Kathleen Salyers Interview: CNNSI.com

The Whistleblower comes out, and this story gets more and more out of hand each time. Models? Expensive suits? Agents in the locker room? It sounds pretty incredulous, let's hope it's not true.

What kind of moron would spend $100,000 on some kid without ever getting paid a dime? This woman is nuts, one way or another.

Most of the stuff in this "new" story were already in other stories. I saw the agents in the locker room allegation last week.

I think my wife and I pull in a little more than the average part-time house keeper and we would have trouble providing over $100,000 in support to an OSU athlete. Where did this woman get the money to pull this off?

And how is it that a part-time house keeper arranges to have grades changed? Is their some special relatinoship house keepers have with professors that I failed to exploit when I was in school? For that matter, I am a part time professor myself. Am I obligated make grade changes at the request of full time house keepers?

Not trying to blow this off - it is very troubling. But I bit on McGill's stories initially as well. On its face this is suspect.

[redskinbucksfan]

These echo my sentiments as well. I posted it because it was her "going public", rather than depositions, mystery sources, etc. that I found compelling.

Not trying to blow this off - it is very troubling. But I bit on McGill's stories initially as well. On its face this is suspect.

I thought the same thing when I first read about this in the Dispatch. I'm not saying what she says is not true but my initial thoughts were another Norma McGill.

The woman whose lawsuit led to the firing of basketball coach Jim O'Brien received threatening phone calls and had her tires slashed, her lawyer said Tuesday.

Somebody likes drama. I like the part in the SI interview about "I never wanted it to be like this"

[DesertBuckeye]

The CNNSI story referred to a practice of writing checks for an amount greater than was needed for a purchase and then giving the extra money to Boban. The CNNSI story had confirmation of this from 2 employees of the gas station where this Salyers lady did this. Although some portions of this story don't make sense, there is already corroboration for at least some of her story. It doesn't appear that there is any way to totally discount this woman's allegations.

I fear where this could lead...even though portions of her story do sound a little far fetched.

[Oh8ch]

Again, not saying this isn't true - but as I understand it there is corroboration that whe wrote checks for more than the amount needed - not what she did with the money. Writing checks in that fashion is not an uncommon practice.
