Good ones.

"Ohio State self reports to NCAA case involving head football coach."

"This memo is to self-report violations involving the Ohio State University's football program. Specifically, a representative of the athletic's interests provided five student-athletes wages in excess of hours worked."

I thought this thread was about new stuff.

It is. He just asked me where Ohio State had been ass-raped when they did the right thing. In case anyone forgot, self reporting before didn't do us any favors. We still got [censored]ed.

I'm not saying we shouldn't self report, but I am saying that I don't think we actually get any credit for it from the NCAA.

These 2 crack me up... The fact that the NCAA is specific enough for these to be violation is a joke.

-On Aug. 20, assistant coach Dick Tressel responded to a text message from the parents of recruit Warren Ball asking which gate to use to enter Ohio Stadium for a scrimmage. Texting the parents of a recruit was a violation.

-In December of 2010, five current football players took five recruits on OSU visits to a movie. NCAA rules allow each recruit $60 in spending money for entertainment. A cab ride to the movie put each recruit between $1 and $5 over budget, which the football players paid out of pocket. That was not allowed because the $60 limit was exceeded.

Those stories were far beyond secondary violations, even when we were being lied to and we thought everything was OK.

There is literally no comparison here. Secondary violations are meaningless and happen at every school across all sports, mostly by accident. They are like parking tickets from campus police. They are only a problem if you ignore them.

The NCAA is broken. The fact we have fans who go apeshit over this nonsensical crap just underlines that fact.

I don't care if we get the death penalty now

So wait, a grown-ass man having a dip is an NCAA violation but Les Miles picking his nose and eating it isn't?

Gotta protect the kids. They might see his can of Copenhagen on television while watching a collision sport.

Not to get off on the subject here but this comment reminds me of the military of today. They will send into a combat zone where you could get shot at and blown to pieces but heaven forbid you smoke or chew!

Looks like Vrabels lipper deserves us getting another bowl ban

Last August, quality control football staffer Kirk Barton, a former OSU offensive lineman, created and ordered 20 "JT" bracelets for $5 each online to honor former coach Jim Tressel. He intended them for friends and family, but several players asked Barton about the bracelets. He sold seven players the bracelets for $15, charging that amount in an attempt to make sure no violation was committed, knowing that giving them out for free would be an NCAA violation. But selling them still was deemed a violation because players had access to something not available to the general public. The players returned the bracelets.

So, you cannot give anything to a college football player if it is not available to the general public? But, you cannot sell something to a football player either?

Huh?

For anyone whose pussy has sand in it from these violations..... The reporting of these dumb ass things is a result of our compliance department doing their job....you will see this at Ohio State from now on....its a show of transparency

Secondary violations are secondary violations - ie, almost nothing. We had 375 secondary violations between 2000 and 2009, and we will also have a ton under Meyer. There will also be a ton at TSUN and every other school in the nation. Some people need to relax...
