Boban Savovic (pronounced SAH-vo-vich) (born November 27, 1979) is a former college basketball player from Montenegro, Yugoslavia. Savovic played for the Ohio State University men's basketball program from 1998-2002. Savovic made headlines on June 8, 2004 when Kathleen Salyers, a 47-year-old, part-time housekeeper, filed a suit against Dan Roslovic, an Ohio State graduate and an alleged booster, and his ex-wife Kim Roslovic, also an Ohio State graduate, for whom Salyers provided babysitting services and with whom Savovic originally lived upon moving to Columbus, Ohio the summer before his freshman year. It was in depositions for this lawsuit that Salyers claimed knowledge of a $6,000 payment by Jim O'Brien to former Buckeyes recruit Aleksandar Radojevic. The money was purportedly to help Radojevic's family in Yugoslavia, a story O'Brien admitted to Ohio State athletic director Andy Geiger and which resulted in his firing. During Savovic's four-year career at Ohio State, Salyers claims she incurred many expenses on his behalf, including school supplies; meals; costs associated with his registering for classes; a cell phone; a suit for him to wear to the OSU basketball banquet; car insurance; long-distance phone calls to Yugoslavia; trips to and from Hawaii, where Savovic's brother Predrag played, as well as New York; and $200 weekly spending money. Salyers also claims that Ohio State professors twice changed grades to keep Savovic from failing and losing his scholarship. As a result of these allegations, the NCAA placed the Ohio State men's basketball program on probation March 10, 2006 for three years, forcing them to take down all awards presented while Savovic was on the team including a final four banner from 1998.
