Wow, a stand up guy that the players were 'selling' their memorabilia and getting extra benefits from.

Certainly not his fault entirely, particularly when all is said and done. He seems to have handled it the dumbest of all of them. Its probably better for him, but disappointing how the NCAA allows players and coaches to run from the problems they cause at universities.

I've heard some interesting takes on this. What if the federal government made it a crime (like fraud) for the students to take the money/gift? I mean, they are pretending to be amateur athletes as part of a very large organization, one that can be penalized for their fraudulent actions.

Or better yet, what if they pull an Eliot Ness and go after these players for tax evasion? It might dissuade future recruits from sticking their hand out.

Ive been thinking the same thing. Someday you will see a school take a coach or student athlete to court.

Is this really relavant? Fact is the Big 10 hasn't competed with the best the south has to offer lately. I hate the SEC, but the Big 8 has no shot at the title.

The indiscretions going on in the SEC would make Ohio State blush. Everyone knows that Auburn is about to burn. And the oversigning that has been going on to date that they have only recently agreed to kind of crack down on is a joke. SEC teams like Alabama have been able to have something like an extra 30 kids or so come through the program on a 4 year basis. That's more than an entire recruiting class! It sure gives the coaches a lot more room for error in evaluating talent. If everyone were allowed to hold tryouts of top athletes and cut the 30 worst, the field would be more even. So I bristle a little when the SEC thumps its chest at the Big 10. Play by the same rules and beat us and I'll give credit where it's due.

Ohio State to vacate all their 2010 wins in self-imposed sanctions. The NCAA might find those a bit weak and issue a post-season ban and cut schollarships.

They ought to. That's a weak self-imposed punishment.

Extremely weak, considering violations run all the way back to 2001.

Honestly, I'm speechless. I Googled the quote it was so unbelievable that a recruit would actually say that.

Multiple copies out there, here's one for the OSU faithful.

Urban Meyer soon to be in the fold?

Not if there's some pending sanctions. Why volunteer to captain a sinking ship? If the self imposed, read weak, sanctions are not expanded upon by the NCAA, then I think Meyer will be the next OSU coach. If the NCAA slaps them with significant sanctions, he looks elsewhere or keeps collecting a check from ESPN.
