He probably shouldn't talk about it but I don't know if it is even possible to police this stuff.

It brings to light that the folks in charge are overwhelmed or not policing their kids enough for this to happen. This stuff calls for a public lynching and we're gonna get it.

Buckeye86;1933292; said:That seems like an overly pessimistic point of view at this point. The NCAA investigated the Clarett fiasco on three separate occasions and found no wrong doing despite the media firestorm and the lasting national perception of the program that it caused.
A media firestorm has once again been set off and more and more of the seemingly damning allegations are being proven wrong every day. I'm not saying Ohio State is going to avoid punishment in all of this, but the perception of the wrongdoing and the reality are seemingly miles apart at the moment due to a lack of information to the general public and countless rumors, accusations, and superfluous stories from the media and fans alike.
I understand that you are somehow an "insider" and may know more than I do about the situation, but the instances you used seem to have little bearing on the current situation. Obviously fans across the country use those things in forming their opinions, but I would hope that the NCCA won't. In fact, I would hope that the NCAA uses past examples of Ohio State being model citizens and going all out to work with them in compliance as a positive.
Naive? Possibly. Optimistic? Absolutely.

Since the SI story was more interested in rehashing 20 year old YSU stuff, can I assume that "what's coming" will at least be current, or is Ohio State going to have to answer for Corny Greene getting a free handkerchief in 1974?unionfutura;1933315; said:I remember stating that the si story wasn't that big of a deal compared to what's coming, but hey what do i know.
