发帖数: 764 | 1 Ohio State's director of compliance is reviewing at least 50 car sales to
Buckeyes athletes and relatives to see if they met NCAA rules, The Columbus
Dispatch reported Saturday.
Ohio State coach Jim Tressel was notified in April 2010 via emails from a
Buckeyes fan and former player that Ohio State players were trading signed
jerseys and other memorabilia to a Columbus tattoo parlor owner for cash and
reduced-price tattoos.
As part of his punishment for not revealing his knowledge of the players'
NCAA violations, Tressel will attend a five-day compliance seminar in June
in Tampa, Fla.
Even though his contract and NCAA rules required him to notify athletic
director Gene Smith, Ohio State president E. Gordon Gee or the university's
compliance department, Tressel did not do that.
Ohio State spokesman Jim Lynch confirmed Saturday that Tressel would take
part in the NCAA-sponsored event June 6-10 at a resort hotel on the
waterfront.
One of the topics of the compliance seminar -- one of two put on by the NCAA
this summer -- is "Division I Major Infractions."
It was not until more than nine months passed -- and five players including
quarterback Terrelle Pryor had been suspended for the first five games of
the 2011 season -- that Ohio State officials discovered the emails and
confronted Tressel. He finally admitted he knew of the players getting
improper benefits.
Tressel was originally suspended for two games -- later extended to the
first five games this fall to match the punishment of the five players --
and was fined $250,000, required to make a public apology and receive a
public reprimand and to attend an NCAA compliance seminar.
The NCAA is still investigating the actions of the 10-year coach of the
Buckeyes. Ohio State and Tressel are scheduled to appear before the NCAA's
committee on infractions Aug. 12.
The Dispatch reported that a car salesman who received game passes from Ohio
State athletes handled many of the deals at two different dealerships. Ohio
State has since taken the salesman, Aaron Kniffin, off the pass list.

Athletes are prevented from receiving special deals not available to other
students. They are not permitted to trade autographs for discounts. Both
dealerships display signed Ohio State memorabilia in their showrooms.
One car, a 2-year-old Chrysler 300 with fewer than 20,000 miles, was titled
to then-sophomore defensive player Thaddeus Gibson in 2009. Documents show
the purchase price as $0. Gibson said he did not know why the title showed a
zero for the purchase price and said he was still paying for the car.
State law requires dealers to report accurate information about all car
sales for tax purposes.
School officials have seen no evidence of players getting special treatment
in vehicle sales, Douglas Archie, associate athletic director for compliance
, said in a statement Saturday.
"Consistent with our standard procedures, we are nevertheless reviewing
these sales to assure ourselves that our policies were adhered to," he said.
Pryor's mother and brother also purchased cars from the dealerships. Kniffin
loaned his own car to Pryor for a three-day test drive to Pryor's home in
Jeannette, Pa.
Kniffin and the owner of one of the dealerships he worked for, Jason Goss,
have attended seven football games as guests of players, including the 2007
national championship game and the 2009 Fiesta Bowl. | A**1
