QUOTES During Maurice Clarett’s allegations of academic fraud, an Ohio State professor let slip reference to “faculty members that are devout fans and gave any grade they want.” (source: The Drake Group) "The purpose isn't to educate and graduate," says Drake Group associate director David Ridpath. "They're eligibility mills." "I don't think he's [Clarett's] lying. If he feels it's right to speak out, then I'm behind him 100%." -Chris Vance, former Ohio State wide receiver "He gave us furniture all the time. At least $2,000 worth of nice tables and couches." -Marco Cooper, former Ohio State linebacker, speaking about an Ohio State booster "When you'd leave, [the booster] sets you straight. They say, 'You got any money in your pocket?' They make sure your money's straight." -Maurice Clarett, former Ohio State tailback "What would have become of Ohio State if I said everything? Half the team would have been suspended, and it would have been worse for everybody. I was like, 'Why don't I just take it?'" -Maurice Clarett, former Ohio State tailback "Ohio State created me. They created what they suspended." -Maurice Clarett, former Ohio State tailback "Andy [Katzenmoyer] is not someone who was dedicated to excellence in the classroom." -Former Ohio State Athletic Director Andy Geiger "My G.P.A. was bad [0.0] because I never attended class. It wasn't bad because I did the work and failed." -Reggie Germany, former Ohio State wide receiver "I don't say that anymore. I found out four things can happen on a forward pass. The fourth is that you can get fired." -Woody Hayes, former Ohio State coach
