Huge Buckeye fan here! At the time of incident, I was devastated, because I had been waiting all of my life for a NC then this happened and he was suspended.
Watching the episode. For the car incident, was MC totally forthright in the 30/30 series. I ask because I think Tressel knew he lost control of the kid. I wonder if he was truly a stay a home football player. Plus, we all know that Tressel was shady...by the way, I am fine with that because countless other coaches are doing the same thing {pick a coach}. Tressel is only a football coach.
There are still many questions and I could point the finger at many people. Personally, I blame MC, he was a man acting like a child. MC had a full ride to "The Ohio State" and side benefits if he would have learned to keep quiet...yes, College Football is corrupt. Countless athletes learned the system so why did MC lose it.

He was a 5 year old in a 20 year old body. Living close to Columbus he was known as a cry baby and one who was a trouble maker.
So once he got canned off the team was it Tressels fault he continued to be a scam artist and blew what could have been a decent career in the NFL?
Sometimes you have to stop blaming others for your mistakes and Clarett never grew up even at 30 when he got himself into more issues.
You ohio State guys are tough LOL!
Tressel should of went to this kid,before the Ncaa got a hold of him and set him straight.
But I wll admit MC going to jim Brown did help the situation either.

Anyone catch the The Soccer stories spin off about Hillsborough? I didn't even know about this until I saw the program. What an awful series of events. I think I felt every emotion as I was watched this.

I always wondered about the 'Cover Up' and lack of justice I heard mentioned and this explained it. To have 96 deaths in a Non-Violent sporting event is shocking. To find out the coroner was instructed to check the blood alcohol level of all the dead victims is dumbfounding. Total lack of authoritative control and these instances still occur today.
The Liverpool community is one of a kind.
