I'm like everyone else in that I'm glad this thing has finally come to an end. I have one question in regards to the university having to repay the $800,000 for the violations. Why don't they make O'Brien chip in and use some of that money he may get in the court case he won. After all, he and Biancardi are the ones who started this whole mess. Seems only fair they pay the piper as well.

I agree since O'Brien is the one who got us into this mess he should have to pay the fine

I would not be surprised if they did not go after him. Granted, the NCAA is not a court, but it could have some impact if a lawsuit ended up in front of a jury.

Musberger just said the entire tOSU athletic department is on 3 years probation, not just the men's basketball program.

It would surprise me if that wasn't true. You had findings against your two major programs, and let's not forget that nasty teeth drilling the ladies were getting for free.

Apologies if I missed this somewhere, and I support Geiger's action in self-imposing last year's post-season ban regardless, but did the NCAA indicate that it would have imposed a post-season ban this year if OSU hadn't self-imposed one last year?

A quote from the NCAA taken from the Biddle article as linked above:

The school took itself out of postseason in 2004-05 and the committee adopted that penalty as part of its own.

I agree totally. Like I said, it all started with him in the beginning so why should he get rich from the crap he pulled. Good intentions or not if you believe him.

How does the loss of scholarships work (the 2 we voluntarily gave-up along with last season's post-season ban)? The NCAA said that they accepted the post-season ban "as their own", but said nothing of the loss of scholarships. When do we get those scholarships back? (For next year's recruiting class? 3 years from now?)

Does anyone else think that making the announcement 1 hour before the tip of our opening game in the conference tourney smacked of retribution on the part of the NCAA? I don't know, I think just about ANY other time would have been fairer. Then again, I don't agree with the sanctions either.
