The only NC winning program (AP poll era) to not suffer major violations is BYU. Before this year PSU deserved to be mentioned as the other. Whether they officially get tagged or not is semantics, imo.

OK, so to some degree doesn't that suggest that there's no need to point fingers at other teams/conferences when pretty much all of them have skeletons in the closet.

Somehow it seems like the "Yeah but they cheated!" statement just doesn't make sense since major violations abound. I know I sound like a broken record as well, but I really wish it weren't much of a topic around here because it no longer seems relevant.

Btw, the NCAA has recently removed the list of major infractions and replaced it with a searchable database. That database is not accessible today.

Are you having a problem where you start typing a team or conference in and it reloads and deletes what you've written?

If that's it, you have to click on the ''home'' tab, then go to the ''search'' tab, go to the bottom of the list, and click ''major infractions''. That will take you back to the database, but it will no longer reload.

FWIW, that's where I got the numbers I posted.

It means that while the NCAA Is kicking our dicks in the dirt, Alabama is winning NC's doing the same...let's face it, worse shit. The "disassociated" booster was on the fucking sidelines! Our school cooperates and gets an unprecedented hammer dropped. Not saying the penalty was outrageous, just unprecedented. So I think the topic is very relevant, and will continue to be until the NCAA's hand of justice back slaps a couple programs from the vaunted SEC WHILE they're winning, not twenty fucking years after.

"I see some of these teams, the Auburns. I'm told, I don't know and I haven't coached in that league, but I'm told that down south the Alabamas and LSUs and some of these teams that have these great players, that maybe the NCAA needs to look into their situation," Cooper said. "Those teams have been on probation. As you know, Alabama's certainly one of the most penalized teams in college football, as is the Southeastern Conference. We say the SEC's the best and they are the best, but they've also had more NCAA violations than probably all the other leagues put together the last 10 years."

Former Buckeye coach Cooper, members of ?96 team sign autographs
January 22, 2012
By JOE CATULLO JR. , Tribune Chronicle correspondent

NILES - Ohio State University fans gathered around Everything Buckeyes in Eastwood Mall Saturday afternoon and waited for a chance to meet members of the 1996 football team.

Appearing were former coach John Cooper, quarterback Joe Germaine, wide receiver David Boston, linebacker Andy Katzenmoyer and defensive end Matt Finkes.

All five members said they continue to follow the Buckeyes and are excited about new coach Urban Meyer taking the reins.

"He's a spread offense kind of guy," Cooper said. "I think in college football if I got back in it, I know that's what I would do. He believes in the offseason program, got those guys lifting and running and all that kind of stuff."

Cooper added that Meyer hired a great staff.

"One thing Ohio State did was give him the resources to hire pretty much who he wanted to hire, and it looks like he's done that," Cooper said. "They're going to work hard, they're going to recruit aggressively, and they're going to win."

Cooper on Meyer: ‘We hit a home run’
Published: Sun, January 22, 2012

If John Cooper was still coaching today, he’d adapt Urban Meyer’s style in a heartbeat.

The former Buckeye head coach was in the Valley on Saturday at the Eastwood Mall to talk with fans, sign autographs and offer praise to Ohio State’s new leader.

“[Meyer] is a spread offense guy and that’s it in college football, now,” Cooper said. “If I got back in it, that’s what I would run.”

It’s safe to say when the Ashtabula native was named the 24th head coach in OSU history back on November 28, Cooper gave his full endorsement.

“I think we hit a home run,” Cooper said. “He’s the right man at the right time for the right job.”

?Why in the world everybody keeps bringing up all this other stuff, I don?t understand,? former OSU coach John Cooper said yesterday. ?Joe Paterno was very saddened by what happened over there, but Joe Paterno didn?t do that. ... We say here (in Columbus) that coach Tressel should have passed the information along that he got (concerning his players receiving improper benefits), that?s all he had to do. Well, that?s what coach Paterno did do, from the way I understand it. He passed along the information after he got it.

?But instead, we?re reading about the scandal and what he didn?t do. Lord have mercy, the man won more games than anybody who ever coached in major-college football, and he did it the right way.?

Mack Brown spouted the same nonsense. Some psychological circle the wagons bullshit that won't let them speak negatively about one of the club.

While I wouldn't have expected any coach to come out with a negative comment about JoePed, I do think silence speaks volumes for those not making the boilerplate feel good quote about Dear Leader.

One noticeably different thing here is that, whether it's Cooper, JT or UM, football coaches don't speak for the university at Ohio State. They're free to speak their opinion, and we're free to agree or disagree as we individually see fit. Just the opinion of a single university employee or ex-employee. No Dear Leader cult here.

We'll never get a decent cult going if they keep firing the coach. :sad2:
