Correct me if I am wrong

How I read the new article about Brian, there actually is nothing bad for the program at all... Unless I missed it he was offered something and he turned it down. He didn't say the coaches offered him the car... he could be talking about me offering him the car. (again if I have missed something about somebody in the school being the one offering the car please correct me.)

I think this shows that atleast some of the kids have been taught the right way and understand what is right or wrong. Again I can't see how this can be viewed as anything but a positive for the program?

which brings up the question...why is it front page news on CBS. Someone offered a star athlete something. It is only a story if he took it.

Only at Ohio State are star athletes offered improper benefits. Everywhere else, boosters are pure as the driven snow.

Clearly you haven't been paying attention.

this just in....TP was on the highway, he was going 65 MPH, but he almost got up to 66 MPH which would have been speeding.

Looks even worse for Pryor. I am so damn mad about this whole situation.

For one thing the title of the article is very misleading. "Former Buckeye LB says he was offered a car". He was not offered a car. He was offered a deal on a car. "I bought a 2002 VW Jetta in ?09 and someone offered to give me another car, a better car, and cheaper, ". The part of the quote saying "and cheaper" tells me the car was not free as the headline implies.

Secondly, getting deals on cars is not exclusive to football players. When I bought my last car we sat with the salesman and he asked me basically "Do you want to pay the sticker price". I said "no". He said "I din't think so, make me an offer". I am not naive enough to think that a deal I would get would be equal to the deal an OSU football player would get, but it is part of the car buying experience.

maybe my understanding of the case is wrong but didn't Cecil ask for the money?

Cecil asking for money is wrong...someone trying to give cecil money and him not taking it is not wrong. Rolle didn't ask for a car.


nice try Smoov

Surely you aren't trying to claim that an OSU booster offering an OSU student athlete a car isn't a legit news story?

Edit: it's a legit news story no matter where it happens.
