发帖数: 3119 | 1 So Ohio State wants to vacate some wins. Well, isn't that special.
The Buckeyes just don't get it. They never have.
Ever since the school learned nine months after the fact that Ohio State
coach Jim Tressel received an email about potential NCAA violations back in
April 2010, the school has stumbled and bumbled every step of the way.
If the Buckeyes were this inept on the field, they never would have won the
past six Big Ten Conference titles. Oh wait, that last title will be vacated
. Big freakin' deal. Correction: It's only five Big Ten titles in the past
six years.
The Columbus Dispatch reported Friday that Ohio State is "embarrassed" and
recommended to the NCAA that it vacate all of its wins from 2010 and that it
doesn't deserve any further punishment.
Embarrassed? Ohio State was so "embarrassed" by the findings that Tressel
lied and covered up NCAA violations that the school initially decided to
suspend Tressel for all of two games against Akron and Toledo.
That would be laughable if it wasn't so pathetic. Only later did Tressel
decide to take one for the team and volunteer to extend his suspension to
five games, to match the length of time his players would be suspended. By
the way, who will serve Terrelle's Pryor five-game suspension this fall?
Finally, weeks later, Tressel was asked to resign.
Sorry, but that's too little, too late.
This week and next, CBSSports.com is reporting on cheating in college
football. Can programs win without breaking the rules? One thought is that
cheating has increased because the NCAA punishments are not severe enough to
deter schools from getting caught.
There is no fear in the punishment.
Ohio State certainly fits that profile. The head coach -- I guess this is
the obligatory time to mention Ohio State's president Gordon Gee said he
hoped he didn't get dismissed by Tressel -- knowingly played ineligible
players, covered up NCAA violations and was not truthful or forthcoming
about them. But, hey, did we mention he was 9-1 against Michigan? Gold pants
for everybody!
Now Ohio State tells the NCAA everything is Tressel's fault. Cue sound of
semitrailer backing up over Tressel's career.
Ohio State reported to the NCAA that it committed major violations, but says
it should not face harsher punishment because no school official besides
Tressel was aware of player violations, the Dispatch reported.
"The responsibility is upon Tressel," the school reported to the NCAA. "No
other institutional personnel were aware" of the violations and Tressel
failed in his obligation to report them. Ohio State says "The institution is
embarrassed by the actions of Tressel."
That all sounds great and everything. I actually got teary-eyed reading it.
And I'll even go along that no one but Tressel knew -- well except for the
Tressel's email buddies and the guilty players and their teammates and their
buddies and their girlfriends and their girlfriends' friends and ... by the
way, who in the heck in Columbus didn't know?
Anyway, fine, Ohio State wants to use that defense: Tressel was the only one
who knew about the violations.
So then Ohio State has to answer one question: Why didn't the school fire
Tressel the very nano-second it discovered all of his illegal activities? I'
m still waiting.
It didn't. Instead, the school continually backed its coach and defended him
. They kept spinning faster than the spokes on an (alleged steroid-fueled)
Lance Armstrong bicycle.
The university also reported to the NCAA that it is a "repeat violator" of
NCAA regulations but contends its "corrective and punitive actions are
appropriate" and asks that the football program be spared additional
punishment. It took the liberty of placing its football program on two years
probation but believes it should not lose any scholarships or be banned
from postseason play.
So as far as Ohio State is concerned, the only punishment the school
deserves is to vacate some victories, return a Sugar Bowl trophy -- it still
keeps all the BCS bowl riches, by the way -- reprint some media guides and
change the number of wins in 2010 to a scarlet letter "O."
Maybe in August, the NCAA's Committee on Infractions finally helps Ohio
State get it. The Buckeyes certainly haven't so far. | g*********d

我估计如果罚自己一个bowl+10个scholie这个NCAA可能就真的就这么算了。毕竟也是钱
树。
奈何这样也太不给NCAA面子了。让伊在被牛顿抽了100多万个大嘴巴子以后情何以堪。
osu给自己的判罚，对未来影响为0。
所以NCAA这种官僚机构，估计出手也就不会太客气了。

Nebraska被开了AAU，好歹还能再努力进去，OSU这个实在没办法了。

osu just don't get it. They committed major violation and will be punished
severely.
2 yr bowl ban play 30 scholarship reduction is the minimum punishment that
fits the crime.
They have been cheating for all these years. | B****a
