The school has zero right to a student's personl bank account...none.

I am not saying its right or wrong, but uh yes, yes they do. Like I said its one of the things you consent to let them do to be a scholarship athlete. However don't take my word for it, this is taken directly from Dan Wetzel's article on Yahoo.

"While it may be Gestapo-esque, Ohio State always had the ability to access Pryor?s bank records. That?s one of many rights student-athletes are forced to give up in exchange for a scholarship and it?s how the NCAA could get them during its current investigation into the program.
?At the beginning of each school year student athletes sign a statement that gives consent for that information to the school,? said NCAA spokesperson Stacey Osburn, who would only confirm there is an ongoing investigation at OSU."

I'll disagree partially, in that I don't think monitoring of student-athletes' bank accounts is routine. There's also no guarantee that Pryor gave the athletic department any information regarding the account in which he's alleged to have deposited Talbott checks. I understand he's supposed to do so, but he seems to have ignored other rules, so ...

I agree it wouldn't be routine to check such things, but it goes back to Tressel's decision to not follow up on the email tip he received in April 2010. Doing nothing was a terrible decision no matter many ways some people (not necessarily you, Max) try to spin it as looking out for the players, etc..

Had he forwarded the info to the compliance department, as he should have, it is likely their investigation would've included looking at things like deposits to the named players' bank accounts.

No. I just want to wake up from this nightmare on the day the sanctions get handed down. I don't want the university to appeal so it can just be over on that day.

Me too, but I've grown totally numb to the whole thing. I hear more shit's coming out and it doesn't impact me in the least. I expect it at this point.

Allow me to refute myself: No Discrepancy On Timeline

But the commissioner told ESPN.com on Thursday that Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith informed him of the violations after the school had discovered them following an open records request. Delany can't recall the exact date Smith called to inform him.

"I'm positive that [Ohio State] learned about it in the middle of January," Delany told ESPN.com. "I don't know if they reported it [to the NCAA] on Jan. 28 or Feb. 3. I know they reported it to me before they reported it to the NCAA, but I couldn't tell you if that was Jan. 22, [Jan.] 28 or Feb. 2."

Smith said at a March 8 news conference that he informed Delany on Feb. 2 before informing the NCAA the next day. Ohio State said it discovered the Tressel emails Jan. 13 and interviewed the coach Jan. 16.

"I sort of adopted their discovery date as my date of notification, but it could have been 10 days later, it could have been two weeks later," Delany said. "I know the sequence was they found out about it after the [Sugar Bowl], I think it was mid-January. They found out about it through a [Freedom of Information Act] request. ... They turned it in within two or three business weeks of their discovery, and they reported it to me closer to the time they turned it in [to the NCAA].
