Ohio State Pays O’Brien: The Ohio Supreme Court declined Ohio State’s appeal to former head coach’s Jim O’Brien lawsuit, signaling the end of a long court battle and earning the coach almost $3 million. Ohio State fired O’Brien in 2004 after he told then-athletic director Andy Geiger that he had given a $6,000 loan to a prospect, a violation of NCAA rules. The coach sued the university because he was fired without a due process of investigation. The 57-year-old hasn’t coached since but may be able to do it again as soon as March 10. He said he hasn’t made a decision on whether he’ll come back to the courts or not. [2/22/08]

-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
