But it's all pretty interesting and relevant to what we care about -- namely The Ohio State University. No, I'm not a gambler. I will place the occasional bet for entertainment purposes only. But I've learned that in the long run, it's better to stay away from this practice. Also, if I was gambling on the games, I couldn't enjoy the variety of contacts that I have with the agent community and the coaches of the various college and pro staffs across the country that I now enjoy.
My business is primarily an information exchange of data on sports -- all aspects of sports -- from recruiting, coaching changes, tactics, marketing, television, radio, etc. And my passion is The Ohio State University. I have replica stadiums dotting my office, pictures on the walls and hardly a day goes by that I'm not wearing a piece of Ohio State clothing or memorabilia.
I am a certified OSU freak. Game days at my household when I'm not back for my three or four trips to games in Columbus follow the same routine. I am up early, kids I have four dressed in OSU garb, and then settling in for three to four hours of pleasure. I will generally be working the phones or e-mails all day as people call to trade tidbits of info -- and this goes on into the night.
My wife is a saint who has come to understand my passion for OSU and she has come to be a die hard Bucknut as well even though Missouri Tiger flows through her veins. In closing, I will be lurking around the boards on a more consistent basis now. So feel free to fire questions at me. I will do my best to respond promptly. Or, EZInbox me if there is something you want to talk about offline. From the start, the sites made waves by recruiting an impressive staff of Ohio State media members from competing sites.
It got to the point where a lot of fans openly wondered where the money was coming from, and even if the site would be viable long term as the staff size from the start was perhaps larger than any other Ohio State outlet. A little over a year later, things seem to have gone spectacularly off the rails as two of the more prominent personalities have been fired from the site and subsequently named in a lawsuit alleging a myriad of troubling allegations.
It is believed that because of his stature in the business world, Stickney has preferred to keep his real identity separate from his message board persona. So what went wrong here? Some highlights from the legal filing :. Upon information and belief, Barton bartered a sponsorship deal with Ricart Automotive in exchange for favorable terms on the purchase of his personal vehicle. Barton also obtained employment with Ricart Automotive. Scoop sold merchandise to subscribers through a third-party website.
Upon information and belief, Barton kept the revenue for himself. RickRicart August 28, The filing goes on to explain that Stickney and Barton tried to change the billing cycle to 28 days instead of monthly, among other various claims.
The following blurb appears on a few Ohio State websites , with many Ohio State media members not exactly being coy on what they know about the rumor. To put in simple terms: the allegations, as I understand them, are that Kirk and Nevada directly paid a player to act as an insider for them. The player was injured at the time and Ohio State became suspicious as to why the injured player was watching practice film for every position group on the team, including phases of the ball he was not involved in.

I don't know how he does it, but I'd believe what he says. Moose , Mar 11, NevadaBuck's identity, if he ever chose to divulge it to the board, would immediately end all speculation. Trust me, he is legit.
