"He said Pryor was paid $500 to $1,000 each time he signed mini football helmets and other gear for a Columbus businessman and freelance photographer, Dennis Talbott."

This has to be a gross exageration. You can buy mini-helmets of Ex-OSU stars for less than $100. Even Eddie George mini helmets are going on E-Bay right now for $140-$150. Hard to believe anyone would pay a $1000 for Pryor at any time.

Flooding the market with his now ruined name. We are clearly dealing with a fucking genius here. Go fuck yourself Terrelle Pryor. Have your tatoo removed and then fuck yourself again. Cocksucker...

And fuck yourselves all you full grown adults who allowed this fuck to do whatever the fuck he wants. Plausible deniability ends when this shit hits ebay. That's part of your fucking job description. No way they didn't know this was going on with this kind of volume. Fuck all of you. Hope to see all of you on food stamps. It's fucking couch burning time...

Yeah, it's very unlikely it would happen, but if this is investigated very thoroughly and players are discovered receiving this many benefits back to 2001, it could get even uglier.

We were already investigated back then - twice. Not only were we cleared, our compliance program was commended for its exemplary performance.

I am so frustrated at this point, NOTHING that comes out in the future will surprise me. I did however have a feeling that T(oilet)P(aste) was going to be gone, but the thing about the autographs is just more garbage being dumped on the pile that eventually will leave OSU buried. It doesn't help that the media these days are salivating at any chance to find even the most minute detail and making a name for themselves.

While I have no doubt something was amiss and that some of the original allegations bear fruit, what we're seeing now are increasingly extraordinary allegations from "anonymous" sources and "former friends". Both smell of opportunism. I'm not a well ,the first stuff was true so this must be true too kind of guy, but I am an every person you ever pissed off will jump at the first chance to get even with you kind of guy.

Let's just say I'm going to need something more to buy into this week's stories.

Geiger left.... an incompetent fool took over....guys like Malcomb Jenkins, James Lauranaitis were no longer the influncial leaders and the lunitics took over the asylum.....mix that with complete enabling and you have this....the first half of Tress's career is also covered under the statute of limitations

Can I just ask this?.....

How is someone able to sell all of their gear with autographs without the Athletic Department asking where it went????
Click to expand...

Unless the University is taking an inventory, once it's in the kids hands it is as good as gone. How is he able to sell it? Either directly or through "intermediaries" which Pryor appears to have plenty of....

Could Pryor be arrested for stealing university property on top of tax evasion?
Click to expand...

Doubtful. It appears that every other player was taking things home from the University, jerseys, cleats, all of it. As for tax evasion, I don't think they usually arrest people unless the situation gets a lot worse than it is now and even then I don't think those people are specifically arrested just for tax evasion. I could be wrong though....

The university, irregardless of the free reign Pryor and others had, should seek repayment for stolen gear, IMO.

Am I taking crazy pills? Seriously...?
Click to expand...

Not crazy, but I don't think we are going to see any repayment anytime soon.

I'd bet on a change of policy though. And probably a GA or two taking inventory of a players university-related belongings.

Shit I'd imagine we could find instances of people swapping gear for tats going back well into the Cooper era.....I don't think that's really the point at this point, get the point? :wink:

They sure were, in 2008 when the alleged $1,000-per-week autographs were happening. In fact, they were the senior leadership.

You can't let these guys off the hook for Terrelle's alleged misdeeds, if you hold others responsible.
