Ohio State looks into allegations

Ohio State is investigating allegations that a booster provided free dental work to members of the women’s basketball team, athletic director Andy Geiger said Thursday.

Geiger said no current members of the second-ranked Buckeyes are in danger of being declared ineligible, and that an investigation was under way into whether NCAA rules were violated.

An orthodontist may have done work on players but failed to bill their insurance companies, Geiger said.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Friday that Geiger said two current players received invoices from an orthodontist saying they owed nothing, and the players assumed their insurance paid for it.

The school reported the situation to the NCAA, which approved continued eligibility for the two current players, Geiger said.
