Exactly.

If Ohio State were seriously looking at the "death penalty" (which, for several reasons discussed, they are not), there's absolutely no way they report Tressel's failure to disclose. No way.

And if the players who received the benefits would have only been subject to a 2-game suspension as opposed to the 4-game suspension A.J. Green received or the full-year suspension the UNC players received, he may have been more inclined to self report. As it stands, the NCAA already levies obscene punishments to student-athletes for minor violations of NCAA rules. If those same players had committed a DUI, they'd probably only be suspended for 2 games. Tell me the logic in that...

The NCAA needs to get a grip on its punishments if it wants to uncover the dirt going on in college athletics. There's too much incentive right now to hide it. And that's exactly what coaches like Tressel are doing.

To the bold: I don't believe the NCAA will levy any punishment at all in those cases, that is completely left up to the school's administration.

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.

That's an awfully low price. A quick search on Autotrader showed that a 2007 300C is listed between $15-$22k today in my area. Buying it for under those prices 4 years ago doesn't look good to me.

I bought a used Tahoe for $2600 under the low range on Auto trader. I guess the guy just wanted to get rid of the gas guzzler that was sitting on his lot for 6 months.

Could be, but I remember selling a car with a bluebook over $18k for $7k back in my dealership days. Auction price was $2k with minimal in-house repair costs, and they would always take the immediate cash flow over waiting for a higher margin buyer. Markup on used cars was well over 100% on average. I also took something like $7k off the price of my last new car with incentives and credit card points. A used car in the same model year might well have a lower dealer acquisition cost and still be eligible for incentives. It's usually the specific car, not the specific person, that makes for a cherry deal. On this one, I vote not a concern unless otherwise documented.

The prices I listed are 2011 prices for a 2007 vehicle. He bought it in 2007 which was the current model year. I don't even want to hazard a guess as to what the pricing was back then.

Did you know you can put down $0 for sale price to avoid taxes?

I thought that sounded somewhat low also, but for the tOSU compliance department it's a helluva lot better than $0. :tongue2: The car reportedly had 13,760 miles on it, also.

It sucks being under the microscope, it's not easy to get through something like this without more dirt being uncovered somewhere.

You've always sounded like a used car dealer to me. Now I know why. :biggrin:
