Sure they were, coaches were giving them valuable things that they were allowing them to sell under the table for cash.
Except that isn't true, and we all know that. You're running out of steam.

right, the NCAA took away your wins and Tressel was fired for nothing.
So your argument is that, if michigan had given it's players jewelry, it would've turned the 30 point blowout loss into a win for michigan?

So, you're saying michigan football players can only be motivated to beat Ohio State if they are offered jewelry by the university?
I'm saying that Ohio State might not have had certain players if it weren't widely known that they could receive impermissible benefits. Players that very well could have found themselves playing at the better university.

I figured we'd get to this point. So you have evidence that Ohio State told players to come to Ohio State so they could sell legal memorabilia and that's the only reason they came there?

Really reaching now.

Serious question, breaking character now.

Do you believe that Pryor was truly just driving around in rental cars because his was in the shop?

I honestly have no idea. You'd think if he was given them illegally the NCAA could've easily found that out considering the depth of their investigation, no?

So again, do you have proof that OSU told recruits they would allow them to sell legal memorabilia if they came to Ohio State?

This thread is getting into too much of a Michigan vs. ohio state thread. Both are "Blue Bloods" in the college football realm. ohio state has been kicking our ass lately (that's just a fact), and we should not be bragging.

:lol: We are potentially going to sign a top 10 class this year coming off a 5-7 season. STFU if you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Congratulations, you're now a Cornbelt South Carolina

I don't think so, the NCAA has no legal power to subpoena private entities. All the information that was handed over was voluntary stuff.

No, but spooning with our crystal balls is pretty pleasant.

So let me get this straight: you're actually defending your program in comparison to the Gamecocks?

You've already lost...

Proof, no. But it's one of those reasonable judgment things. Places that work on your car may or may not have a rental car to give you -- and if they do, it's unlikely to be a sport car. Have you ever taken your sedan in for work to be done and gotten a sports car in return for months at a time?
