Think the NCAA may want to ask a few questions?

Police said that an apartment belonging to Ohio State football players A.J. Hawk and Nick Mangold was burglarized in the days following the team’s win over Michigan.

According to a Columbus Division of Police report, the burglary occurred sometime between Nov. 22 at 6 p.m. and Nov. 23 at 8 p.m.

Hawk, Mangold, and a third roommate, Jonathan Thomas, told police that their apartment in the 100 block of West Norwich Avenue was broken into and about $3,000 in cash, $1,425 in movies, two laptop computers, a $500 Gucci watch, two Microsoft X-Box games valued at a total of $500, a Sony Playstation game valued at $250 were taken.

“I don’t have a lot, and now that little bit that I have is now gone,” Mangold said.

Mangold, the Buckeyes’ center, told NBC 4’s Duarte Geraldino that he received a phone call from Hawk, telling him that their apartment was burglarized.

Police were not told about the crime until Nov. 28, according to their report.

About the best non-booster payment explanation I can come up with to explain college kids having around $3K sitting in their apartment, is that one of them was in charge of the booze/party slush fund. Maybe they were planning on one hell of an end of the semester bash?
