Skull Session: Marvin Harrison Jr. makes history for Ohio State, DeVier Posey thinks the “Tattoo Five” shaped NIL and TreVeyon Henderson will be missed in the CFP.
Remember Tattoogate? You know, the controversy in 2010 and 2011 that forced Jim Tressel to resign and resulted in the departure of Terelle Pryor and suspensions of DeVier Posey, Mike Adams, Daniel “Boom” Herron and Solomon Thomas?As NIL continues to evolve , the whole controversy seems more laughable by the day. Posey laughs about it to this day, but he also understands the integral role the “Tattoo Five” played in laying the groundwork for NIL in collegiate athletics.
Dunne: With Ohio State, I can’t imagine what’s going through your head with all the transfer portal stuff today. All the millions of dollars being thrown around. It’s ridiculous to think what you, Terrelle and all you guys went through. At the time, it’s the No. 1 sports story. Your name’s getting dragged through the muck.
Posey: It’s crazy, man. Your pain can always be somebody else’s glory. I’ve invited it. I know our story has impacted NIL and a lot of decisions. When you look back at how we were dragged, we know we helped shape this NIL. We helped people realize how silly it was. To be honest, we had NIL deals all around the city. The irony of it all, my sophomore year, being a communications major, we had to do a 30-minute speech. I picked: “Why college athletes should be paid.
I was really excited to see what Henderson could do for the Buckeyes this season. The sophomore from Hopewell, Virginia, was a preseason All-American and had incredible hype surrounding him after the best freshman-year performance from an Ohio State running back since Maurice Clarett in 2002.
