Yahoo, Tattoos, and tOSU (1-year bowl ban, 82 scholly limit for 3 years)

[MaxBuck]

If there's a 1-year bowl ban, tOSU should just back out of the Gator Bowl right now, and say, "OK we've accepted our bowl ban".

I like this approach.

 

[Merih]

Just screw it all. What a year.

The taking extra benefits WHILE UNDER NCAA INVESTIGATION is what put it over the top. That doesn't happen then there's no bowl ban.

 

[BB73]

There is an appeal process is there not?

There is an option to appeal, but Gene Smith already said that tOSU would accept the decision. It will be interesting to see if that changes.

2010 - vacated
2011 - decimated by suspensions
2012 - ruined with a postseason ban

Really, NCAA, was it necessary to give tOSU a third screwed up season for this stuff?

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

You don't think the NCAA would've tacked another year on? Really?

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Very unfair to the remaining players, new staff and players coming in....It makes no sense to punish them for what others did....

I almost think the NCAA does this on purpose to emphasize that they are punishing the program, not the players.

Fuck this noise.

Please tell me you people suggesting that OSU back out of the Gator Bowl don't really believe that is a viable option...

Tough blow for next year's seniors...

I wouldn't trust anything Gene Smith says.

And whatever he says is probably 80 percent wrong to begin with.

Back out of the Gator Bowl this year, tell the NCAA we're taking the bowl ban this year. If they bitch and moan about it, firebomb their offices.

I'm hoping after the initial sting wears off, people will back off this idea. This would make us look petty as shit.

Correct.

That could make sense if we got LOIC. But considering that next year everyone involved will be gone from the program, it's bullshit.

 

[lowkarma]

Screw the contracts, back out, take whatever monetary penalty there is. The NCAA would never accept it because it would screw over Florida.

Use it as a bargaining chip.

If that doesn't work: firebomb their offices.

I'm sold on your "plan b".

I am not sold on plan b..... now if it was plan a i would be all in but as b... where are you peoples priorities?

 

[Buckeye Maniac]

I disagree. Firebombing organizations we don't like is a very upstanding thing to do.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Correct.

I suppose you also didn't think they were going to slap additional scholarship reductions...

 

[Bestbuck36]

Could the BOT appeal and fire Gene Smith prior to the meeting? I'm all for that!!
