Ohio either has sunshine/open meeting laws or it doesn't. I would assume that is the focus of the problem: what the law requires, not what the Dispatch wants or tOSU is willing to offer.

No, the focus is whether the content of the meeting discussion falls within those open meeting laws or not. Gee and Wexner said it doesn't, and the meeting has come and gone and isn't coming back, so again this appears to be the Dispatch trying to pour weak fuel onto smoldering coals.

Fine, then everything I said without the "no" at the beginning. This is the same thing that the Dispatch always got its knickers in a twist at Tressel for: we need access! Let us in! Tell us everything! (because we're on you're side, really we are, go bucks)

Go back to the Columbus Magazine article about who has the cadmium clad lead balls in Columbus, Wolfe or Wexner. The article seemed to suggest the two were totally simpatico. This seems to suggest a wee bit of friction.

Probably more than wee, unless you think the Wolfes are just fine and dandy with Wex taking their decades-long spot at the top of the Columbus power structure. It's just that little cousin John F. isn't as willing/able as John W. was to take on Wexner in a public pissing contest.

The Ohio State Scandal Scorecard

By Tony Gerdeman

For a while there, it would be hard to go an entire week without hearing about yet another purported violation involving somebody in Ohio State's football program.

Regardless of whether or not each accusation proved true or was rebutted, the damage was done. Every story was gobbled up as fact, and repeated with variances and additions.

Back in early May, The Columbus Dispatch reported that several Ohio State football players and their family members had purchased cars from one particular salesman.

People heard "Ohio State football players" and "cars" and completely ignored the part about the cars being purchased. But now that Cargate has apparently been dismissed, don't expect the national opinion of Ohio State to have this particular escapade stricken from the record.

That's essentially the case for every accusation, real or imagined, involving Ohio State right now. So in an effort to keep track of the real, imagined and yet to come, we decided to see where each of the accusations stand.

We don't need to address the original situation that saw six Buckeyes suspended because that was admitted to and has been dealt with by both Ohio State and the NCAA.

We are just focusing on the things that have come out since then. Granted, there are a lot, so apologies in advance if we've missed your favorite violation.

This is not meant as a refutation of wrongdoings, because there have certainly been some very serious violations that have taken place. Rather, this is meant to simply take stock of what we know, where we are, and what is no longer an issue.

This might take a while, so let's get this rolling.

.............................................................................................................................................

Terrelle Pryor's 350Z
Much buzz was made when Pryor showed up at a team meeting following Jim Tressel's resignation driving a sleek black car with temporary tags.

More than anything it showed a lack of understanding of the greater situation, which is not an NCAA violation. When word spread of Pryor's car, it turned into a frenzy of "Terrelle Pryor shows up in a brand new 350Z!" However, a tiny bit of research would have told anybody that there is no such thing as a 'brand new 350Z' because they stopped making them a few years ago.

Pryor's mother, likely in an effort to keep from being stalked by television stations, eventually produced paperwork showing that she is paying for the car in question. With that, America's long national nightmare was over.

Threat Level: None.

In Summary

Let's look at the violations that we know have definitely occurred to this point:

(2) Jim Tressel played those players knowing they were ineligible.

I've been hearing so much about how Jim Tressel lied when he signed the document stating that he knew of no violations, and yet he knew about them in April, 2010. Personally, I don't care if he signed a pile of papers. He basically lied just by sending his players onto the field. By sending each player onto the field, he's saying, "I know of no violations this player has made."

I'm not trying to turn this into a "hate Tressel" thread - I'm just glad that there's someone who isn't going nuts over the document(s) he signed. There shouldn't need to be anything to sign.

did he know they were ineligible or did he just know that an attorney that is getting disbarred sent him emails that they may be inelgible :)

Still do not understand why ESPN is in with SI boasting on BackDohrmann's article.

I'm surprised they did not go with the damning yet accurate, "Criminal pleas to drug charges in a case related to wrong doing by potentially hundreds of Ohio State players and coaches."

I mean, BP is visited by thousands of people who are potentially perverted, murderer, rapist, kitty abusers. Potentially. Actually, only Thump is.

One of the Big Three in Florida is next in the cross hairs of the NCAA. The info is right there. Just need one on the record.

I think in the round robin system Florida would be next.

But there is always the possibility that South Florida has bypassed the CoCanes as number three, so I have hope....

But if it was an FSU repeat, I might start going to church again. :lol:
