and I've been creeping this board for the better part of 8-10 years. I just spent the last 45 min bouncing around this rabbit hole in and out of BP. Unreal....
