LB Dorian Bell (transfer to Duquesne)

It's becoming pretty clear that student athletes... assume they have a little more leeway than the average student.

Just assume this movie is a documentary:

It's becoming pretty clear that student athletes (and this is by no means exclusive to tOSU) assume they have a little more leeway than the average student.

When, in fact, they have FAR less leeway than regular students. Ask the NCAA...unless that's a violation. Then don't.

This, too. Very much this.

I'm referring to the school dropping the hammer on the offenders, not the NCAA dropping it on Ohio State. It's becoming pretty clear that student athletes (and this is by no means exclusive to tOSU) assume they have a little more leeway than the average student.
And for the record, my comment in regards to Dorian is in support of the school, not a criticism of it. I'm saying that I think the severe punishment (year suspension) is justified.

Things I did in college that would not have gone over with the NCAA

1) Let my buddies buy me beers, lunch what ever
2)had a job for the full school year
3)party'd in a way that would make most other than buckyle blush
4)The list goes on and on

I did too, but I also wasn't on a full ride.

I met Dane Sanzenbacher in a bar a couple weeks before the Rose Bowl. People were clamoring to have their pictures taken with him. "I can't right now" he said, "but I'll be outside in a few minutes." A few minutes later, he was outside taking pictures with everybody, then headed right back in. The guy understood the rules he was supposed to be following, and he followed them.

Hope McVey can get healthy and be the stud he was in high school. Glad we have Grant, Crowell and Price coming in. They may have to provide depth. Go Bucks

Just a thought, but Durham was supposedly moved to FB. Perhaps the coaches will reconsider. Also, Price reportedly is a crunching hitter, but doesn't necessarily have the measureables of the other linebackers -- perhaps he can be Boren's replacement as lead blocker.

1) If you were in a position to where the NCAA would come into play, that would mean that many of your buddies would be teammates, and them buying you lunch, etc., wouldn't be a violation
2) NCAA doesn't prohibit side employment
3) Even underage drinking falls under school and civil rules, not the NCAA

What about the drugs?

Durnham was moved to fullback because of JT Moore's progress and so we are talking about different positions. He was also moved out of need. I seriously doubt that they move him back to Defense, but I guess anything's possible.

:osu:

I think Curtis Grant gets an early shot because of this.

 

[wadc45]

Bad news: unfortunately knew about this for a while
Good news: Ebner is trying to get him to come out to sevens practice which starts tomorrow

 

[WoodyWorshiper]

is it basketball season yet?

Dude, I'm with you.

For the first time in my life, at age 48, I can honestly say that I don't give a rat's ass about this upcoming football season. The "bads" have SO stolen away from the "goods."

Peace

I'm not up on Bell's status before this incident. Was he a redshirt? Just curious if the suspended year can count as a redshirt since he didn't play. Just curious becaus Marcus Hall is in a similiar situation as far as eligibility. He missed a year but not due to an official "redshirt"

 

[cbrian815]

Bell has already burned the redshirt. I dont think there is a lot of options other than sit out a year and change your habits or leave. It would show the staff a lot if he did change and finish his career here. Go Bucks

 

[pnuts34]

It really really sucks to lose Bell for the year but at least the incoming frosh provide a nice insurance poilcy as far as depth. Not to mention, Jordan Whiting might be able to fill his role as can McVey if he can get healthy. I'm still excited about this season, I'm sorry others aren't. We still have great depth on D at all positions
