发帖数: 764 | 1 Former Ohio State wide receiver Ray Small is calling an audible.
Small, who told the school's student newspaper that he sold Big Ten
championship rings and other memorabilia for cash and got special car deals
during his playing days, backpedaled Friday, saying his words were twisted.
"I've come back to retract my words, because there's two sides to every
story, and I want to tell the world my side of the story," Small said in an
interview Friday with ESPN's Tom Farrey.
Small admitted that he sold "just a couple of my rings," which is a
violation of NCAA rules, but said he never said the words "we were all doing
it."
"I never heard another player say he sold his ring," Small said.
Ohio State's student newspaper, The Lantern, issued a statement in reponse
to Small's allegations.
"We, 100 percent, stand by our story," Lantern editor-in-chief Zach Meisel
said. "Everything (Small) said was recorded."
Small said The Lantern reporter asked him about deals players received on
cars, and that his answer referred to the deal he felt he got.
"Everybody just knew it was quicker to get a car from Jack Max (Jack Maxton
Chevrolet), so you know, when you go to Jack Max, you could pick who you
want to get a car from," Small said. "Who said that they was giving deals,
if so, I didn't get a deal. I wish I did."
The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles is investigating at least 50 transactions
to try to determine whether athletes and their relatives received discounts
not available to the public, which would be a violation of NCAA rules. Ohio
State, which has suspended its investigation until the BMV investigation is
complete, has said it has no reason to believe any violations occurred.
Small said he knew selling his rings was an NCAA violation but said he did
it to make his rent and pay his car note.
"It was either break the rule or get evicted," he said. "That was the best
thing I could do. I mean, you don't want me go doing anything illegal, which
I don't do, you know what I mean? So it was the smartest plan I could come
up with."
He said he doesn't remember how much he received and that he "gave them to
my people, game them to my cousin or something, told him bring me back the
money." He said it was between $800 and $1,000 per ring.
Several Ohio State players have taken to Twitter to speak out against Small.
"Show me a coward and I will show you Ray Small," center Mike Brewster
tweeted. "He isn't part of the sacred brotherhood anymore. Never on time,
never accountable, never sacrificed for the team. Can you trust his word?"
Ohio State coach Jim Tressel and five of his players, including quarterback
Terrelle Pryor, have been suspended for the first five games of the 2011
season because the players sold memorabilia to a tattoo-parlor owner for
tattoos and cash. Tressel learned of the memorabilia sales in April 2010 but
did not alert Ohio State officials. The school and the NCAA are still
investigating.
The tattoo-parlor owner, Ed Rife, was indicted in Columbus on Friday on
charges of drug trafficking and money laundering.
Small, who played from 2006 through 2009, said he does not know Rife and
that he does not plan to talk to investigators unless he has to.
