There could very well be much back door shady goings on. I think in this case though, a lot of these "perks" that the players get are given without Tressel's knowledge. I am sure he eventually finds out, but if a car company agrees to give for instance, Maurice Clarette a car to use for an autographed jersey, and Tressel doesn't hear about it until weeks later, other than a slap on the wrist or a brief suspension what can really be done about it? This city has a fever about the Buckeyes that matches Green Bay's fandom toward the Packers. It borders on fanatical worship, and when that happens, people here want to give out perks withot thinking, "hey, this might violate NCAA rules"
