"After a USAir flight crashed on its way from Columbia to Charlotte, N.C., Jones tracked down a child whose father had died onboard and convinced the boy's mother to let Summit manage his settlement. From March 1997 to March 1998, Brown and Jones siphoned more than $90,000 from that account. They also got hundreds of thousands in loans from a local accountant, a lawyer in their building, a former president of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce, even a 75-year-old benefactor of a local black college. Brown and Jones reinvested some of that cash into keeping athletes happy, like spending nearly $14,000 on clothes and shoes for Charles Woodson, who would become their first major non-South Carolina client, while he was a junior at Michigan."
So uh... Tell me how your namesake taking $14,000 from scouts (some of that money which came from a fund meant to provide restitution to the family of a plane crash victim) is more innocent than Troy Smith taking a couple hundred from a booster or Terrelle Pryor selling his own personal property. Go ahead. I'll wait...

Just because you read something on the interwebs does not make it true. AFAIK the NCAA never even alleged let alone found evidence od any Michigan player accepting extra benefits. Certainly not the great Charles Woodson. The same cannot he said for Clarett, Smith or Pryor. All three were sanctioned and suspended. Two of the three never played another down in college once their activities came to light. Clarett has repeatedly admitted to taking extra benefits. If you have hard proof on Woodson, please link it. A statement on an internet blog is not hard proof. It is just bitterness by Buckeye fans over the realization that OSU needed to cheat to get back on an equal footing with Michigan after the Cooper era. And bitterness over having been caught. No more and no less.

Read Gordo's link. It discusses how federal agents investigated those agents and found that Woodson took benefits before leaving college. Your boy is as big a cheater as they come. Keep on hating though. I'll continue to celebrate the fact that Ohio State has won 10 of the last 12 against your mediocre team.

Congratulations. Cheating works. I never said it didn't. You were 2-10-1 against us before the Vest showed up, you know, the guy in charge of all the cheating. Jim Tressel is living proof that cheating definitely works.
Congratulations. You dominated a guy from Tennessee who had no clue what the biggest rivarly in sports was before we hired a class act whose only confirmed black mark came from being concerned about reporting his players in the midst of a major federal investigation on a shady character. Regardless, you're absolutely right that he started the trend which led to 10 of the last 12 and 26-21.
