JT Barrett was driving a brand new Ford Explorer with dealership tags

So says a OSU poster on the Ozone board. Can't wait to hear Gene Smith tell us this is just another "isolated incident."

I wish we could just ship those cheating cooler poopers off to the $EC where they belong.

Sorry, but random posts from anonymoyus users on other message boards are not worthy of thread starts.

Was going to make a joke about how the part that has Urban Meyer the most upset is that he was driving a car made in Michigan. Then I fact checked and learned the Explorer is assembled in Illinois.

His dad is military or ex-military, seems like a level headed guy and doesn't have to pay for JT's school. It's entirely possible JT bought the car with his dad's help. Can we maybe not go straight to "college athlete has nice things?, Must be cheating!!" It's kinda assholish on our parts.

Yes, in Michigan you have to have a tag before leaving the lot. I am not sure about the law in Ohio. When I lived in Oklahoma, I had a temporary tag before I went to the dept. of revenue and paid an arm and a leg for the privilege of a license plate. Was thinking it may have been a similar situation.

Still see nothing wrong with going benefit of the doubt here.

I have almost never seen a fairly young military retiree without a job in retirement, if you do it right you can manage to be fairly comfortable and be able to do something like this, especially if the understanding that the player will pay you back later on.

He would have temp tags. I work for a manufacturer. My plates say "MFGR", a dealer plate says "DLR".  Temp tags are for 30 days and that is what he would have had. If he had a loaner while his car was being worked on then he could have dealer plates, but that would be unusual, but not unheard of.

Somebody needs to find out when his car went in for service.
