The principal reason for all the hubbub in Columbus regarding the NCAA and potential violations all stems from the allegations made by former running back and NFL combine sloth Maurice Clarett. Clarett alleged improper exchanges of money and gifts from boosters, serious violations with serious punishments for an athletic program. One of the main reasons OSU avoided those penalties? Drumroll please...the NCAA never talked with Clarett himself. Why? Maurice apparently is just horrible with the voicemail thing, and didn't return the NCAA's phone calls.
Clarett: not just slow on the field.
