my take on the idea that we should have self imposed a ban this season:

A lot of people are saying that it was stupid to accept a bowl bid this year for a 6-6 team. In my IMHO us not accepting the Gator Bowl bid a couple weeks ago would not have changed the ruling banning us next year. However, I think what would have satisfied the NCAA was a self imposed bowl ban back when the cash envelopes from Bobby D was first discovered early in the season.

You announce the ban before conference play when the season result is still in doubt. It is pointless to ban yourself from a mediocre bowl after you already lost 6 games, but to take yourself out of contention for a bowl early in the season when there is still a possibility of going to the Cap One or Outback bowl actually shows you are taking this stuff seriously.

The Tat five could play in last year's bowl game -- and in this year's bowl game -- because the bowl games aren't ruled by the NCAA, but Ohio State can't drop this year's bowl game... because why???? And they can't go to next year's bowl game because the NCAA doesn't own the games, but they own who the BCS can pick.

If that isn't the most convoluted piece of puzzle making... you don't punish the players because they can make the NCAA money in 2011 by playing in a BCS game... and then you take the money the school made by using players that the BCS wanted to play in their game... you allow those players access to a few games and when the school qualifies for another bowl game -- which by all rights they shouldn't have accepted to play in given their overall record -- you
allow them to go ahead and play... and then take away more bowl money from the school?... and you tell the school that next year counts during the regular season because they can make you money off your TV contract, but they can't play in a bowl game because they'd be making money for the BCS and the school...

It's all very logical.

Curious as to how this effects practice for the team, and its impact on the program. I know at my highschool that normally makes a 3-4 week run atleast each fall that the coaches think its some of the best practice time of the year not only for that year but getting players ready for the following year. With the Bowl ban next year, won't the team lose out on over a month of practice?

Unless they do go undefeated, might the lack of practice time actually be more harmful to the team then the lack of an extra game? (If I'm incorrect about the rules for college practice rules ignore the post.) If I'm right, can somebody thats closer to college football coaches then I ever have been.... give me some insight to what they think of the benefit of Bowl game practice?

I did hear someone on air this morning discussing this, and yes, they said it does indeed cost the team. Those extra practices are very useful, serving not just as obvious preparation for the bowl game, but also as preparation for the team for their next season.

I just can't get indignant over punishment handed out over a rule "we" (or our institutions duly appointed leader) intentionally broke.

None of this shit happens if Tressel doesn't lie to the NCAA. Period. That's where the wailing and gnashing of teeth should be directed. Not the NCAA.

The fact that rules were broken is totally irrelevent with the point he was making. There's absolutely no fucking reason whatsoever that the NCAA could not have made their decision three weeks earlier...none. The problem is that the NCAA literally has no one to whom they have to answer. Fuck them.

Once the bowl game is out of the way, then the Urban Meyer era can truly begin.

One possible 'positive' aspect of the bowl ban next year. Some raw freshmen who could benefit from a redshirt year may decide to redshirt, since they won't be giving up a trip to Arizona or New Orleans...

This is the shizzle of being a big time program. I noticed the Iowa running back, Coker, was suspended yesterday, and will miss the bowl game.

The Yale coach resigned for lying to ('misleading') the school about being a Rhodes scholar.

Had either of these things happend to the Buckeyes, it would be big news all over the internet and the airwaves. But it's Iowa and Yale so, ehh, not so big news.

Let's just focus on basketball for awhile (although according to Ann Arbor sack licking radio, the basketball program must be cheating to be so good).

On January 2nd, I'll switch back to OSU football for a day, and then forget about it until the spring game.

Definitely, I will be back for the spring game this year!

Just a comment on earlier posts regarding a firebombing of NCAA HQ.

Firebombing is against the law.

Further, if anyone were to be killed it would also violate NCAA Bylaws. This would in turn violate our probation and lead to further sanctions.

Bottom line - wear USC Jerseys.

So with the other shoe dropped so to speak... is this it? NCAA done with tOSU or do they have some other unfinished excitement lying in wait? I honestly just can't wait until August... again.

There isn't anything else on the docket and Ohio State has already said it won't appeal (like USC).

Now the NCAA can move onto looking strong against a basketball school, a school w/o its own stadium (and draws nothing in that stadium) and then do nothing to Nike's flagship school.

Agreed. Time to lock it up, never to be seen again.
