Too big to fail: OSU to get off easy.
What a surprise. The NCAA is all about the $$$. Win and fill the coffers and everything is just fine. What a travesty. Now, the SEC can get away with even more. http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/29504/ncaa-outlook-much-rosier-for-ohio-state

1. Unbelievable
'Unacceptable' personnel reviews dating back to when and they still say there was no lack of institutional control? Incredible.

3. What the Fuck Condem??? Not one word about the SEC!
OSU is in the motherfucking second rate Big 10 or whatever it's called this week.

Damn can't catch a break.

4. The SEC media daze were quite interesting, era. To say the least.
Within five years, the SEC will expand by at least two more. A&M and Oklahoma. This Longhorn Network has just about pushed them over the edge.
I can't blame them. Putting up with Texas' pompous bullshit year after year led to the Husker's leaving. Could be even sooner. No pun intended.

9. I had customers from Columbus in all weekend for
Coach Cal's B ball camp. They were all pretty devastated about the turn of events in what used to be a straight program. Woody Hayes had values like him or not. What Tressel did to a great program was stupid, selfish, and so not necessary. If you can't recruit quality players to OSU you have no business in college football. Good luck on the rebuild, we are in the middle of a 60 year rebuilding program. I can't wait for kickoff.

But I'm not really counting.

5. Just like Auburn the NCAA kisses ass
Because apparently it is far worse for coaches to give students rides or buy them Pizzas which is what got Maryland 4 year bans. I guess getting money to play for the SEC is fine and selling stuff for profit is okay. And the fact that Gee says he "didn't know" shows there is institutional control. Fuck those hypocritical NCAA bastards, they only punish schools that aren't high profile. If Maryland did half of what OSU or Auburn did, they'd get the death penalty. What a joke.

11. To be the man, you have to beat the man.
The Big Ten needs TOSU at their best. I wouldn't want to play you fuckers any other way.
