________________________________________The Latest Art Schlichter News
Former Ohio State quarterback Art Schlichter could be in trouble – again.
According to a recent report in the Columbus Dispatch, Schlichter is being investigated in a million-dollar scam sports tickets. Sources told the newspaper Schlichter started soliciting people for money as part of “investment opportunities” with the brokerage and sale of tickets for Ohio State football games and other popular sporting events for about two years ago. Schlichter then used the money collected to make large bets that two sources close to the investigation say exceeded six figures.
Schlichter, 50, was All-American for the Buckeyes and the fourth pick in 1982 NFL draft. He was suspended by the NFL in 1983 due to gambling and was one of the league two years later.
Schlichter also spent more than 10 years of prison in 44 prisons and jails on charges of fraud and forgery for having deceived the people, money to feed his addiction to gambling, according to the Dispatch.________________________________________________________________

Get Jana Kramer's 'I Won't Give Up' single now: What'd you think of the 'One Tree Hill' debut?
"One Tree Hill"star Jana Kramerpremiered her first country single, "I Won't Give Up," on the show's Feb. 8 episode, "Holding Out for a Hero," and we loved it.
Kramer's acting career has so far trumped her singing career, but her passion certainly lies with music. The Michigan-born and now Nashville-based country hopeful was recently signed to Warner Music, which she's thrilled about if the exclamation points in her tweets are any indication. "My song 'I won't give up' is available on itunes now!!!!!!! Spread the love!!! I'm so grateful and blessed to have such amazing fans!!!!!!"
Yes, "OTH" fans, you can nab the song, and an acoustic version here.
"One Tree Hill" has an impressive track record for launching up-and-coming artists, from Wakey!Wakey! to Kate Voegele, among many others. We're thinking that if Kramer's country vibe can catch on with the show's fans, her music career's got a good head start.
