First Oregon found themselves in hot water last week, and now it seems some of the focus might be switching to Ohio State.
Ohio State coach Jim Tressel was informed that several Buckeyes players were selling memorabilia more than eight months before the school claims it was made aware of the scheme, a two-month Yahoo! Sports investigation has found.
Tressel received information that players were selling items to Edward Rife – the owner of Fine Line Ink Tattoos in Columbus – as early as April 2010, according to a source. However, neither Ohio State nor the NCAA investigated the transactions or the players’ relationship with Rife until December 2010, when the school claims it was informed of the situation by the local United States Attorney’s office.
I suggest you go and read the entire report, it is pretty good. Unfortunately Ohio State will probably scoot by with a stern talking to by the NCAA. We all know the NCAA will fail to do their job once again...
