COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State tailback Maurice Clarett will be held out
of preseason football practice until questions regarding his
eligibility are settled, the school said late Wednesday night.


"Clarett will not participate in preseason football camp until, and
unless, all issues related to his eligibility regarding his amateur
status have been resolved," athletic director Andy Geiger and coach
Jim Tressel said in a release.


The school's release also included an apology from Clarett in
connection with events related to the theft of a car from the Woody
Hayes Athletic Facility on April 17, and a statement from Clarett's
attorney, Scott Schiff, saying that the car was a borrowed vehicle and
that Clarett exaggerated the value of some items reported stolen from
it.


The NCAA has investigated a police report filed by Clarett which said
cash and thousands of dollars of stereo equipment owned by him were
stolen from the car he was driving.

Regardless of how the season for him
goes (barring a career ending injury) look
for him to be in the NFL draft next April.

With all that has gone down at Ohio
State I don't think he will want to hang around there much longer.
