Akula Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 We are thinking drugs. Franklin County website isn't available right now (probably everyone looking at it for Smith's record.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 If they are going to ask for re-instatement next year, he probably took money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 On the radio they said he took money. All I can say is haha. Its insane how the players are treated. I'm not at all a sports fan so I don't give a rats ass. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils Advocate Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Fuck the NCAA, everyone does that shit. You think edwards didn't take any money just to stay his senior season? Bitch please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorback Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 That's too bad, I was really looking forward to seeing him play again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Ok, the latest speculation is this. Thursday a 2002 OSU National Championship ring sold on E-Bay for $10,000. The ring had a name on it, and the player who sold the ring is a current player. The latest rumors are that Smith was the one who sold his ring. If this is true, I would kick his stupid ass off of the team. If he doesn't have enough pride to keep his National Championship ring, he doesn't have enough pride to be a buckeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street pilot Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Thats weird, wonder why he sold his ring? At any rate, we are screwed without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00ws6 Posted December 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I doubt he had an ebay rating of over 1300.. look at some of the sellers other feedback. Unless he gave that ring to someone to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 He possibly used the guy as a broker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 But would that be against NCAA AND OSU rules to sell the ring?? That is basically given to him, right, which means it is his property. Or do they have specific rules about that?? Regardless, it is pretty shitty to go and sell something like that.

Regardless, it is pretty shitty to go and sell something like that.When the Georgia Bulldogs won the Sugar Bowl in 2002, a number of the players sold their SEC championship rings on eBay. At first they were going to be suspended, but there wasn't a precedent set at the time. They said any future cases would be considered an NCAA violation.

IF it is true, I think Troy should be permenantly kicked off of the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF that is his ring, he sold it to someone in the spring and now this eBay auction brought attention to it. For those of you who went to college, how many times while there did you wish you had $100? $1000? Now I'm not condoning selling a N.C. ring, nor would I have sold it if it were mine, BUT $10,000 for a piece of gawdy jewelry that most of us would never wear. I'd sure have thought about selling it a few dozen times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't have pride for his team, he should have his scholarship revoked. In high school one of our best players was overheard talking shit about our school by one of the coaches. You bet he sat out the whole next game, and had to work his way back up to being a starter. If Troy really did sell his NC ring, he should be booted from the team.
