I would assume they would be given the go ahead to leave and not be required to sit out a year.
I would also imagine that we look like a fairly nice destination for those players. I’m just not sure if any of their seniors fill any of the holes we may have this year.

It doesn’t look like this was included in the sanctions….maybe that was seen as too severe considering osu only had multiple players taking benefits from boosters, etc. so they would come and stay in school….it’s not like they had one player taking things from people pushing him to the nfl, which is clearly a bigger deal.
I don't think it needed to be added to the decision
I believe it’s part of the bylaws.

Not sure
when the bowl ban was handed down to USC, it was the JRs who left not the SRs. OSU is only getting a one year ban, only their SRs would be eligible. Can’t see many of them leaving just for a chance at a bowl, not when they are that close to graduating.

As far as your poll goes, both of the first two?
For what was actually done, the penalties are reasonable… except when compared to what you guys got.
SMH
I’m surprised the NCAA even issued a bowl ban considering the weasels in Columbus. It’s a shame tOSU wasn’t held to the precedent set by the USC sanctions.
Using the same math, tOSU should have received a 10 year bowl ban, 150 lost scholarships over 15 years, and 20 years probation. An eye for an eye…

In other news, the NCAA is so upset with tOSU, the COI will be adding another year of scholarship reductions to USC.

No comment from this thread will be deleted. You will have to own them when we get it turned around and beat Southern Cal. You will never ride the bandwagon when we come back. Not on BN. GO BRUINS.

It would have been worse if the main offender testified to the NCAA
Thats a big difference…Lake wanted to hurt Reggie and USC the tOSU guy was going down with the ship.
Just like in the SEC.
Lake and Michaels wanted to be big shots, sit at the big boys table.
The tOSU guy wanted COMPLETE anonymity…different culture outside of the ritz and and glitz (Los Angeles and Miami)

You know what. . . . .?
Fuck. It!
In a weird, twisted way- you gotta love how Smith and Gee greased the NCAA’s chain and worked their asses off to limit the scope and frame the perspective in the allegations against them. What’s difficult to swallow is the dereliction of duty and diligence in determining actual allegations against tOSU. The people that worked for them (head coach and compliance), their student-athletes, alumni and boosters flaunted NCAA rules and bylaws to the point of comedy and yet- THIS! These sanctions aren’t entirely surprising, it’s the shamelessness of the NCAA and tOSU’s AD that stupefies me.
Infuckingcredible!
