Ohio State self-reported 46 secondary violations to the NCAA over the last 11 months. That's a lot! Almost 50 secondary violations! Most of these are minor but still put a dent into the university. Examples: Assistant coach Mike Vrabel using smokeless tobacco on the sidelines during football games last season, which was noted and reported to Ohio State by a Columbus-area health teacher and was a secondary violation of NCAA rules against using tobacco during games or practice. Or first-year football coach Urban Meyer, less than three weeks after he was hired, committing a secondary violation by saying "good luck" to recruit Noah Spence (Class of 2012 DE) at a game in December. Or athletic director Gene Smith committing a secondary violation in April by filming a video message to a football recruit. Stupid stuff. I really think these should just be taken out. Remember the text book case that happened a few months ago? How we issued the wrong textbooks to kids and broke NCAA rules stupid stuff.
