I am a patient man.
I passed the marshmallow test when I was three.
BUT I WANT THE SANCTIONS TODAY!!!
December, 2010, it was reported that Ohio State had players receiving impermissible benefits - magic tattoos that make them faster, stronger, and better at football.
May, 2011, Tressel was fired. I believe the players involved in the magic tattoos were also given official punishments by this time.
By October or November, 2011, official punishments for the university were figured out. Everything was done by December, 2011.
In about October, 2023, we learned about the cheaters' cheating.
It's now 22 months later.
I get that Ohio State cooperated, making the process quicker. But this is crazy. Show them the biggest hammer you have. And then hit them with a bigger hammer.
They were cheating from 2021 through 2023. 3 years. Let's say a 1-year investigation is normal. The second year of this investigation should also be added to the amount of time they've been cheating. 4 years of cheating and/or stonewalling = 4-8 years of hammers. And those hammers need to be soon.
