Whether it's any kind of violation (no matter how big or small), losing consecutive national titles, or simply just playing in the Big Ten, OSU takes a beating from the national media. OSU is definitely one of the most magnified programs in college football.

I tend to read Yahoo columnists very often and found those two to both be very good reads (Robinson's a pure CFB guy, while Wetzel is a general sports columnist). I was surprised and disappointed to see their names attached to an allegation article that delivered no "proof" beyond some "a guy told Tressel about this before the school admitted knowledge" story with no name attached. This is a big allegation concerning the head coach of one of the top programs in the country...you just don't say "we heard this" without providing concrete evidence.

The NCAA literally lived at Ohio State for several months.
Please find me ANY evidence that any of those schools endured anything even remotely close to that kind of investigation. Not to mention the NY Times and ESPN spending months each looking into the allegations of wrong doing.
You just threw a bunch of shit out there without one shred of evidence to back it up -- much like the Yahoo story at this point.

Is it a coincidence that the men's BB team just finished the season on a high note spanking the shit out of Wisconsin on the national stage.....yesterday?

What? this un-named sourced story couldn't have run months ago? Please...give me a break

I'm not quite that big into the conspiracies against OSU.
I won't be worried about this until there is evidence presented that warrants me to be worried.

The federal government is pleading down a guy in a tattoo parlor so the NCAA can stick it to Jim Tressel and Ohio State...
It certainly wouldn't be one of the players making a deal... what they did was only wrong to the NCAA, not something the Federal government would worry about.

Fab4Runner;703081 wrote:I think I'll wait for more proof than the word of an anonymous source. Anyone remember that whole innocent until proven guilty thing? Sure, were not in a court of law, but I see no reason to believe this story until there's actual solid proof. Ohio State went through an NCAA investigation and was punished for the rules they broke. To me that's reason enough to stand behind Tressel and the rest of the organization until evidence suggesting otherwise comes out.
