I guess I was wondering this: if the Tat-5 said they sold their stuff because their families needed the money, would that make TP's family poor? And if they were poor, could both TP's mom and his brother afford cars too?

Sorry, but I don't know about his family background, other than the parents are either divorced or separated, and that he's from Pennsylvania. Is the brother who bought the car older or younger, in school or out, living at home or not, able to afford a car, etc.? If the Pryors were on the low side of the economic scale, three of them buying a car might raise an eyebrow if you didn't know about the real situation.

Mike Adams is from Dublin. I don't know or pretend to know any of the players families financial situations. I do know that even I didn't believe that their families needed them to sell shit to make ends meet, especially after they all came back for their senior seasons.

But whenever the day comes that your family doesn't need any more money, holla at cha boy.

They shouldn't be reporting unless there's a story to report. There are a lot more names than Gibson in that article, and it seems that the focus has been on Gibson in this thread. I still find it fishy that so many student-athletes and their families went to the same guy. But if there's nothing, the Dispatch deserves all of the blame for [Mark May]ty reporting.

Kurt Coleman was on with the Common Man and Torg today and emphatically stated that Kniffin did not sell a car to his brother as reported by the Dispatch's (non-Sports) investigative team.

He's just afraid the NCAA will bring the hammer down on Philadelphia Eagles athletics.

The headline shows up on the front page, the correction is buried inside. Shocking.

OSU football: Older title shows player paid $13,700 for his car

BMV records show that former linebacker Thaddeus Gibson paid $13,700 for a 2007 Chrysler 300C that he bought from former Jack Maxton salesman Aaron Kniffin in June 2007.

The Dispatch reported last week that the title to Gibson's car listed the purchase price as zero. Jack Maxton owner Jeff Mauk said he couldn't explain the reason.

But a prior title on the vehicle obtained by The Dispatch yesterday shows that the car with 13,760 miles was purchased on June 27, 2007, and financed through Huntington National Bank. The title without a purchase price was issued on March 6, 2008, with Huntington still listed as the lender.

So what if he did. Most sales people try to build a clientele. This is typically done through...wait for it...referrals....

All successful sales people make their living from referrals. As a sales person you are taught to ask for them. Any sales guru, book, or top sales person will tell you referrals are where its at....

The fact that Kniffin sold cars to multiple OSU related people being an issue is just fucking ludicrous.....

Kniffin said yesterday that he and his family have been unfairly harassed in the past week.

Kniffin acknowledges that he developed relationships with the players and their families, but he said they represent a small percentage of his customers and that others had final say on car sales.

Harassed.....by whom? My first instinct was to say that fringe element of crazy fans, but at this point, I'm thinking the media is doing most, if not all of the harassing.

Not entirely on topic, but here's an article from ESPiN saying the NCAA president wants stiffer punishment. This makes me more apprehensive of August 12th. Here we go.

Mark Emmert wants stiffer punishments

Mark Emmert wants to start hitting NCAA rule-breakers hard.

The governing body's president said Tuesday he wants schools that violate the rules to pay a stiff penalty -- one that's punitive enough to make coaches and others think twice about cheating.

"We need to make sure our penalty structure and enforcement process imposes a thoughtful level of concern, and that the cost of violating the rules costs more than not violating them," Emmert said.

He offered no specifics, though Emmert already has taken a tough tack.
