NCAA discovers checks to Ohio State's Pryor
June 8, 2011 10:17 AM
In addition to Pryor's past NCAA transgressions, today I confirmed that Ohio State was recently cited by NCAA enforcement officials for dozens of payments Pryor received in past years from a Columbus sports memorabilia dealer that are considered outside of NCAA rules.
The NCAA violations were discovered when the name of the local memorabilia dealer, Dennis Talbott, was seen on checks Pryor was depositing in his personal bank account.
During Pryor's time at Ohio State, Talbott paid him tens of thousands of dollars to sign Ohio State Buckeye memorabilia. Talbott currently lists a Pryor-signed item for sale on his Ebay sellers account, which is identified by the account name "infickelwetrust."
