Ohio State football gets one-year bowl ban; Tressel hit with 5-year "show cause"

Considered digging up one of the 50 old threads, but figured I'd start a new one.

Any guesses what they'll get?

No Rose Bowl this year. The NCAA is realy cracking down.

Seriously, if they don't get mazjor sanctions, a la SC, there is no justice.

 

Re: Ohio State football sanctions to be announced at 3 p.m. EST

They did fire their coach and suspend players, though, thereby ruining the 2011 season, and the NCAA do like its acts of contrition. I don't think they'll get anything near what USC got by remaining defiant to the end.

What Ohio State did is nothing even close to what USC did.

They'll get Urban Meyer.

 

Re: Ohio State football sanctions to be announced at 3 p.m. EST

Agreed. The NCAA brought the hammer down on USC because they set up obstacles every step of the way during the investigation and didn't show the proper contrition. They were punished for the hubris and ego of Mike Garrett, Pete Carroll, Reggie Bush and others. Ohio State has played the role of the eight-year-old who was caught with his hand in the cookie jar and feels really bad about it. The hand slapping they receive will be similar to that kid.

Book, book, book!

 

Re: Ohio State football sanctions to be announced at 3 p.m. EST

The NCAA had Reggie Bush on tape admitting he took hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Auburn deserves USC-level sanctions. Ohio State deserves a slap on the wrist given the self-imposed sanctions/suspensions that it already handed down itself.

Shit, remember the penalties that affected last season's Sugar Bowl?

 

Re: Ohio State football sanctions to be announced at 3 p.m. EST

Any chance they slap some sort of one to two year "show-cause" penalty on the Sweater Vest to make an "example" out of him without really hurting the school? (Moved to the right thread.)

 

Re: Ohio State football sanctions to be announced at 3 p.m. EST

So, Tressell withholding information from the NCAA is cooperating? Contrition is suspending players, several of whom were not planning to return, and letting ineligible players compete in a BCS bowl?
What bowls will OSU miss for a pattern of widespread cheating?

Sorry, but any punishment without a postseason ban is insufficient.

If there is a postseason ban, it should start with the Gator Bowl.
