Here is the text of the statement released today by OSU Athletic Director Andy Geiger on the eligibility status of Maurice Clarett.
UPDATE 8/22: More on Clarett from ESPN.com
UPDATE 8/23: A few more details of how the processs will play out from here were made public in and after the press conference yesterday, and are specified in this article by Steve Helwagen at Bucknuts.com.
To sum up the new information:
OSU officials will review a list of allegations against Clarett, consider precedents in other cases, and recommend a penalty to the NCAA. The NCAA will then either approve of, or reject that recommendation, and in the event of a rejection, OSU will have the right to appeal the decision to committee of their "peers".
OSU Athletic Director, Andy Geiger said he will take "a few days" before making that recommendation to the NCAA. In the meantime, Clarett can practice with the team.
