zeWilbur Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 An article on the espn site pointed something that I have never heard of before. It's a short read. http://espn.go.com/b...n/post?id=41105 How in the heck did Ohio manage to get permission for two coaching groups? One can only coach and one can only recruit. Two thoughts come to mind: 1. The thought of Ohio having 7 dedicated recruiters and putting Urban Meyer at the head of the list scares the bejesus out of me. 2. Having an entire staff around every day to get the team ready for the bowl game has to be a huge advantage. Right? Is this common or am I blowing it out of proportion? Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 That was common as recent as the late 70's to have a group of coaches who solely were on the road recruiting. Sounds shady that the NCAA allowed this. Hey NCAA!! That's the opposite of punishment. Remember your investigation??? Quote Link to comment
Muck Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Is this common or am I blowing it out of proportion? Well you certainly seem to be confused, Frank Solich coaches Ohio. Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Yeah I saw that too and thought WTF? We all know the NCAA just makes this sh*t up as it goes... Quote Link to comment

zeWilbur Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Is this common or am I blowing it out of proportion? Well you certainly seem to be confused, Frank Solich coaches Ohio. . This is listed (now) in the B1G forum so I didn't expect much confusion... That being said, I have never been able to accept any time someone/thing demands that 'the' be put in their name . It always came off as pretentious. Especially when you have six campuses. But hey, 'Ohio' is still more than you ever got out of Schembechler.. :-) Quote Link to comment
huzkerbob Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 The NCAA is favoring the big boys again? Nooooo! Quote Link to comment

When talking about Ohio State people say "Ohio State" or "OSU" and sometimes "tOSU". Quote Link to comment
jaws Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 The NCAA is favoring the big boys again? Nooooo! The article even says it is not unusual for this to happen. I don't think it matters if it is a large school. Quote Link to comment
Hingle McCringleberry Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 The NCAA is favoring the big boys again? Nooooo! tOSU is in transition, an HC that has a bowl to prep for, and a new HC that needs to look into 2012. Really doesn't seem like to big a deal, I wouldn't think it fair to have your out going coach trying to recruit.... Quote Link to comment

Schembechler had no issues with Ohio State seeing as he used to coach there. It was Woody who would never say Michigan. Quote Link to comment
MasterPulverizer Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 The ESPN article had a quote from the AD that I thought was interesting. It was a response to the unfair argument. His contention was essentially that Meyer will be the only coach on the recruiting trail. That said, that's still one hell of a coach out recruiting. I don't see the logic in letting them do this, but it's what we've come to expect from a regulatory authority that has been embarrassed 3 times this year: Ohio State<Miami<Penn State. At this point, they've got to be thinking "what the hell, this season is almost over anyway, and thank god for that." Quote Link to comment
HSKR Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Is this common or am I blowing it out of proportion? Well you certainly seem to be confused, Frank Solich coaches Ohio. It's pretty easy to get Ohio and Ohio State mixed up. Oh wait, that's not true, Ohio is the team with 3 more wins this year, my bad. 4 Quote Link to comment
