Osu got hammered because tressel lied to the ncaa and never reported it. Had he not done that, penalty would’ve been far less severe.
I'm treating the Tressel 5 year "show cause" separate, actually.
The suspensions for Pryor, Boom, Posey, Mike Adams, and Solomon Thomas were outrageous......5 games for selling their own shit. And just a few short years later, Manziel gets a half-game suspension for making thousands selling autographed paraphernalia. Cam Newton gets cleared in a several hundred thousand dollar payment to his father in the form of a church restoration loan. Bama players getting caught taking loans from a local booster than owns car dealerships (Ingrahm and Travis Henry).
And now a historic event for Chase (getting to go to NYC for Heisman) has been ruined for what sounds like a very small loan.
It's just weird to me.....where OSU always lands on these things vs. the rest of NCAA......
