As I’m sure many of you have already heard, there was an article in the NY Times about Maurice Clarett getting special attention because he was an athlete. I don’t think there’s a college with an elite sports program that doesn’t have issues like this. There is also some discussion about Clarett and some possible NCAA rule infraction dealing with something going on with him and LeBron. The link is to the article but you have to register with the NYTimes to read it. (it’s free, they just ask for an email address).
Ohio State to Examine Special Help for Clarett: “Geiger told the newspaper that he did not think the N.C.A.A.’s investigation would lead to Clarett’s losing part of his eligibility for the upcoming season, but added: ‘That doesn’t mean it won’t change. As of now, he’s fine.’ “
Related to this story is that supposedly the teaching assistant who went to the Times is in trouble for not going through the proper channels at the university. It has also been stated the she’s been in an out of mental institutions in the past, for whatever that’s worth.
In the end, I think this will blow over and not leave a scratch on the Buckeye’s rep.
