Unartful Dodger
Art Schlichter 's life continues its downward spiral

Art Schlichter 's high school coach described him as "a passer who can run and a runner who can pass." He was referring to Schlichter 's quarter-backing talents. In the two decades since leading Ohio State to the Rose Bowl , Schlichter , 40, continued to pass (bad checks) and run (from the law).

Schlichter 's is a textbook case of a man of promise destroyed by gambling. A star quarterback at Miami Trace High in Ohio , he started betting by the time he began his All-America career at Ohio State in 1978. When the Colts made him their first-round pick in the 1982 NFL draft, he was a full-fledged addict. Midway through his rookie season he had already blown his entire $350,000 signing bonus and $140,000 salary betting on baseball, basketball, college football and horse racing. Schlichter was suspended by the NFL for the '83 season for gambling, reinstated in '84, then permanently banned in '86. From there his life spiraled downward from one sorry incident to the next. He has done two two-year stints in Indiana prisons on charges including bank fraud, forgery and theft; he once stole checks from his employer, a Las Vegas radio station, to support his habit.

Schlichter had to call on all his scrambling skills this month in an attempt to elude friend and foe. On May 1 a Columbus motorcycle cop pulled him over for a routine traffic stop. Schlichter allegedly sped from the scene in a 1999 Buick leased to his father, nearly running the cop over. One week later Schlichter spent two nights at the Grove City , Ohio , house of a friend, Chuck Grubbs, 33. Again he left suddenly—not long before Grubbs discovered that his bank card and credit cards were missing. Police believe Schlichter took them.

That wasn't even the latest in the litany of felonies authorities say Schlichter has committed. On May 15 federal marshals in Indiana charged him with money laundering for allegedly attempting to use his father's credit card to obtain cash to pay off debts (he had accepted money for sports tickets he didn't have). After a three-day manhunt, Schlichter , who was living out of the Buick, was apprehended peacefully in a diner in Ravenna , Ohio .

Schlichter could face 20 years in prison on the federal charges. His life, and that of his family, long ago was torn asunder by his addiction. His wife, Mitzi, left him in 1994, and their divorce was finalized in '98; she has custody of their two daughters, Taylor, 10, and Madison , 6. Prison is no cure for Schlichter 's addiction: Last year, shortly after his release from his second two-year term, he was charged with having used the prison's pay phones to place illegal bets on football and hockey (he pleaded not guilty). "When you start stealing from your family and friends," Schlichter told PEOPLE from prison in 1996, "you know that it's only a matter of time before you're put in jail or you put a gun to your head."

KNIGHT CONTROVERSY
One Brand of Reasoning

While most of America was stunned at the light punishment handed down to Indiana basketball coach Bob Knight by university president Myles Brand , those who had read philosopher Brand 's 1984 page-turner, Intending and Acting: Toward a Naturalized Action Theory, might not have been shocked. "Sometimes actions are performed involuntarily, which include those done from strong emotion or instinct...." Brand wrote. "Some actions are performed in a state of ignorance, by accident, or by mistake. From the viewpoint of the ascription or diminution of responsibility, legal or moral, the manner in which these distinctions are drawn is crucial. For example, in many circumstances moral responsibility for what we do is diminished to the degree to which an action is involuntary."

So did Knight act involuntarily when he tossed a vase in the direction of a secretary, hurled a sports information director to the floor, choked guard Neil Reed and manhandled assistant coach Ron Felling? Brand could argue that he did. Knight surely acts with strong emotion, and Brand admitted that Knight suffered from ignorance, since Indiana had never set down guidelines for acceptable behavior. Brand 's own logic compelled him to give Knight another chance. In philosophy, after all, it's better to be consistent than to be right.
