Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Ohio State’s football program committed four minor NCAA infractions during the 2019-2020 school year. The university released a report to The Dispatch on Wednesday in response to a public records request.
According to the report, all were submitted to the NCAA and resolved. The violations reported by the school included impermissible contact with recruits, stemming from text messages sent by two unnamed assistant coaches and a member of the support staff in the days following the 2019 season-opening win over Florida Atlantic.
The coaching staff had been prohibited from sending electronic messages during the first week of Sept. 2019 due to previously committed secondary violations.
“All text messages would have otherwise been permissible to send if the self-imposed penalty had not been in place,” the report said.
Other infractions included excessive preseason expenses given to a player, who was asked to repay the over-awarded amount of $221 to a charity.
Another violation was for allowing six unnamed recruits to park without a permit near the Woody Hayes Athletic Center while they were unofficially visiting for the Week 2 contest against Cincinnati.
The final violation was for an unnamed player joining the team over the course of the last year without having his eligibility paperwork processed.

Ohio State self-reports two minor NCAA violations in football for 2022-23
Ohio State's athletic department self-reported two minor NCAA violations related to football over the past academic year, according to documents obtained by The Dispatch through a public records request.The use of a blocking sled during conditioning in February and a recruit's contact with a former player on a visit last September made up the violations.
Both are Level III infractions, the lowest level and considered to be isolated or limited in nature by the college sports governing body that typically result in no to minimal penalties.
As part of a workout on Feb. 13, players pushed a blocking sled that had been fashioned to include more weights.
“This additional weight was meant to add resistance as a part of the conditioning drills,” read the school’s report.
Teams are prohibited from using equipment specific to the sport at that point on the calendar.
The compliance staff at another school notified Ohio State after a clip of the workout was posted on Twitter, prompting it to reduce countable athletically related activities by a half-hour for the week of March 5-11.

The issue on the recruiting trip came after a prospect and guests, who were visiting for the Buckeyes’ Big Ten opener against Wisconsin on Sept. 24, were taken by a staff member to meet a former player at their tailgate in a parking lot across a street from campus.
Because the interaction occurred off campus, it is considered impermissible.

Also won't have to worry about losing QBs to the NFL after just a year or two. No brainer, IMO.

Plus we get to watch Dave right and Dave left instead of a prolific aerial attack, which I'm sure all fans are eagerly awaiting.

What happened to my ¤cash?
There’s many other visceral experiences I would chose for any given fall Saturday over Dave left / Dave right. On the short list: Rosie left / Rosie right…

The first violation occurred in the summer of 2025, when the Buckeyes used a student manager no longer enrolled at the university. A previous enrollee at one of Ohio State's regional campuses, his duties include some clock operation responsibilities for OSU. The manager was removed, and Ohio State has since introduced enrollment tracking services for its managers.
“The (equipment) staff believed the individual involved would be enrolling at the main campus for the fall 2025 term and permitted him to commence performing traditional managerial duties,” the report read, per the Dispatch.
The second violation reported occurred in January 2025, when a player participated in team strength and conditioning activities before being medically cleared. After the violation was discovered, Ohio State's medical staff cleared the athlete that day, and the Buckeyes are reexamining their medical clearance process.
The third and final self-reported violation occurred when an Ohio State assistant coach shared a post on social media announcing the verbal commitment of a transfer portal prospect, but since the prospect had not actually committed yet, an infraction occurred. The post was deleted and the Buckeyes provided educational services to the assistant.
