Mo Clarett comes out and nails what the investigation is about
I think MC nails what this whole thing is about. The money machine is upset about Jim’s comments about revenue sharing. Good to see a Buckeye come out in support!

OP says he's come out, so you're in luck!
November 2nd, 2023 at 5:07 PM ^
I believe a few other coaches (Ferentz and maybe Allen) may have spoke in favor of sharing revenue with players, so that might not be the ncaa's issue (besides, they've been anti-Harbaugh since at least the satellite camps).
November 2nd, 2023 at 5:08 PM ^
One week ago, everybody here was like, "Booooo, you stink."
This week, everybody here wants to make him an honorary captain for The Game.
Strange bedfellows, indeed.

He clarified that "Ponzi scheme" tweet of his later that same day, and people in that same thread here (including me) were praising him for it.
And even before that, we didn't say "boo." We said "lol" because it seemed like a self-own until he clarified it.

I did not have Maurice Clarett defending Michigan on my bingo card.
November 2nd, 2023 at 5:20 PM ^
The Matrix is after us. Plain and simple
November 2nd, 2023 at 5:36 PM ^
He is not wrong.
November 2nd, 2023 at 5:44 PM ^
This was my initial thought until it became known that an investigative firm was behind this. Unless the investigative firm was hired by someone associated with the NCAA then this has nothing to do with Harbaughs revenue sharing comments. Although, they might punish Harbaugh harder due to those comments.

Why is everybody surprised at Mo saying this? This is the same guy that was Tressel's first domino, when he and a few other players said they were illegally paid. Shortly after, he tried to go pro "too early", then tOSU promptly destroyed him.
He obviously had his own personal issues as well, but this is a tried and true playbook. OSU knew the kid was wild as shit when he was putting them on his back the year they won it (2002?), but they didn't give a shit until he spoke out against the "powers that be."
Glad he got his life back on track.
November 2nd, 2023 at 6:03 PM ^
Brian is not behind in much. But he is behind in understanding Clarett and his statements about this matter.
November 2nd, 2023 at 6:04 PM ^
Devin Gardner had this take on WTKA early on. Maybe Maurice listens to The Ticket?
November 2nd, 2023 at 6:05 PM ^
Right on Mo tell the truth
November 2nd, 2023 at 6:12 PM ^
I agree the NCAA hates Jim because he wants the players to be fairly compensated
I again refer to the scene in Moneyball where the Red Sox owner explains how dinosaurs react to the new thinkers.
November 2nd, 2023 at 6:57 PM ^
I remember you posted a link to this after I posted about the NCAA coming after Harbaugh a few weeks ago.
Very apropos.
November 2nd, 2023 at 6:17 PM ^
Wow. It sounds really strange, but I agree with Maurice Clarett and appreciate his input.
November 2nd, 2023 at 6:31 PM ^
The people we don't like are the ones defending us . . .
Strange times.
November 2nd, 2023 at 6:33 PM ^
For all the people saying they're surprised a Buckeye is saying this, based upon what happened 20 years ago, I'm not sure Clarrett has a ton of loyalty to OSU.
November 2nd, 2023 at 6:38 PM ^
Watch the 30 for 30 Youngstown Boys. First, it’s just a great film. Second, it is very interesting and informative about OSU football in that era and the Clarett dynamic.
November 2nd, 2023 at 6:36 PM ^
His performance against Michigan in 2003 was legendary. He literally played 15-20 plays maximum and was the best and most impactful player on the field by a wide margin.
November 2nd, 2023 at 6:40 PM ^
I appreciate the gist of your comment, but Clarett only played against Michigan in 2002 not 2003.
November 2nd, 2023 at 7:12 PM ^
I stand corrected. Thx. Yeah, the 2002 game at the Tolietbowl. Kid was as a force.
November 2nd, 2023 at 7:01 PM ^
Very good take. Making ncaa look foolish. Slow clap to Mo
November 2nd, 2023 at 7:03 PM ^
I've been reading several of his tweets throughout this whole ordeal.
He's made some excellent points
November 2nd, 2023 at 7:26 PM ^
Bravo Maurice Clarett.
I'll never get the image out of my head of that lumbering look of #13 sauntering out onto the field and thinking "he's too chunky, can't move well enough to give our guys problems"
These statements are about as unexpected from him as I found his ability to churn out yards in the early 2000's.
November 2nd, 2023 at 8:10 PM ^
His most impressive skill is was to see holes where they did not seem to exist. He was a really big kid but seemingly could become almost snake like.
November 2nd, 2023 at 8:24 PM ^
I personally think it's about:
1.) The 2nd & 3rd place teams (osu & bama) don't want to see Michigan win 1,000 first. If the ncaa vacates 30+ Michigan wins, then either may be able to claim that one of those 2 may be the first to 1,000 wins. When Michigan is the 1st to win 1.000 games, they can spin the narrative that Michigan "cheated" their way to wins. osu & bama have already had wins vacated.
2.) The ncaa doesn't want to see Harbaugh as the coach of winning # 1,000, which will be etched in stone, b/c of the things he has done since becoming Michigan's coach. (European/USA tours, satellite camps, Signing of the Stars, sharing revenues with players, etc...) When he is the coach of winning #1,000 then his name will be written in history. It's amazing that all of this is coming out 5 - 6 games before win #1,000 and it could have been "reported" early in this season or last season.
3.) Hamburger Gate!!! which every team probably does too.
4.) Stealing Signs Gate; which every team does.
I think that the recent Big 10 "AD Conference Call" is being started/pushed/supported by 1 - 3 universities, (osu, psu, & rutgers) with sparty supporting them. day hates Harbaugh b/c he's been embarrassed for 2 years, going on 3. schiano is a buckeye lackey. LAME BRAIN JAMES can't win most big games. sparty is sparty and they wannabe a wannabe, which is better than what they are now. (ha ha sparty)
As for Mo Clarrett saying it's about someone going after the establishment, think of a former president with the same issues.
JMO!!!
