There are kids on next years team that are/were a part of this mess...EDDIE GGGG27;2068645; said:Posey,Boom,Thomas,Adams all get to play in a bowl game while kids that never committed a violation have to sit out next years postseason???? [censored] the NCAA and burn this thread to the [censored]ing ground.

tOSU got nailed with the bowl ban because of the Bobby DeGeronimo stuff, which was Failure to Monitor a booster than had known compliance issues in the past. That, along with the repeat violator status, is what did it. The blame for those things falls on Gene Smith and on Doug Archie, and they should both pay the price by losing their jobs. Having the bowl ban affect the 2012 season, instead of 2011, is the clincher for Gene Smith's status.
I agree, it's stupid, but it's not like the '11 Seniors are the only violators. That it happened during an ongoing investigation doesn't help matters. Rules are rules. Plain and simple.gnepmatt;2068652; said:Bowl Ban for going to a Breast Cancer Awareness event and getting compensated for going!! Wooh. [censored] the NCAA.

Not really articulating that all that well - what I mean to say is - there are ways, are there not, to signing 25 kids, and still reducing your scholarships, no? Another way might be - if you know Taylor Graham is transferring, you just don't fill his spot. Or... if you have some running back who's not thrilled with the depth chart and bails, ya don't fill the scholarship but it doesn't mean you can't offer the 25 to prospective incoming recruits, right?
Did any of that make sense (I'm not asking you, Bucky!)

BB73;2068682; said:Also, prepaid cell phones for all players and coaches, so numbers and whereabouts can't be tracked. And any booster should use cash, never a check. And wear gloves when giving the $100 handshakes, so no fingerprints are on the money.
And can the University do something legally, similar to the BS that Penn State invokes, in order to not be treated as a state institution and be thus be exempt from FOIA requests?
Ohio State sucks at cheating. :tongue2:
