For the record, I now agree that Ohio State should get the death penalty. There is NO WAY IN HELL Gibson could refinance a car and still have his loan at a major bank if he was just some guy and not a former defensive stand out at Ohio State.

I must confess, I feel pretty foolish for not getting my panties in a bunch a lot sooner about this.

I don't know if it's been discussed, but you can put down $0 for the sale price to skate on paying taxes. Just sayin'. Don't know if it's been talked about yet. Just wanted to say that you can not pay sales taxes if you put down zero bucks for the sale price. Now someone come school me on how it's different for dealerships.

If a dealer transfers a vehicle for no consideration to a consumer that is not exempt according to R.C. 5741.02(C)(9), use tax is due on the value of the vehicle. The tax due is computed by using the price paid for the vehicle when the vehicle was acquired by the dealer. If the dealer accepted the vehicle in trade, the amount the dealer allowed as a trade-in will be the amount on which to compute the tax.

Has anybody looked to see exactly what SMU did to get the death penalty? It's pretty bad/funny when you do:

SMU football had already been placed on three years probation in 1985 for recruiting violations. At the time, it had been on probation seven times (including five times since 1974), more than any other school in Division I-A.

Holy crap.....seven times already up to that point.....

However, in 1986, SMU faced allegations that players were still being paid. An investigation found that 21 players received approximately $61,000 in cash payments, with the assistance of athletic department staff members, from a slush fund provided by a booster.

WTF?!? Slush Fund?!? Guess they were looking for some Chick-fil-A too....

Payments ranged from $50 to $725 per month, and started only a month after SMU went on its original probation (though it later emerged that a slush fund had been maintained in one form or another since the mid-1970s). Also, SMU officials lied to NCAA officials about when the payments stopped.
Click to expand...

Holy %#$!%!%! A MONTH after the probation started, they basically said STFU to the NCAA and kept doing that shiat. Why?

While the school had assured the NCAA that players were no longer being paid, the school's board of governors, led by chairman Bill Clements, decided that the school had to honor previous commitments made to the players. However, under a secret plan adopted by the board, the school would phase out the slush once all players that were still being paid had graduated.
Click to expand...

The school had to honor....previous.....committments?!? :rofl:

The infractions committee cited the need to "eliminate a program that was built on a legacy of wrongdoing, deceit and rule violations" as a factor in what is still the harshest penalty ever meted out to any major collegiate program. It also cited SMU's past history of violations and the "great competitive advantage" the Mustangs had gained as a result of cheating.

Now, for all those that are complaining about tOSU deserving the Death Penalty.....I'm not a tOSU fan, or in the fan base (other than coming here and enjoying the posts).....but I'll be damned if I sit here and say that you guys deserve the death penalty for these violations.

Yeah, I've seen all that. But... come on... there was no re-financing of automobiles going on. That fucking Tressel... Gee... Smith...

I've changed my mind again... Ohio State should get the NCAA death penalty. Those three men... a real death penalty.

I'd be even more pissed if it wasn't my own fault for not taking this car thing so seriously in the first place.

Nope - only giving players cash from the freaking SLUSH FUND that had been setup for almost 20 years to go get their OWN rides....

I think that's just frustration talking, dude. It'll get better one way or the other and this will all be past you guys.

Exactly. What's the big deal?

I doubt it. I mean, maybe our next coach can pay players $180,000.00 to secure his commitment, but someone with that kind of ethic is awfully hard to come by.

Well, if the NCAA's reaction since SMU is any indication, they have no intent to do anything about it unless you have a Clarett, Smith, Tressel, hell, and a Larry Phillips incident within a 5 year period:

"SMU taught the committee that the death penalty is too much like the nuclear bomb," said John Lombardi, a University of Florida professor who was the school's president when the Gators went before the NCAA in 1990 for major violations. "It's like what happened after we dropped the (atom) bomb in World War II. The results were so catastrophic that now we'll do anything to avoid dropping another one."
