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

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

Wrong.

So now, the question needs to be asked by every college;

"What is gained by helping the NCAA?"

Your departing Director of Athletics will have an easier time getting a job with said organization.

If this bowl ban seals Gene Smith's fate, it might actually be worth it in the long run.

If there's a lesson to be learned here it's that The Ohio State University should never, never accept a trip to the fucking Gator Bowl.

Those that pushed this over the top aren't gone, namely the players who accepted money at the charity event and the overpaid summer jobs.

Many heads will roll for this.

It is fitting that it ended this way. Sad, but par for the course.

Now you can fire Gene Smith.

The NCAA can go fuck themselves for this. They knew what they were going to do a long time ago. And they just wanted to stick it in a little tighter.

This is not USC! We cooperated! All of the individuals involved were punished!

Fuck the NCAA. No more cooperation ever. Let's add two more people to the compliance department and tell them whatever they find fucking sit on it. It doesn't matter if you report. Hide. Obstruct. Piss on the NCAA.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

A small, paranoid part of me almost thinks that the NCAA looked at OSU coming out of this with Meyer as the coach and said, "Fuck that, they don't get to benefit from this situation, we need to hit them harder".

I also wonder if, based on him telling recruits no bowl ban was coming, that Meyer was misled before he took the job.

 

[CHU]

If this bowl ban seals Gene Smith's fate, it might actually be worth it in the long run.

That ship has sailed.

If you're Urban Meyer, you want to work for this guy? Forget Jeremy Foley being demanding, at least Foley can do his job.

 

[Bucknut24]

I am beyond livid right now

 

[TooTall]

Who do we look at AD if/when Gene is canned?

 

[Saw31]

Time to get on the horn and schedule an end of season game with Hawaii. Call it the "Fuck off NCAA Bowl"...

 

[CHU]

Gene Smith = Gone
Doug Archie = Gone
Entire Compliance Department = Reorganized within the university

Future self-reporting = ZERO

Wouldn't self-report a GD thing. It works for the SEC.

 

[MaxBuck]

Very disappointing that tOSU is still a member of this corrupt and self-important organization. Mark Emmert can go fuck himself with a Garden Weasel.

Lesson learned... Don't cooperate with the NCAA...Make them actually DO their job and search for findings. Plain and simple. As '513 said (i believe) "now we just tell them to get off our lawn"

Sorry, but I disagree with that. Cooperating with the ncaa is not about a cynical attempt at damage control and minimizing repercussions. It's about who Ohio State is as an institution and a university. It may not have helped us regarding penalties (then again neither did our ad with all his inside contacts), but it was the right thing to do.

To take your path is to take the first step down the SEC highway.
