Opposite of Shakespeare

Here are your updates from Thursday-

Legally Speaking*

• In case you missed the updates from Eric’s piece earlier, Terrelle Pryor’s license issue is now resolved, and he and his mom are alleged to have met with the folks from the NCAA this afternoon. Pryor’s lawyers presented documentation this morning regarding his automotive purchases (again, thanks to tBBC crack investigative reporter Westy), and this afternoon reported that he did not think the NCAA will punish the QB for the car situation.
• Storm Klein’s dad has come out guns blazin’, and has said that his family plans on pursuing legal action against George Dohrmann and Sports Illustrated.
• There are some indications that the family of Buckeye John Simon plan on doing the same; and several sources have told us that this response may not be limited to just these two student athletes.

Responses from Youngstown

• Ray Isaacs’ comments regarding the Sports Illustrated article have been well documented; He takes full responsibility for his actions, and implies that the SI writers are less than accurate regarding his time at YSU.
• You can also add former YSU president Leslie Cochran to those who believe SI has a problem with “misremembering”; today he called at least one quote in his account a “fabrication”.
• Several other former Penguins have also commented on behalf of their former coach.

Unfortunately, the “here’s today’s updates” is going to become a regular feature here at tBBC. It is what it is.  That being said, we’re looking for a picture/logo or even a new title to help distinguish this from the “normal” SBP updates- leave your recommendations in the comments!

NCAA InVESTigation

• According to several sources, folks from the University and the NCAA team met individually with the players named in the SI report today.
• Additionally, according to 97.1, the NCAA will also meet with Dohrmann’s source, “Ellis”. Speculation abounds as to the important aspect of their conversation.

Other Buckeye News

• Terrelle Pryor’s driver’s license? Still suspended. UPDATE- Not anymore. The car he was driving? Being paid for by mom. ABC6? Still not classy.
• In this economy, you could do worse- OSU Compliance Office is hiring!
• But it’s not for the job you’d think… Smith gets the kiss of death a vote of confidence from E. Gordon Gee.
