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.

That's obviously very important.

Yeah I can't wait until i'm wealthy enough to buy a brand new Ford Explorer!
October 31st, 2015 at 1:12 PM ^
They ain't cheap...
October 31st, 2015 at 1:26 PM ^
Eh...
They're not expensive, either.
October 31st, 2015 at 1:32 PM ^
So what price tag requires this to be juicy enough? A fully loaded Explorer is 50K+, I'd say that's expensive enough to raise an eyebrow on this story.
October 31st, 2015 at 1:33 PM ^
Oh, for this story, sure. Any new cars that a student athlete is driving is suspicious (read: obvious). I thought you were just saying in general. A $50,000 car is kind of expensive, but not really.
October 31st, 2015 at 1:46 PM ^
Really? What in the world do you do for a living that makes you think $50k is not expensive.

If he had started all season, It would have been a Lincoln.

You aspire to a Lincoln? Are you matthew mcconaughey or 80 years old??

Outside of a nice truck, what is a step up at Ford?

That is the going price for a fairly well equiped SUV from any company.

"I thought you were just saying in general. A $50,000 car is kind of expensive, but not really."
In general, $50,000 for a vehicle is not that expensive. There are a myriad of >$50,000 options on the market. I see many $100,000 vehicles a day. There are $1,000,000 vehicles. $10,000,000 vehicles even.
I am no English professor, but I didn't read anything in his post stating anything about his purchasing power, how much he makes, whether $50,000 is a lot or a little to him personally etc. He made a factual observational statement.
October 31st, 2015 at 2:03 PM ^
average vehicle goes for about $33k, so JT's ride is 50% more expensive. seems appropriate to use that word.
October 31st, 2015 at 2:09 PM ^
He's a college student that I'm quite sure does not have the income to purchase a $50,000 vehicle.
October 31st, 2015 at 2:19 PM ^
I don't disagree with you one bit. I was merely pointing out that saying "it's not that expensive," is accurate given there are far more expensive vehicle readily available. Erego in the range of prices for cars ($0 - $10,000,000) it is pretty low on that scale. The less expensive side of that scale. It is also accurate to say it is 50% more expensive than the average vehicle, so relatively, it is on the expensive side.
October 31st, 2015 at 2:25 PM ^
so which one of you can piss the farthest?
October 31st, 2015 at 3:58 PM ^
That are priced at 10MM. BTW, when a car exceeds the medium income, it's very expensive
October 31st, 2015 at 6:55 PM ^
Thanks for validating what I said, that both statements are factually correct. It entirely depends on context.

The median household income in the world is $10,000. So relative to planet earth a $50,000 is insanely expensive. In many countries $50,000 would be enough to retire on. I've had cars 100 K + so I'm not just saying this because I don't understand it. I actually realize how lucky I am to be in a position where even any new car is feasible.

In other news.. he has money. ALSO...many leather-bound books and his apartment smells of rich mahogany (sp?lmao).

either, but there are myriad options, not a myriad of them.

Some of my friends played for Mich and lots of players drove brand new SUVs on our team. How? They get a stipend as part of their scholarship for room and board. It amounts to like $700/mo for rent, which is about median rent for a room near central campus AA. What many of them would do is live way off campus, sometimes as far as Ypsi, pay $200/mo for rent and use the difference to lease a ride. Just different priorities for some people.
It's a red flag (especially given what we know about C-bus auto dealers in the past) but not an obvious sign of guilt.
October 31st, 2015 at 3:15 PM ^
Did they lease cars that came fully equipped with dealer tags?
October 31st, 2015 at 3:47 PM ^
responding to a post that implied a new car, any new car, is "obvious" that something is awry. I'm just saying, that's not necessarily fair. $500/mo will lease you a very nice vehicle, fully equipped But yes, in this case, the dealer tags are highly suspect, especially with the history c-bus car dealers have. The dealer tags are the key here more than just a new car.

I make good money and can buy most any car I want for myself within reason. I've never gone over about 33K. 50K isn't elite money, but it is out of reach for a lot of people.
October 31st, 2015 at 3:57 PM ^
They start at 31k. Yall are talking like he's driving an Escalade

If he was buying it with 0 down, 6% sales tax, at 3% interest(which would take a 800 credit score), on a 72 month loan his payment would be $805 a month.

I think Drinking and Driving is a huge mistake in general, and you can easily destroy lifes. I see a ton on Twitter giving some major crap, but I'm thankful he didn't wreck his or someone else's lives.
HOWEVER, the new Ford Explorer opens some questions that the NCAA will never look into.

GameDay just said he was "cited, not arrested, for driving while intoxicated"
Is that an ohio thing? Only for osu athletes? Is this like the old days when they lectured you but let you go with a stern warning?
Out here in CA they don't have "cited but not arrested"... does Michigan?
