发帖数: 764 | 1 In addition to Pryor’s past NCAA transgressions, today I confirmed that
Ohio State was recently cited by NCAA enforcment officials for dozens of
payments Pryor received in past years from a Columbus sports memorabilia
dealer that are considered outside of NCAA rules.
The NCAA violations were discovered when the name of the local memorabilia
dealer, Dennis Talbott, was seen on checks Pryor was depositing in his
personal bank account.
During Pryor’s time at Ohio State, Talbott paid him tens of thousands of
dollars to sign Ohio State Buckeye memorabilia. Talbott currently lists a
Pryor-signed item for sale on his Ebay sellers account, which is identified
by the account name “infickellwetrust.”
Talbott, who has sold hundreds of sports memorabilia items on Ebay, recently
switched to that account name from his old handle: “ntresselwetrust.”
Talbott currently lists 250 items for sale on the auction site, including
Ohio State Buckeye football memorabilia.
Talbott, who also happens to be a professional sports photographer who has
shot images appearing on SI.com and ESPN.com, often obtained media
credentials from Ohio State officials that gave him undue access to Buckeye
football players.
Midway through the 2010 football season, Talbott was ordered by Ohio State
officials to completely disassociate himself from the program. That move by
the OSU athletic administration may indicate that members of the school’s
athletic department knew of Pryor’s activities involving Talbott long
before the NCAA recently discovered the payment paper trail from Talbott to
the former Buckeye quarterback. |
