good question. I have no clue but I'd guess that ND would replace OSU on the schedule somehow.

When the NCAA previously handed out TV bans, it was no televised games anywhere for any reason. Don't think it has happened since the mid-90s, but I don't recall a TV contract ever getting a school off the hook on a TV ban. I would guess that they'd have to work out any financial issues (like the network not wanting to pay full price) with the network or in your case, as lotz said, find another opponent.

I don't buy any of the talk about OSU getting a TV ban and really don't believe the NCAA will go back to that as a common punishment because there are too many other schools that suffer as a result.

TV bans were only prevelant when teams were on tv 2-3 times per year. I can remember OSU games being local broadcast only or radio only as a kid.

This. They basically haven't handed out a TV ban since games went to cable/national broadcast for a reason. Too much money involved as well as all of the contracts.

UCS had like 75 NCAA infractions, Ohio State has like 15.

Some of you need to realize that Ohio State may get what USC got and maybe worse

USC had like 75 NCAA infractions, Ohio State around 15.
