Yahoo, Tattoos, and tOSU (1-year bowl ban, 82 scholly limit for 3 years)

[WolverineMike]

I would, for a free education and all the ladies of The Ohio State University i could handle....plus when I was in college all they would see is an over draft from a bar tab and Mark Pi's express time stamped 3am

yeah, I see no problem in letting them have access, unless you're dumb enough to deposit all the money you're taking right into that account.....

The only way GS can save himself and maybe lessen the judgement is that when tOSU sends their response to the NCAA that he dumps it all in JT's lap and tries to protect the Compliance Dept. by saying that JT kept everything from him and them and tried to inhibit any internal investigation..we worry about what the media and NCAA will say about JT..we may be shocked to hear it from our own Administration..

Is there any doubt this is the plan?

Not in my mind.GS didn't hire JT That's why Jt is gone now so he can have this period of good will..before he becomes the 'rogue coach'..

This Bluth character sounds like he should be arrested for impeding Pryor's development.

Maybe that is part of his Gob.

Sources: Terrelle Pryor indulged in golf
Former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor's relationship with memorabilia salesman Dennis Talbott dates to before Pryor ever took the field at Ohio Stadium, sources have told ESPN's "Outside the Lines."
Pryor and several other Buckeyes players were spotted at a private golf course near Columbus three to four times a week in summer 2008 with Talbott, who was a member. It was before Pryor's freshman season, but after he had already enrolled at the university, according to employees of the club, including the general manager.
It is unclear whether any of the players reimbursed Talbott for the $80- to $100-a-round guest fees. Even if they had, gaining access to the club through Talbott was an exclusive benefit and could be an NCAA violation.
At first, general manager Regan Koivisto thought having a few celebrities would generate a good buzz for the Sciota Reserve Country Club. But, he said, he started to worry when they became frequent guests -- and when he learned that Talbott was a sports memorabilia dealer.
"I said, 'This does not smell good,' " Koivisto said. "If anything bad was happening, I didn't want it to be happening on my property."
Koivisto called the Ohio State athletic department and said he spoke to coach Jim Tressel's secretary. He said he told the woman about how he was concerned about Talbott and Pryor playing together at the club.
"She asked, 'Can I have Coach Tressel call you?' I said, 'He can,' " Koivisto said. "Coach never did call me back. But I never saw Pryor at the club again."
No one else from Ohio State contacted Koivisto, either.
Pryor's attorney, Larry James, would not address the golf outings directly.
"These are really recycled stories. I'm just tired. I don't think it serves any purpose going back and forth because every day there is going to be new allegations," James said. "I haven't discussed them, and quite honestly won't be discussing them because they don't add anything to where he is today."
Talbott showed up at the golf club with two or three players at a time during the summer months, and Pryor was out there about nine or 10 times, said an employee at the club who wished to remain anonymous. The only other player he remembered by name was wide receiver DeVier Posey.
Officials with Ohio State said they could not comment on Posey due to federal student privacy rules.
The employee said Talbott was "kind of boastful" about being around Pryor and other star athletes.
"They seemed to be pretty close," he said.
Talbott was a member of the club from May to September 2008, when he was kicked out due to unpaid bills in the "thousands of dollars," Koivisto said.
Earlier this week, OTL spoke to a former friend who said that Pryor netted anywhere from $20,000 to $40,000 in 2009-10 for signing mini football helmets and other gear for Talbott. That source spoke to ESPN under the condition that his face not be aired on TV and that his name not be published.
Talbott twice denied to ESPN that he ever paid Pryor or any other active Buckeyes athlete to sign memorabilia. He said last week he has only worked with former players to set up signings.
James, Pryor's attorney, said Wednesday the report connecting Pryor to Talbott is "fiction."

I don't think what's happened to him has been "unfair". - but that does not mean I don't think it a classic Greek Tragedy. Hell, come to think of it is fits perfectly. A great man in high repute but possessing hamartia (a flaw) that brings the great man down - a peripeteia, or reversal (great news about being Sugar Bowl eligible, only to be forced to resign for not disclosing what he knew), anagnorisis (recognition) where he learns that the secret he kept has been revealed, and all his prior silence for naught - and finally pathos or suffering.

You could put Tress right up there with Oedipus.

Wake me up when Zeus climbs up on a forklift and ties up all the loose ends (Deus ex Machina). Pretty impressive considering how long it's been since you took Intro to Theatre.

Rex or wrecks?

This Bluth character sounds like he should be arrested for impeding Pryor's development.

If it comes out that TP worked summers at a banana stand, I'm gonna move to Montana and work on my manifesto. There's always money in the banana stand.

Not that it matters but does anyone else remember hearing interviews where JT was encouraging TP to pursue golfing because (and i'm paraphrasing) "If you hit a bad shot, you have until you get the the ball to be pissed then you have to hit the short...similar to football and making a bad throw.

A little too soon to start the ironic comments?

Oh yes....this is like a movie we have all been watching for ten years

 

[bucks93]

Is there any doubt this is the plan?

If that falls though, and who knows at this point what the NCAA knows or will know, and it comes out that another person or people () knew what was going on other than Tressel and OSU tries to paint it like it was all Tressel...oh no.


That would be really bad and that would pretty much put us on the same level as USC, wouldn't it, trying to cover it up? Or USC attempted to throw their basketball program under the bus to try and save football, but we saw how that went.

 

[ScriptOhio]

Anybody think we could wake up tomorrow and find out all this NCAA violation stuff was just a (bad) dream and never really happened?

Me neither, I guess that can only happen on TV.....

 

[Onebuckfan]

I wouldn't mind waking up and find out TP signed with scum 4 years ago..

Script: posting a picture of Patrick Duffy in the shower is a dingable offense. Though, knowing that's Patrick Duffy is probably also dingable.

Script just loves seeing Duffy in water - he was a huge fan af Aquaman.

I preferred seeing Victoria Principal in the shower, and I only remember Aquaman from the commercials, I swear!
