Bingo. I fully expect that OSU must vacate all wins from the 2010-11 season (bowl game included), in part simply because it is what the offended masses are clamoring for.

Will they vacate the entire 2010-11 season for the Auburn Tigers because that is what the offended masses are clamoring for as well, then?

Those in the offended masses, Arkansas players but especially their fans - we're clamoring for an opportunity to beat Ohio State at "full strength".
Now all you hear is the bitching about using ineligible players after the dust has settled.

Sometimes you don't want what you ask for.

It'd be nice if they would, but unfortunately, the SEC has deeper pockets than the Big 10 (at this point).

And if the NCAA says that tOSU must vacate wins for the entire season (which I don't think will happen), then they better damn well go back and tell USC they have to do the same.

Mallett was at 'full strength'. Full 'prescription' strength.

Re: The potential vacating of wins...

How can the ncaa justify taking away regular season wins, but say that they were eligible to play in the Sugar Bowl and let that win stand? That just seems silly to me. Either leave them all or take them all. Being that you said they were eligible to play in the Sugar Bowl, it should stand to reason that the other wins stand. Unless they throw out and arbitrary number of games they "would have" been ineligible.

Just thinking out loud here. The ncaa has shown no consistency and seems to have no rhyme or reason to how it operates...

Beyond this, the players weren't ineligible, as in "permanently ineligible". They were suspended for 5 games for taking impermissible benefits, but not ever ruled ineligible. Big difference IMO.

Actually, didn't a story just come out that portrayed the Big Ten as generating more TV revenue than the SEC?

Agreed.

It's just the cliff-jumpers (not that anyone here is truly doing it like they are on Hineygate) having a chance to act outraged again.

Give it two weeks once the emotional reaction to the non-news has been digested a bit.

I'm no cliff-jumper but there was news, from my vantage point anyways.

I was of the opinion that Jim Tressel HAD to have forwarded those emails to Gene Smith or the compliance department for advice.

Turns out..

Tressel reached out to TP several times, reached out to TP's mentor.. even called the FBI (although the agent claims the discussions were unrelated to TP).

If Jim Tressel thought it was important enough to send to TPs mentor.. why wouldn't he send it on to the AD or compliance department or on of the 100 attorneys at tOSU?

To me.. this news blows the "consiparcy theory" that JT was falling on the sword out of the water.

Our Coach, whos image is being honest & sincere, lied to the NCAA and knowingly played inelgible players.

Not good.

You're talking about this one?

She does say that the report could have variance in it:

It?s also important to note that this data is from July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010, so we?re talking about the 2009 football season. Additionally, while these are the most complete numbers available for all FBS schools, there is some room for variance.
