Not sure how this guy would know, but Sports by Brooks put out a tweet saying that he's hearing Delany will push to the NCAA OSU losing non-conference games as a way around a possible tv ban. Maybe a way to punish OSU without hurting the rest of the conference?

It might be a decent middle ground, though. I don't think there will be another TV ban, but this would reduce OSU's TV exposure (not to mention their income), and still not penalize the rest of the Big Ten.

The only other way I can think of to not penalize the fans of the other schools is to find a way to televise the game in just that school's state. So we would see a game with OSU (I know we don't play them, just an example) on local broadcast (or a BTN special broadcast that can only be seen in Iowa), and that's it. No TV in Ohio, or any other state except for the home state of their opponent. But that would be much more difficult to implement, I would think.

What about the teams osu will play? Those teams will miss a big gate, so in effect, the would punishing the teams that osu was supposed to play.

A 2 or 3 year TV ban would be best!
 
I don't think that anyone should be punished except OSU. I would hate to see some directional school lose a big payout because OSU cheats.

How about scholarship losses? :)

The NCAA will never do a tv ban again IMO.

I disagree. The NCAA will never give out the death penalty again, but they will certainly hand down another TV ban.

TV is the driver of the bus in college football....taking away a team's ability to be on TV really hits them where it hurts. I would not be surprised if the NCAA tried to take OSU off of TV for a year or two.
 
I understand your logic, but what about Iowa fans that live out of state? I think this would be too hard to implement, and you'd have some very angry people in states outside of Iowa

Did you not just read what Jim Said? He does not want TV games banned, because it would hurt the conference. 2-3 years, every game OSU played not on TV? That includes any game against, Iowa, nebraska, michigan, msu, psu, minny, wiscy, northwestern, indiana, illinois, or purdue.

If you didnt notice IOWA was in that list. TV ban would hurt Iowa too, if a game was scheduled against OSU and it was not televised. Not to mention the long term affects by marque games in the b1g not being on TV? You think its a high number of HS players and media outlets slobbing over the SEC now, just imagine what a 2-3 year ban on ALL OSU tv games would do.

Yes but how does OSU not playing during the suspension of their players, even come remotely close to a punishment?

You're still punishing the whole team and university by missing out on revenue during the pre big ten season. The smaller schools still may be able to pull a game out of their a** by playing a lesser division school, but the b1G as a whole does not want to lose out on that TV revenue. I mean No Nebraska vs osu, no Mich Vs osu, no MSU vs OSU, no Wisconsin vs OSU and no PSU vs OSU. IF you dont have those games on tv then you will be punishing the conference.

Think of it this way. This years Miami heat help set high basketball ratings, not because of a large and loyal fan base, but because everyone wanted to watch them fail.

That is whats going to happen with OSU this year. Everyone is going to tune in to hope that they lose.
 
Oh and if you feel sorry for the teams that play OOC against OSU. Have them play each other and problem solved. Just pick a random weekend. Miami and Colorado are really the only teams anyone cares about.
 
Why doesnt the NCAA just make OSU pay the OOC teams they were supposed to play and lose the OOC games. Or they could have a "home game ban" where they have to play everyone on the road. Other teams would still make money and OSU would make much less.

Are you serious? Sorry but I find this entire post humorous and don't know where to start so I'll just leave it alone.
