- Lifetime ban for Stalions.

Yikes.
Imagine if he doesn't get banned. And he zurps on somewhere else, and after 5 years or so he gets THAT program in trouble for cheating. Or... maybe he doesn't get that program in trouble... but he gets *ichigan in trouble, again. Maybe he goes to Penn State. And then for 5 years, *ichigan beats them by a total of 200-10. And it's found out that he's still working for *ichigan - he's relaying signals back to *ichigan. And they find out there's a whole network of double-agents working for *ichigan. Ha.
Anyway, anyone who hires Stalions is an idiot. Let's give them the chance to be idiots.

I'm fairly confident that Moore got his position to keep him quiet about the whole operation. Hell hath no fury like an assistant coach who has dirt on your program and wants more than what he has. *ichigan knew that when they offered him the spot. Joe Paterno knew it when he gave a spot to McQueary.

He doesn't have any dirt on the program, anymore. Maybe Day purposely lost to *ichigan last year to ensure he'd be there a few more years.

I think Moore keeps his job as well. Who could they get to coach them through what we hope will be a period of NCAA penalties galore anyway?

I guess this is kind of the bare minimum I need to see to be satisfied (and it is harsh because FUCK THEIR CHEATING ASSES):

- Removal of all recognition of their 2021-2023 seasons to include wins, the fugazi B1G championships, and their fugazi NC*
- 3 year postseason ban
- Significant recruiting restrictions
- 1 year suspension & show cause for Sniffles.
- Suspensions for any coaches involved in the scheme with show causes for any coach that was evasive or that outright mislead the NCAA
- Lifetime ban for Stalions.
- Significant fines & enhanced oversight on their program by the NCAA
- Thorough/aggressive public reprimand from the NCAA detailing their transgressions with names named.
- Kneel before Zod Day.

That, to me, would be as close to the "death penalty" as we will see in modern times. Now, will that impact their program as severely as we want? In today's CFB, I'm not sure. It will definitely hurt. But today's CFB with NIL isn't what it was 10 years ago. They may very well still be able to attract top recruits and field competent teams because money talks. CFB isn't about pride and pageantry like it used to be. Most top recruits look at it as a lucrative job now. If their donors still fork out $$$, they'll probably still get recruits. Where it will likely hurt the most would be their ability to attract top-flight coaches and their ability to put depth around any star player(s) they sign.

Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

Yes, delayed gratification is the smart play, even (or perhaps especially) where pussy is concerned.

Yet how many young man are able or willing to delay gratification where pussy is concerned?

That's why it's undefeated.

How many are willing to delay gratification for things infinitely less gratifying than pussy?

No many. And not just at that age if we are being honest.

2026 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

pnuts34
Per 11w poster:
Listened to Bucknuts Morning 5

Nasser McCoy, Donovan Webb, and Danny Odom were guys that BK speculated the staff could circle back with.

BK said a family’s financial situation is something that has to be considered in recruiting now. $10,000 can be life changing money to some people

Mark Porter mentioned it’s hard on these guys to wait their turn after being the best player on the field all of their lives

He mentioned when other teams have Crown Jewel money but don’t have a crown jewel so they target the lower level guys in OSU’s class

Porter loves Ohio guys and ran off a list of Ohio DBs that OSU could track this fall . One name that he mentioned that perked my interest was Chris Newell from Glenville. Newell played RB last year but is transitioning to CB. He doesn’t have any DB tape but Porter said he really impressed Big 10 coaches in camps. Sounds like he could be a late riser if he plays well this year

These are all valid points. And many points I've made previously. It sounds great to land players with a massive deal, but that's only a very small part of the plan. The players still need to hold up their end of the bargain and play well and develop and mature yearly. Awesome, Weatherspoon got $500k more to go to Chapel Hill, he also no longer can be expected to RS in year 1 and learn the speed of the college game, grasp the playbook, etc. He is expected to be a 2 deep contributor from day 1. And do it for one of the most demanding coaches in football history. At OSU, he could sit, learn and play special teams before having to play big minutes. Kudos for betting on himself, though I know the extra $500k didn't hurt. But its going to be interesting seeing some of these 18yo react to the massive pressure from these fan bases who expect stellar play out of the gate, and don't want to hear that they're still learning. I can only imagine what Felix Ojo will deal with in his first year in Lubbock when he's rolling around in his luxury car after getting destroyed by a DL from Kansas St. I'm sure the locals won't be too thrilled with that
