NCAA tells Ohio State it finds no new violations; won't face 'failure to monitor' cha

Re: NCAA tells Ohio State it finds no new violations; won't face 'failure to monitor'

Thanks Jimmy. Glad you could jump on the grenade to save the rest of us. See ya back on the Ohio State Campus in 5-10 years.

Tressel is in his 60s and made enough money to never have to work another day in his life. He is probably done coaching, especially the way this whole thing went down. Hopefully he is remembered as much for the good that he did in his career as the occasional mistakes he made. His only fault was rolling the dice on kids with questionable personal integrity, then trying to "protect" them when he should have cut bait. As many others have mentioned, look down the list of top ten programs in the country with a magnifying glass, and you will probably find similar stories.

Gordon Gee: "We are obviously thrilled that the NCAA has found no new violations and that the program won't face the 'failure to monitor' charge. I consider this the second greatest victory in the history of our great football program. The first being the incredible tie against Michigan."

Gee should take his routine on the road. perhaps he could open for charlie sheen

I'm torn. I'm glad they didnt get hit with the failure to control hammer. But, at the same time I'm annoyed that Gee and Smith skate with Tress taking 100% of the blame...those liars knew.

It sucks but someone had to be the fall guy and Jim took it on the chin for the school and the program.

Some of the reactions I'm reading and hearing on the radio are very strange. We didn't win anything with this news yesterday, it's just not going to get substantially worse. It reminds me of my kid's little league team mocking the opposing pitcher when they broke up a no-hitter in the last inning of a game we were losing 11-0. There was no victory yesterday, all we found out was that a terrible situation isn't going to get substantially worse. Good news, sure, but nothing to be talking smack over. At the end of the day, we still lost one of the best coaches in the country, we vacated last season, recruiting has been hurt, we are going to have another coaching change after the season and we are probably looking at several years before we are a contender. Woo-hoo!

Hopefully, the NCAA will show us mercy in a couple weeks and we can finally move on.

I think there were 2 camps most Buckeye fans fell into:

1.) The people who bought the spin that espin, SI, etc, were selling and were generally worried about major sanctions

2.) The people who knew that espn, SI, etc, were full of shit from the start.

The former are feeling pure relief. The latter are feeling pure schadenfreude. Both are great feelings.

2.) The people who knew that espn, SI, etc, were full of shit from the start. b00bie, me, everyone who thought about it rationally

I don't think there is gonna be another coaching change, honestly.

I think Fickell is there guy. But first things first, he should fire that assclown Bollman before anything continues onward.

And the only reason recruiting was hurt was the possibility of major, bowl banning sanctions. Now that those are out of the picture, I don't see recruiting dipping too much.

So when a jackass ex-player goes off in the media about a decade of consistent money laundering, then a week later retracts his statement... the "rational" thing to do is assume that the guy made the whole thing up? Are you Johnnie Cochrane?

There was a lot of smoke surrounding the OSU program. The investigation could have gone either way. The final decision was certainly fortunate in OSU's favor, but it seems the athletic department lost some autonomy in the process.

This is Bollman's last season, regardless of who the head coach will be next season.

Anyone who thinks this ruling is proof that there isn't serious shady and illegal activity with OSU's football team is kidding themselves. The NCAA may not have had enough proof to hand out the more serious charges, but rest assured that it's going on.

It reminds me of the Casey Anthony trial... we know she did it, but putting together hard evidence for the case is another thing...

Oh, I know. Because how in the world could the largest, one of the best academic schools in the country, and one that consistently plays on national television and ranks consistently in the Top 10 every single year possibly be a draw to star high school athletes without doing something shady to get and keep them there.
