The report did not examine whether the prices that OSU players paid involved discounts not available to the general public, which could constitute an improper benefit under NCAA regulations.

Still, some may wonder why the university isn't taking another look at the cars on its own. That could really clear the air. But Larry James, Pryor's former attorney, took time Tuesday to reinforce that all the cars the former OSU quarterback drove were properly accounted for. And you'd think that if Ohio State isn't looking harder, the OSU administration must have some idea the NCAA is satisfied. So this potentially damning part of the puzzle could be finished.

And then after they investigate, and don't find anything, they should make something up and punish themselves. The punishments should include, but not be limited to:

1) Demolition of the Woody Hayes Athletic Center
2) Demolition of the 'shoe
3) Self-vacating all wins prior to 2011
4) Admission that, had the Tat 5 not received improper benefits by selling their own personal property, Ohio State would've gone 0-12 in both 2009 and 2010

Even then, the haters will still hate.

You are trying too hard to hate at the "haters".

Give me a fucking break...if there were ANY chance of not investigating further could hurt OSU, do you REALLY think these very smart, successful people in the Athletic Department would take a chance? NO

Just stop

Just because the title and dealer records doesn't mean they didn't get a deal. There are ways for them to discount a car without the sale price of the car changing. In fact, if this really was going on, I would hope they'd be smart enough to do it with a legit paper trail.

Which makes me think the car stuff is done and over with. I really, really, highly doubt OSU compliance is saying, "Hey, if we don't do an investigation, maybe the NCAA won't do one either, and they'll just forget about it!"

I was doing my best sleeper impersonation with the word "haters".

I realize you're a pretty good poster...I have acknowledged that before...but that comment was dumb, it's not like OSU is stupid, they know what to do; and they'll do whatever it takes to "soften the blow" it's not like Gene Smith is gonna read your comment and be like "holy shit, this guy is right..we should probably conduct our own investigation!" they know what they're doing.
