  • Ohio State fans will mostly say this is more than enough. The majority of other teams fans will say it's not close to enough.

    At the end of the day, it really doesn't change the situation.

  • I wonder if the NCAA is going to stand up and punish them accordingly or if this is gonna be another slap on the wrist type deal.

  • On a serious note:

    This pretty much HAD to be done by OSU. As far as im concerned: it's just another way OSU is tryin to wiggle away from a bigger hammer of NCAA sanctions.

    2010 was guaranteed to have to be vacated after the "tat-5" played while the vest knew about it, no? It's quite possible that Pryors whole stay at OSU will have to be vacated before long. If OSU is lucky- the NCAA wont find anything to take away every win that the Vest ever got there.

    For any OSU fans that Still somehow think this whole thing is just going to "go away" ...I think your sorely mistaken.

  • In the end it just changes things in the stat books. I saw them win those games, even though cheated to obtain them.

    LOL....nothing more hilarious than the desperate m*chigan fan hoping OSU gets blasted (and for the record, i'm not saying we will or won't get blasted. Both are possibilities in my eyes, but i find it funny when m*chigan fans seem like they go to bed every night and pray for osu to get blasted).

    I honestly dont want OSU blasted. I want to beat them on our own merits. I was just speaking in my own opinion. But you can think what you want to.

    I just think it's funny that there are OSU fans out there, that STILL think this is all going to blow over. That was my main point in posting that.

    I think you guys will get close to what USC got. Even tho your situation involved more players then USC got caught with.

    Is the full investigation even finished in Columbus yet??

    There's ZERO doubt that Pryor was MVP of the game also! Even OSU fans can agree with that!

  • My favorite part is they wave Tressel's fine and pay him instead. I'd love to F up this bad and get paid for it.

    My bad man. Sorry about putting you in that category of m*chigan fans.

    but just out of curiousity, what makes you so sure we get leveled like USC? Besides the media doing a smear campaign, is there anything in the NOA that would suggest we get USC like punishments? I understand that more can be added if proven allegations arise (i.e. NOT the "Cargate" thing since it has been disproven), but based off what the NCAA has asked OSU to respond to, there is really nothing to suggest AT THIS POINT (key words) that OSU will get blasted.

    Also, if you think OSU is gonna get USC like punishment, what do you think UNC gets?...death penalty? There NOA was 26 pages, ours was 8. Ours didn't include coaches steering players towards agents and academic fraud (2 of the biggest no-no's).

    Anybody can answer this, cause i'm just curious. I know a lot of people WANT osu to get blasted, but is there a factual basis behind USC like punishment at this point?

    I always find this take interesting. Do you believe they only won on the field because they cheated? Did their tattoos help them gain more yards? Did that signed pair of gold pants they gave away make a tackle?

    Breaking the rules is breaking the rules. But unless they paid the refs, allowed 27 year old men to pose as college players, or put exlax in the oppositions Gatorade, their rule breaking didn't actually help them beat anyone on the field. They still had to line up and play football. It didn't matter which of Pryor's 8 cars he drove that day, he still had to play the game just like everyone else.

    Also, someone alert Devidee that his team gave up the Sugar Bowl, something he assured would never happen.

  • Davidee says that this puts OSU in a good position for the class of 2011. Supposedly, all the studs from that class are getting their releases from their schools and are heading to the Buckeyes. The reason being that these vacated wins will have no effect on them and will absolutely make the NCAA not place any sanctions on OSU. Oh happy day in Columbus!! biggrin

  • In plenty of cases the NCAA expects a 2 for 1 penalty with respect to what violations had occurred. You can look at Michigan as an example; they cut twice the amount of practice time that the NCAA had determined they had gone over.

    Because OSU played 6 players (Tat-5 plus a new one) for an entire season that were known by Tressel to be ineligible, I think the NCAA will reduce the scholarships for OSU by 10-15 over the course of the next 3 years.

    OSU is hoping to avoid a bowl ban by forfeiting the Sugar Bowl. I think it is 50/50 whether or not that is going to work.

    It's not that the tattoos, cars, whatever else helped them win, it's that the players who received extra benefits should have never been on the field to begin with.
