An open letter to Maurice Clarett:
Dear Maurice,
Sue Ohio State, Maurice? You can't be serious.
For all the high school students who dream of going to OSU but can't
afford it, shame on you Maurice.
For all the walk-ons who would die for a chance just to wear the
colors, shame on you Maurice.
For all the student athletes who follow the rules but will never get
your headlines, shame on you Maurice.
For all the staff whose counsel you ignored, shame on you Maurice.
For all the alumni who know the value of an Ohio State diploma,
shame on you Maurice.
On second thought, since feeling ashamed requires knowing right from
wrong and having a conscience, Maurice, you deserve to learn your lesson the
hard way.
Nine months in jail, the $1,000 fine, and expulsion from Ohio State
sound about right. Even if some NFL team still wants an untested,
20-year-old ex-con, they'll probably have trouble finding a helmet big
enough.
