    looks like Ohio State's self-imposed penalties didn't measure up to the NCAA viewpoint. OSU offered-up 5 schollies over a 3 year period, and a 2 year Probation.

    NCAA added 4 additional scholarship losses (9 total over 3 years) , a 3-Year Probation period, and a 1-Year Bowl Ban next season.

    Additionally, they slapped Tressel with a 5-Year Show Cause, effectively blacklisting him from the college coaching profession for his role in covering-up the Buckeyes scandal.

    Ohio State saying they won't appeal.

    First time I can remember a program getting a Bowl Ban without being charged with LOIC. OSU's juniors will be eligible to transfer immediately without having to sit out the 1-year mandatory waiting period.

    Was USC charged with LOIC? They had to sit out the post season this year.

    absolutely. Remember, USC also had major violations in basketball in addition to the Reggie Bush mess.

    Couldn't happen to a nicer university or head coach (Urban Meyer).

    Slime ball takes over for a slime ball.

    Still have no clue why OSU didn't self impose the bowl ban to this year.

    It's complete horse sh*t they didn't get slapped with LOIC. If their documented history doesn't meet the definition, then nothing does.

    It was a most corrupt program over the entire tenure of Tressel's at tOSU. It started with Maurice Clarett and everybody thinking it had nothing to do with the honorable Jim Tressel back then. Little did we know what trash he was.

    Those sweater vests were no mistake, what better way to break the rules than do it while dressed like Mr.Rogers.
