The Ohio State University is already drowning and ESPN is planning on tying a cement block to it’s ankle. According to reports from The Associated Press, ESPN has sued Ohio State University.
The four-letter network is alleging the school violated state public records law when it denied requests for items related to an NCAA investigation.
The lawsuit was filed Monday in the Ohio Supreme Court. It asks justices to order the university to release the records and pay attorney fees and court costs, according to The Associated Press. ESPN was attempting to track down references to Ted Sarniak.
Sarniak is reportedly a mentor of Pryor in his hometown Jeannette, Pa.
According to the AP:
Tressel forwarded emails to Sarniak regarding accusations that players had sold game memorabilia in violation of NCAA rules. Among its arguments, ESPN says the university cited an inapplicable federal student-records privacy law in denying records. Ohio State spokesman Jim Lynch says the university believes it has followed applicable law. He says ESPN has received a “voluminous amount” of information.
