File: What Is He Thinking?

Maruice Clarett is admitting that he exaggerated the value of items stolen from his car. The Ohio State tailback is already under NCAA investigation for violating his amateur status by receiving compensation. It would appear that the ownership of the stolen car is under question. OK, fine.

But what I don't get is his admission that he "inflated" the value of the stolen goods. Just what the blazes is Mo thinking? If he is trying to wiggle out of the NCAA's investigation by devaluing the stolen goods so that he could conceivably have bought them on his own, then he's just throwing himself into the proverbial fire by admitting that he falsified a police report.

Duh.
