Ohio State in clear over car purchases
Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles says its investigation of Ohio State football players' car purchases found no evidence players received improper deals.
The agency undertook its review following allegations that two Columbus-area dealers sold vehicles to Ohio State athletes and family members at below market rates.
The BMV's 65-page report issued Tuesday said the certificates of titles for cars sold by Jack Maxton Chevrolet and Auto Direct to players and families accurately reflected the vehicles' sales prices.
Questions about players' car purchases arose in the wake of a scandal in which some players received cash and tattoos for autographs, championship rings and equipment.

I'm surprised they even printed a retraction.
Funny, when this story first came out we had three columns dedicated to how bad this was and what it all meant.
Now, when the FACTS come out...a four paragraph retraction.
Nope, they are most definitely not looking to fan flames.
