An audit of Ohio State University's compliance department in November found
that it was not doing enough to monitor the use of cars, uniforms and
equipment by athletes.
A month later, OSU suspended six football players for violating NCAA rules
by trading or selling memorabilia for tattoos. And in March, coach Jim
Tressel admitted to a serious NCAA violation of his own by not reporting
that he knew about the player violations. He resigned on Monday.
Now, OSU President E. Gordon Gee says university officials are "taking a
look at our failures" in the compliance department. Gee said he wants Ohio
State to set the standard for how a compliance department should operate.
"We have an opportunity through this process not to hunker down, not to get
into a bunker, but to set very high standards. And that's precisely what we'
re doing," Gee said Wednesday. "We'll take a look at if we have the best
compliance system in the country. That will be our goal."
Once heralded as the gold standard in big-time college athletics, OSU's
compliance department now is under scrutiny like never before.
The OSU auditors wrote in November that the department needed to pay more
attention to athletes' cars, particularly those driven by football players,
and needed more control over the inventory of uniforms and equipment.
Both deficiencies now have come back to haunt Ohio State officials.
Athletic director Gene Smith said in an emailed statement yesterday that,
"At Ohio State, we actively examine our compliance program on an ongoing
basis. That includes evaluating our monitoring systems to ensure they are
the best they can be."
Compliance director Doug Archie has defended his department frequently in
recent interviews with The Dispatch.
"As with any monitoring system, we are continually refining and improving
our program. We set the bar high and then look for ways to raise it even
higher," Archie has said. "When we benchmark ourselves, we do more than most
."
OSU's compliance department is expanding to eight full-time positions from
six to monitor OSU's 1,100 athletes. Archie said he requested the two new
positions before Christmas to keep pace with other major athletic
departments. They have not yet been filled.
Internal auditors wrote in April that increased scrutiny of equipment and
the department's plans for a beefed-up car-registration database, more
frequent cross-checks of other campus car-registration databases and
increased NCAA-rules education for football and men's basketball players
would meet their standards.
Problems within the football program surfaced in December, when the U.S.
Department of Justice notified OSU that it had recovered autographed jerseys
, pants, cleats, gloves, helmets and game footballs, among other things,
during a raid of a suspected drug dealer and tattoo-parlor owner. The six
football players later admitted that they broke NCAA rules.
NCAA rules prohibit athletes from keeping their uniforms until their college
careers are completed, according to the audit report. However, they can
purchase equipment at the fair-market value under certain circumstances. It'
s unknown whether any of the equipment seized during the raid had been
purchased by the football players.
In May, The Dispatch found that:
• At least eight athletes and 11 relatives of athletes had purchased
vehicles from the same salesman in the past five years. The salesman then
confirmed to The Dispatch that he had sold nearly 50 vehicles to OSU
athletes or their family members in recent years. OSU compliance officials
said they would investigate and later said they would wait for investigators
from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles to finish examining the role of the
dealers in the sales.
• At least nine players had been issued traffic citations in Franklin
County while driving vehicles with dealer license plates. OSU compliance
officials said the majority of those players purchased used cars and were
given a dealer license plate while waiting for the new registrations. Archie
said "you would have to ask the dealers" as to why the players' cars had
hard license plates as opposed to the cardboard temporary tags that
typically are issued.
• The NCAA is investigating quarterback Terrelle Pryor's ties to at
least six different cars.
Archie has defended the way his department monitors athletes' cars even
though officials don't check for traffic tickets off campus, don't follow up
on campus car-registration forms that are often incomplete or inaccurate,
and only spot-check car values.
He also said there is no extra scrutiny of star athletes who may be targets
of rogue boosters or fans. "We treat all of our student athletes the same,"
he has said.
In 2005, former OSU president Karen Holbrook tapped then-outgoing athletic
director Andy Geiger to overhaul the compliance department after problems
with boosters and academic tutors. As a result, the compliance director was
reassigned to other duties and Doug Archie was hired to take over in 2006.
Archie has been praised by his supervisor for running a tight ship. He
received the highest rating - exceeds expectations - during his most recent
performance review.
"Compliance in central Ohio is a bear, but Doug has done a very good job
managing the beast," senior associate athletic director Miechelle Willis
wrote last July.
In a 2009 job evaluation, Willis wrote that Archie knows "what it takes to
keep our program out of jail."
Under Archie's watch, Ohio State has reported more NCAA violations than any
other Division I school, in part because OSU has more athletes and sports
than any other school, but also because of Archie's mandate that even the
most minor misdeed will be reported.
"We have high ethics here, and we want the coaches to think of self-
reporting as good and healthy," Archie told The Dispatch in 2009.
The NCAA requires schools to audit their compliance departments every four
years. Ohio State, however, has done an audit annually since at least 2005,
each year looking at different compliance areas.
In 2006, the auditors' review of athletes' car registration forms found that
they were incomplete and sometimes inconsistent with the car registry
maintained by University Transportation and Parking. Compliance officials
vowed to correct the problem.
But last year, the auditors reviewed car registrations of 152 athletes and
observed vehicles driven by football players to spring practice. Auditors
found that 44 athletes bought parking permits for, received parking tickets
in, or were seen driving cars that weren't registered.
Records obtained in May show that football players continue to submit
incomplete forms, lacking sales prices, dates of purchases, co-signers and
other required information.

"An audit of Ohio State University's compliance department in November found

Does this constitute "lack of institutional control"?

we audit once a year, other schools audit once every 4 years.
does ncaa want to tell osu to stop auditing so often to
find potential problems? doesn't that fact than a self-prescribed audit find
ing problems mean that there's at least a strong desire to institute "
insitutional control"?
