That bowl ban would be the Athletic Department's fault, Failure to Monitor is on the dept, not on the players.Glassy;1035497 wrote:Did they? Too bad the program and players to come that werent involved will also serve the punishment for what they did.
And you thnk it was sufficient enough for what OSU and the rest of the program has to suffer for next year and beyond? I don't. For Fickell to start them right when they came back, was bad enough. Sent a terrible message to the rest of the team. Anyway, thats all said and done and the results of their transgressions were a 6-7 season.LJ;1035494 wrote:they served their punishment.

I believe their punishments were sufficient. They were not the ones who lied to the NCAA or couldn't monitor their program.centralbucksfan;1035507 wrote:And you thnk it was sufficient enough for what OSU and the rest of the program has to suffer for next year and beyond?

Bullshit. Its impossible to follow 100 players around 24/7. These guys were seniors to be. OSU got hammered last year, and they still went this past summer and took money for no work. Stop with the excuses. You cannot monitor players. The AD made mistakes. But the players ultimately made the decisions.LJ;1035506 wrote:That bowl ban would be the Athletic Department's fault, Failure to Monitor is on the dept, not on the players.
Punishments you can have your opinion on. To put the blame on OSU is ridiculous. Excuses. Especially after them taking money for nothing while the NCAA was sniffing around!LJ;1035512 wrote:I believe their punishments were sufficient.

Uh, you have to monitor the player's jobs and income, especially when they work for a booster. Don't give me that lame ass "it's the compliance dept's job to monitor these kids and their interactions with boosters, but they can't monitor all these kids!!!"centralbucksfan;1035513 wrote:Bullshit.

smh, nevermind, he was in the game and playing better than the others. Of course you'll continue to be "that guy" so go ahead.jordo212000;1035510 wrote:Just like Herron shouldn't have been getting more burn once he returned during the season. Others were more productive with the ball in their hands and didn't repeatedly break NCAA rules

Without their actions, nobody was put in that position in the first place.LJ;1035512 wrote:I believe their punishments were sufficient. They were not the ones who lied to the NCAA or couldn't monitor their program.

You are the one who is putting blame for the compliance dept's **** up and Tressel's **** up on Boom and Posey. They served their punishment and if the school had done their job, nothing else would have come of it. Plain and simple.
You have no idea how these guys reacted to their actions in the locker roomGlassy;1035534 wrote:
They threw gas on the fire and laughed about it.
So you are the one pointing the finger at the players for Tressel's and the compliance department's actions. Good job for being a hypocrite.centralbucksfan;1035538 wrote:U must be young. Pointing the finger at others when the ultimate responsibility lies within the individuals who CHOSE to do what they did. Period.
