Predictably, the tone in many of today's media reports tend to implicate that OSU somehow "got away" with something. You don't have to dodge a bullet that was never fired. Despite the wishes of hack sports writers, the real life consequences of random campus denizens saying they saw players going in and out of tattoo parlors 24/7 amount to exactly jack squat. The NCAA, even taking in to account its complete lack of consistency or integrity, cannot hang its hat on unsubstantiated hearsay. Considering the recent parade of programs that were caught taking active participation in major violations (and receiving relatively light penalties), OSU's self-imposed sanctions appear to be more than sufficient.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that anyone involved in the NCAA violations is in any way exonerated. I would be pleasantly surprised if this is the end of the ride. But as to the notion that OSU will receive or deserves penalties equal or harsher than those levied against USC or SMU, it would seem that a semblance of reason has been applied. The court of public opinion will cry foul, and they are more than welcome to go fuck themselves.

If that pushes the limits, then this should be hunky-dory:
Michelle Hunzicker, for those who are not aware of the wonders of
TinEye. If the internet existed when I was going thru puberty, I would have been discovered dead in a very embarrassing position many years ago. You used to have to go thru hell and high water to find pics like this.
