Audit of compliance department warned Ohio State of need to raise its guard
June 3, 2011 8:36 AM
Once heralded as the gold standard in big-time college athletics, OSU's compliance department now is under scrutiny like never before.
The OSU auditors wrote in November that the department needed to pay more attention to athletes' cars, particularly those driven by football players, and needed more control over the inventory of uniforms and equipment.
Both deficiencies now have come back to haunt Ohio State officials.
Athletic director Gene Smith said in an emailed statement today that "(at) Ohio State, we actively examine our compliance program on an ongoing basis. That includes evaluating our monitoring systems to ensure they are the best they can be."
