Paper: One-year OSU post-season ban, four more schollies, show-cause to Tressel

Good. I would've liked to seen more penalties, but at least it wasn't just a slap on the wrist.

Whar fufred?

...So even though Wisco is taking a step back, they'll likely make the B1G Championship game again by default... that blows.
 
This is why I said OSU should've self imposed a ban this year unless they were sure they weren't getting one. This has to be the last nail in AD Gene Smith's coffin. The scholarship losses aren't bad at all but the bowl ban is troubling when they should have taken it this year.
 
Oh, so ESPN is the only site that is "official" now? I'd say that the Columbus Dispatch is pretty reputable..

Did you read the article?
Athletic director Gene Smith confirmed to The Associated Press early Tuesday that the NCAA's committee on infractions would hand down its final sanctions of the Ohio State athletic program at 3 p.m. ET.

That leads me to believe he doesn't even know what they are yet? Maybe not?

I thought you said it was rather obvious nothing more was going to happen?

I read the article from the Columbus Dispatch and I would imagine that they're pretty close to the situation with being in Columbus and all. Idk why they would come out with this breaking news if it wasn't confirmed. Maybe ESPN just dropped the ball..

Wow, I actually agree with something Fufred posted. First time for everything
 
What I said is that its obvious OSU didn't think they were getting a bowl ban or they would have self imposed one this year....
 
I wasn't the one insinuating that ESPN is the only "official" source out there. I was stating how the Columbus Dispatch is reputable and that I'd take their word for it.

My mistake. I was directing the post at SuperFan12 who was waiting for ESPN. Grabbed the wrong post. Apologies.

Oh, I get it. You act like everyone here are idiots because they thought something more was going to happen. And then, when it does, you act like you were only agreeing with what OSU was doing (because they had all the info, right?) and never had any actual opinion of it yourself.

Right. Sure, buddy.

That's is actually pretty much it...
