The problems with Ohio's political systems, and our reliance on privacy laws to cover up practically everything, has been going on a looooootttttttttttttttttttttttttt longer than the current administration.

Yeah, I'm sure the people at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles are willing to risk their reputation and everything for Ohio State. :rolleyes:
Besides, they found that the sales were legal. That says nothing about whether they were improper deals not available to the public. The ESPN article that Smooth posted suggests it, but that's outside the BMV's purview. The NCAA will still investigate, I'm sure.

Oh I know it definitely has. Ohio and it's past administrations have been working it's way to this point for a long time. Just Kasich seems to be taking things to a whole new level with the way he's running things right now.
Important pieces from the article in the Dispatch yesterday about the BMV report:
The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles reported yesterday that there were no dealer paperwork irregularities on 25 vehicle purchases it examined. But the BMV did not search for possible NCAA violations, saying it was outside its purview.However, the BMV investigators did not interview any players, did not include an examination of OSU compliance records, and did not review any sales beyond those identified by The Dispatch. The BMV did not examine the use of dealer vehicles by at least nine athletes identified by the newspaper through a search of traffic tickets. Player reasons for driving the vehicles were justifiable in eight of the nine cases, OSU officials said.So, on the one hand ... this isn't over for Ohio State, because the BMV's report has no bearing on the NCAA's opinion about whether the sales were permissible. On the other hand, the NCAA may not be able to get the records necessary to make a judgement about the car sales. Weird.With former quarterback Terrelle Pryor departing to turn pro, he has said he will not answer NCAA questions about his use of up to six vehicles.
And the NCAA can't compel two Columbus auto dealerships involved in numerous sales to OSU athletes and their families to turn over records documenting the prices dealers paid or received for the cars.

Ahh man, I goted
Looks like Ohio State is going to avoid the worst, and may not even have so much as a simple bowl or tv ban, now that the NCAA has informed the administration that they have uncovered no further violations, and that the blame for everything was solely at Tressel's feet as he never told anyone at the university about the violations. So there will be no lack of institutional control charges. Ohio State is still going to get hit with some sanctions, but things are looking much brighter now for the Bucks now that the failure to monitor charge is out the window.
Yep forcing Sweater Vest to leave town probably saved the university from the hammer.
I agree. If Tressel was still head coach of OSU, they would be guaranteed of getting hammered. Plus, the NCAA could have forced him out themselves. I still wouldn't be surprised if Tressel gets hit with a show-cause penalty for at least a year or two.
Fuckin' bullshit. Give recruits cars and knowingly allow them to receive money from school property and get nothing at all? Total bullshit.
Imagine how fans of schools in the Big 10 feel. OSU won't skip a beat because of this.
I'm about to give up on college football.
FYI, the dealership reported that they made money on all transactions with current and former OSU players.
Because you believe that they would report that they gave stellar deals that normal buyers couldn't get? C'mon, that would be business suicide in OH.
By the way, it isn't over. Only one portion of the problem is over which is what the Dispatch was reporting on.
Pac10's Larry Scott has commented: http://twitter.com/#!/wilnerhotline
Scott said he called NCAA prez Mart Emmert after tOSU news last week, said Emmert told him "misperception in media about finality"
It better not be over. I just finished watching the ESPN 30 for 30 episode about the SMU Death Penalty scandal and it made me that much more angry about this whole thing with Ohio State. The damn athletic department knew about these infractions, and there should be SERIOUS penalties laid down against Ohio State for them. Total bullshit if there isn't.
lol....ohio state is making a serious stretch right here:
