Now, you'd have to think an ill-gotten SUV and academic fraud would be a lot easier to uncover than a discount price to fix an overbite

That's a pretty good line from Lopresti's USA-Today article from the above Yahoo link.

I know he was exploring all facets which is nice to see, but why did he lead with the covering the tracks in every situation? I felt that was kind of a cheap shot after the bell, so to speak, because to me I think the program has been open from the start, but maybe I read too much into it...

I took that as more of a sarcastic slam at Clarett and Friend...

Exactly osugrad...when i first started to read the article i started to get all pissy towards the USAToday writer then i realized it read more like a sarcastic slam as you described.

Too bad we won't be able to convince 105,000 - Our friends from Texas to wear black suits (ala mafiaoso) to the Shoe'/Gameday set. What a scene that would make. Maybe just a few very well-placed for camera coverage folks dressed that way....:biggrin:

NCAA investigation still seeking Clarett

By Marc Katz

Dayton Daily News

With the announcement in June that the NCAA found no major rules violations in the Ohio State football program despite allegations from one-time star tailback Maurice Clarett, it appeared that case was closed.

Apparently, it isn't. When the NCAA released a series of allegations against OSU — most involved the men's basketball program — it said Clarett would not answer repeated calls.

"When we have somebody who has given public allegations of serious violations, we're not going to stop simply because he doesn't call back," said David Price, vice president of NCAA Enforcement Services.

Steve Feldman, Clarett's agent, confirmed the NCAA has called.

"They tried to contact him and they tried to contact me," he said.

"That's old news and doesn't serve anybody well. There's not a damn good thing that can come out of that. Maurice has passed that chapter in his life.

"Maurice has always said he loved Ohio State, and that's how he'll leave it."

Well, MoC has already passed his expiration date, so I doubt much will be made of this. No way will E!spn find time to squeeze any of this in between there round-the-clock T.O. coverage. Then again, maybe I'm just naive.

NCAA still wants to talk to Clarett

With the announcement in June that the NCAA found no major rules violations in the Ohio State football program despite allegations from one-time star tailback Maurice Clarett, it appeared that case was closed.

Apparently, it isn’t. When the NCAA released a series of allegations against OSU — most involved the men’s basketball program — it said Clarett would not answer repeated calls to various numbers.

“When we have somebody who has given public allegations of serious violations, we’re not going to stop simply because he doesn’t call back,� said David Price, vice president of NCAA Enforcement Services. “We’ll do everything we can to talk to that person. We are adamant we will get an answer. We’re not going to just leave it because he doesn’t call back.�

Steve Feldman, Clarett’s agent, confirmed that the NCAA has called.

“They tried to contact him and they tried to contact me,� Feldman said.

“That’s old news and doesn’t serve anybody well. There’s not a damn good thing that can come out of that. Maurice has passed that chapter in his life.

“Maurice has always said he loved Ohio State, and that’s how he’ll leave it.�

Clarett presently is trying to make the roster of the NFL’s Denver Broncos.

Maurice Clarett Released by Broncos

MoC just was released by the Denver Broncos according to ESPNRadio. Does anyone have any web articles on this yet?

(Grumblegrumble...yes, ESPN Radio. It's 5:34 and they're talking about it now, if you have XM radio.)
