Prosecutors charge man who bought Ohio State memorabilia

Documents show Rife will plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute more than 200 pounds of marijuana, and one count of money laundering.

You know, there's a reason that Ed Jennings tried to help lure the Cardinals to Columbus before they left for Arizona--even offering to let them use Ohio Stadium. It was so that people like him could go be a "quality fan" for somebody else.

Not that 200lbs of weed is a small deal,but the money laundering is probably at the top of the list.

No, John Wolfe--and the rest of Jim Rhodes' holdovers on the board, including more than one local car dealer--were responsible for firing Earl Bruce.

Ed Jennings spent a decade undoing the craphole that Rhodes had put the university in, including doing the fundraising for that cancer hospital that you're so proud of.
