发帖数: 764 | 1 An investigation by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles of two Columbus-area
automobile dealerships found that no state laws were broken in the recording
or pricing of some of the used car deals given to Ohio State football
players and family members.
Looking at one aspect of players' access to local cars, the BMV examined 25
purchases between 2006 and 2010 at Jack Maxton Chevrolet and Auto Direct,
dealerships where salesman Aaron Kniffin had worked. Kniffin has said he
sold about 50 cars to athletes and their relatives.

In May, the Columbus Dispatch raised questions about whether athletes had
received special discounts on cars, based on their status as athletes. The
BMV did not address whether any NCAA rules were broken -- that is outside
the department's purview -- but in its summary report said that only one of
the used cars was sold at a loss.
"The only vehicle on which Jack Maxton lost money was a car that had been in
inventory for more than 150 days," the report states. "In such cases, the
dealership provides incentives to its sales force to sell the vehicles, even
at a loss."
In one of the attached exhibits, a BMV investigator notes that the average
markup on the cars at the Maxton dealer was $1,211 and that "six vehicles
sold at a negative profit."
However, that statement was not correct, BMV spokeswoman Lindsey Bohrer said
after the release of the report.
Asked by ESPN if the BMV could provide an unredacted version of the Maxton
document, listing the dealer cost of and profit on each car sold to an Ohio
State athlete or family member, Bohrer declined, citing state privacy law.
Later Tuesday, Ohio State said it is dropping its own review of the
purchases by players and family members.
The investigation's report provides some relief for Ohio State, which is in
the midst of an NCAA investigation into former quarterback Terrelle Pryor
and other players receiving extra benefits. The report noted that it could
not confirm that the deals players received were tied to the providing of
sports memorabilia or tickets.
"We found no evidence in the dealers' business records that tickets and/or
sports memorabilia were included in the sales, and the dealers and their
legal counsel contend that the allegations are false," the report stated.
Ohio State documents show that Kniffin received free game tickets in 2008
from an unidentified player. But he denies that he ever gave a player a
special discount on a car because of any benefits provided.
"The deals that I did for Ohio State student-athletes were no different than
any of the other 10,000-plus deals that I've done for all my other
customers," Kniffin said in the May 10 affidavit.
The BMV investigation did not address the use of loaner cars by athletes.
Pryor was provided the use of loaners by Kniffin at least three times,
keeping them for days or weeks at a time. Kniffin said he let Pryor use one
car, a Dodge Charger, for three weeks in early 2010 because his car was in
the shop. He allegedly considered buying the others but never did.
"Today's report from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles supports the sworn
statements two Columbus auto dealers provided us that the manner in which
they conducted sales with Ohio State student athletes and their families
adhered to university and NCAA rules," Ohio State associate athletic
director for compliance Doug Archie said in a statement. | b**j

另加FB门票么，呵呵。关键是NCAA手头上有什么证据。不过威风说得对，总比统统sold
at loss好。 | g*********d
发帖数: 8125 | 10 我估计哈，小猫匿肯定少不了。比如finance拉，降价拉。反正good condition和fair
condition还不是dealer一张嘴。
不然TP他妈疯了，跑到ohio去买车？
还有TP这家伙大学开了4辆车还是5辆车。不知道是不是都是买的哈。
