thedynasty1998;703193 wrote:LOIC has to do with the whole program, I understand that. I don't know exactly what happened, but I'll go through and list things that could potentially be issues:

* A procedure is established for timely communication among various university offices regarding determinations that affect compliance with NCAA rules.
* Informational and educational programs are established to inform athletics boosters of the limitations on their activities under NCAA rules and of the penalties that can arise if they are responsible for rule violations.
* An internal monitoring system is in place to ensure compliance with NCAA rules.
* An external audit of athletics compliance is undertaken at reasonable intervals.
* The chief executive officer and other senior administrators make clear that they demand compliance with NCAA rules and that they will not tolerate those who deliberately violate the rules or do so through gross negligence.

If Tressel was aware back when Yahoo states, that is point #1.

If the tattoo parlor owner is considered a booster (I don't know if he was), that's #2.

I think #3 and #4 would result from any major violation.

If the NCAA has a problem with not only the tattoos, but also factors in Troy Smith and Clarett, then the last point could be reasonable.

The only things I've claimed are Martin played at OSU in '09 and that you're an idiot, both of which are truths.

lhslep134;703239 wrote:#1 is the only thing broken (if true of course)
#2: He wasn't a true booster in the sense of the word (openly contributing money to the university), and if he was, I'm sure that he was well versed by OSU on the rules, even if he chose to ignore them. So OSU is fine here
#3 is completed by the compliance office so they're fine there
#4 I'm sure the compliance office takes care of as well
#5 I'm pretty sure OSU has made it aware that they demand compliance.


So once again, SHOCKER, you're wrong. If anyone is in trouble here, it would be Tressel, not the program.

I think that is why they are taking their time, because if there is evidence they don't want to come out right away denying it. They just need to do their due diligence and check it out.
