This is crap. I'm so disappointed. Not so much in the players, but the NCAA. With reason, think about this. If I gave you a ring. And you wanted to buy a necklace for your mother, or for yourself, it really doesn't matter. And you sold it for the money, am I going to raise a stink? No. It's yours, that is why I gave it to you.
I don't understand how they can be penalized for what they do with items under their possession.

Ugh, I sure hope this appeal comes through with some positive side effects.
Well, good news, we'll see more of our new star freshman QB.
Bad news, we might lose Pryor and the others to the draft. I'm sure a kick start into the NFL sounds much more appeasing than sitting out half of the college season.

The rules can be debated all anyone wants, but they're there and should be followed unless you want to be a selfish POS that puts the entire team in jeopardy.

Nobody forces these kids to play NCAA football. They can play arena league or another handful of professional leagues outside of the NFL should they choose to take that path.

So someone just mentioned that the rule regarding selling items like rings, gold pants etc was just put in place 2 years ago. I know that it was said that they sold their items 2 years ago. Does anyone else have a date that the selling of personally owned materials(as stated above) was officially put in place? If it was 2 years ago, that is pretty harsh for these guys.

The no selling things like championship rings rule was enacted after this scandal. See the part where the article said there was no rule against it.

So it may be a fantastic find, but it does not support the conclusion that you were hoping to find.

Mark May's stance is still idiotic...Ryan Mallett would 100% be playing in this game if the shoes were on the other foot.

TP and the rest of the five now have the great opportunity to admit their mistake, apologize, and move forward by showing leadership in the face of adversity. If they don't perhaps this is the time for one of the other members of the team to accept the challenge and assume the mantle of leadership and vow that something like this can never be allowed to happen again

Hopefully, someone steps up and shows that type of character. A huge impression could be made on the younger Buckeyes, as well as future ones.

Haha you tell 'em Mark! Cam totally got screwed when the NCAA suspended...wait a minute here.

Well NCAA served A.J. Green a much harsher punishment than these players...oh wait that's right, they didn't.

What's Mark May's point again?

They served the same punishment.

The difference is that Green's suspension started immediately. Your guys can play in the bowl game. Granted, Green's issue was discovered right before the season started, and not in late December.

Your guys got one more game because they continued to hide what they had done from your compliance people after they (the players involved) learned - for sure learned - that what they had done was prohibited.

Mark May is an idiot, and what he says may not be accurate, but the Green case is not a good example of why tOSU got treated unfairly. The real value of the A.J. Green case is that after the ruling came down suspending the star receiver, EVERYBODY knew that it was improper to sell your stuff and that it would lead to a suspension.

Your guys kept mum. That is why they got the extra game suspension.

You can't even take him seriously. Like I don't know how he wakes up and looks in the mirror and doesn't just start laughing.

Maybe he does, who knows.

But trying to act like the SEC is perfect compared to the Big Ten?? That has to be a joke.

He's still pissed about that merciless beatdown we gave his alma matter. You can see it in his eyes, he fills with hatred at the mention of ohio state.

That's my point though. May's arguing that tOSU got off lighter than an SEC team would when that's bullshit quite honestly.
