You kids stay off my lawn!
Was there not an undisputed violation of NCAA rules?
Did Coach Tressel know about the tatoos and fail to report same to the AD and the school?
It seems to me that if you're trying to make your program look like one in which there is concern for compliance you don't turn around and reward violators by having them play in a televised event.
As for Adams, Tressel took chances on both the offense and defense with thin numbers in certain positions. He also tailored the scrimmage to compensate for those thin numbers. Take Adams, Posey and Herron out of the picture and he still had lots of ways he could tailor the event, draw a crowd and give the public a look at next year's team.
You can't go ballistic on USC, Notre Dame, Auburn, Tennessee and Alabama and then demand leniency for the Buckeyes. And yeah, there's a big difference between renting houses, buying quarterbacks and selling jerseys, but that has to be sorted out by the prevailing legal system -- in this case the NCAA and it seems to me that whatever you can do between allegations and punishment to make yourself look like you're taking the high road you should do it -- or else you're just like USC.
And yeah, I'm from that era when punishment meted out at school was doubled by the authorities at home.

You do know that this was basically a practice, right? Just because it was televised doesn't mean it was anything different. So, you really think they should not be allowed to participate in ANY practice opportunities at all? Really?
Anyways, as far as the NCAA is concerned, the players' punishment is already stated. They are allowed to return after a 5 game suspension. Nothing more will be tacked on. Do you really want to punish them more, especially when we're talkin' 'bout practice? /Iverson voice

So to recap:
1. Cinci is confused why the other four weren't also banned from practicing
2. He is informed of an injury which went unnoticed by him for the entire spring ...
3. Cinci argues it appears corrupt to let suspended players practice, as though folks aren't attributing all of the ills of the world to Tressel already (like the point shaving stupidity, which requires immense ignorance to even suggest let alone repeat like much of the nation is)
4. Cinci argues suspended players should not be rewarded with practice time.
I assume #5 will be calling for them to be banned from practice until week 5.
PS I'm shocked cinci is taking a contrarian viewpoint.

since they are suspended, shouldn't they be banned from going to class as well?

Why would anyone think they would be held out of the spring game or that that would serve a purpose?
I'm sure all of the pundits would be praising Tressel for holding his players out of the event because it was on television. I can just see the articles popping up on ESPiN discussing the hard stance Tressel took by holding his players out of a televised practice. Sure they'll let it slide when it comes to the little games like the Sugar Bowl but when all the marbles are on the line in spring practice Tressel is not afraid to make an example of his players.
Sorry, but it's a little late for damage control here.

They offered 25 of them a couple of weeks ago for $1,000 apiece - they were sold in a day. The rest were going to be returned to the normal color scheme.

Watched Spring game last night
Hey guys.
I had DVR'd tOSU's spring game and hadn't gotten around to watching it until last night, and was hoping someone would clear something up for me....
Is your defense that good, or are there that many issues on the offensive line?!? I felt for those QBs back there, they were running for their lives. The left side of that line looks like it has some protection issues. MAJOR protection issues. Is it injury?
Then, which receiver wants to step up? I didn't see any of that, with guys dropping balls left and right.
Finally - I can see why Pryor is held in such high regard around there. His athleticism brings a different scheme to the D. Anybody else back there has a bullseye planted on their chest and backside.
If you guys get through the 5 game suspensions undefeated....I will be highly impressed, and quite concerned when we meet each other.
On the plus side - Wisconsin's spring game...well...LOL

O line only had 7 or so healthy players so they split the 90 reps amongst those 7 guys. That is a lot of work for a 90 minute scrimmage. There were 4 players in the secondary that sat out with injuries as well.
The defense has dominated spring practice....just not the spring game. I am not worried about the defense at all. QB and receiver is a little dicey for the first 5 games.

In addition to the above comments, it ALWAYS looks like that in the spring game. The defensive line is almost always terrific, and the OL depth is always pretty suspect, especially when split up.
