Just because I'm curious and so forth... what ever happened with all that sink around Joe McKnight's Range Rover?

Wasn't mentioned in the NCAA findings against USC; was it ruled OK, was it not investigated, or did ESPN just stop covering it?

Given the recent revelations, is it possible that we'll be cited with the dreaded 'lack of institutional control' penality?

The relevant revelation revealed in that article is that the institution controlled itself by monitoring all of these automobile transactions and now is double checking them. That's what institutional control is.

What revelations?

You KNOW, the ones that revealed that friends and family members do business at the same establishment which is per se violative of NCA....I mean the revelation that Thad Gibson was given a free car which he admitt...wait he denied that...there was the revelation that the compliance department was completely unaware of some of their players transacti...no wait...the one where the compliance department defiantly refused to look into this any furthe...nope...There is the one that revealed that some players might have had a friend who was a car dealer, put him on their ticket list, which is definitive proof of quid pro quo...or isn't depending on what you wish to believe.

The question NCAA, hell even I, would want to ask is, why didn't they take care of this earlier when the deals were being made? Why wait until the shit hit the fan to come out with everything?

Well, it depends on what they find.

The NCAA requested documentation regarding preferential treatment received as a part of the NOA (item h in the first set of requests), so it would make sense that the University was documenting their decision making on the matter.

If they find something "significant", it wouldn't be surprising if another level of sanction is on the table, as happened with FSU.

If the University's documentation and paperwork are all squared away, then there shouldn't be an issue outside of the court of public opinion. And, as far as that goes, there's really not much that can happen in Columbus to improve it.

it sounds like there is more coming down the pike. more specifically, it sounds like there will be nosy journalists and investigators rooting through ohio state's trash until there is enough to hang the program. if this happens, then i hope that college football burns to the ground.

Actually he claimed OSU requires all transactions to be reported but added he wasn't a car expert and had to rely on the integrity of the dealers in regards to the appropriate price being charged. Standard legal disclaimer stuff.

Now I wouldn't expect the OSU compliance office to know a car should sell for $12K when it was sold for $10K but if there was any type of actual oversight going on I think any prudent person should ask questions about a for profit business selling a product to anyone for $0.

Mistake in the paperwork or not, if there is an actual vetting process (they claim to review all transactions and now double checking), if the institution is in control how does that get through? You don't need to be a car expert to know cars shouldn't be free.

The most logical answer, the one that requires the fewest assumptions, is that the vetting process, like any other big school has, is one in name only meant to satisfy the letter of the NCAA law should it ever be looked into. There is no way the NCAA can do shit about the $12K/$10K scenario because you can just cite the condition of the car. Pretty much the only way you can eff this up is to have shit like $0 cars get all the way to the state title department.

Even if an individual is o.k. with the idea that the OSU athletic department engages in just as many shenanigans as anyone else, at this point you have to start to wonder why so many smart people suck so badly at it?
