Interesting to see how that will play out, but I doubt the NCAA removes any sanctions that OSU has already self imposed.dlazz;1021690 wrote:Sources are telling me that the NCAA will issue an official apology to OSU for overreacting and no sanctions will be levied.

Yeah, thats pretty much how I feel.ytownfootball;1021662 wrote:Frankly, all the more reason he should be gone.
Well no shit. But that is the reason that he isn't gone yet. No doubt he is fired when everything is over, but there was probably no one in the country better suited to handle this whole mess from an NCAA liason standpoint than Smith.Automatik;1021752 wrote:Yeah, thats pretty much how I feel.
Ok, so he's the most "in the know AD?" Well being so knowledgeable and connected don't you think he should have to take SOME heat for this??
I don't give a shit what he knows. This "mess" occurred under his watch. He should be held accountable and suffer the consequences.
Yeah, I see your point now. Do you really think he'll be gone after its all said and done? I'm thinking he's in the clear.LJ;1021759 wrote:Well no shit. But that is the reason that he isn't gone yet.

My response was to why is he still here. There is a completely logical and acceptable reason as to why he is still the AD at this time. There is not once all of this is done.
I think he is bought out at some point during this year. Probably after the school year ends but before the fiscal year ends. So sometime in May-JuneAutomatik;1021765 wrote:Yeah, I see your point now. Do you really think he'll be gone after its all said and done? I'm thinking he's in the clear.

Bad news, for walk-ons. OSU played I think 6 short of the allowable schollie total this year. It will have little to no bearing on the on-field product.OneBuckeye;1021897 wrote:Jeff Rapp @RappUp
Not hearing postseason ban for #OhioState. They are most likely going to extend the scholarship reduction to 10 over three years (4, 3, 3).

bowl ban doh.* Strip four more football scholarships over the next three years on top of Ohio State’s prior forfeiture of five scholarships over that span.
* Add an additional year of probation to OSU’s self-imposed two-year probation for the football program, meaning any violations through the 2013 season could draw harsher-than-normal penalties.
The NCAA also will hand a show-cause penalty to former head coach Jim Tressel for failing to report that some team members improperly sold memorabilia and for allowing ineligible players to compete throughout the 2010 season.
