OSU Denying Additional Pryor Violations

Apparently Ohio State is now saying that Pryor never told them about any of the additional stuff dealing with Sarniak.

Interestingly raises a couple questions:

Would Pryor lie about that to make a stronger case to get into the supplemental draft?

OR

Is OSU still using the same playbook and denying any wrongdoing here, seeing that it may be working?

I think number 2 is the case even though number one is possible (remember how OSU treated Clarett after he was investigated!).
