Nexus Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 The NCAA today stunned Ohio State University’s football program by banning it from postseason play after the 2012 season, multiple sources told The Dispatch. The penalty means Ohio State automatically is out of the running for any bowl, or a Big Ten or national championship next year, just as newly appointed head coach Urban Meyer is wooing recruits to the Buckeyes. Athletic Director Gene Smith said previously that while Ohio State has been declared a repeat violator that failed to properly monitor its football program, a bowl ban would be out of line with penalties handed to universities with similar violations.

RexIsMyDogg Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Wow gives Urban Liars newly swayed recruits something to think about over the dead period. No clue how the scumbag Gene Smith still has his job at this point or for that matter his douchebag sidekick Gordon "Im glad Tressell didn't fire me" Gee. Quote Link to comment
NoKoolAidForME Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 The school made the decision to blame it all on Tressel. The reason there was an issue is because he knew of violations and did not report to his AD. So unless it can be proved that Gene Smith had knowledge of wrong doing, there would defiantly be a lawsuit. Quote Link to comment

Gee's not the first chancellor with a severe case of foot in mouth disorder and won't be the last... so I'm not terribly surprised he is still around. I am surprised the AD kept his job though, must have dirt on someone. Quote Link to comment

Perhaps Rex should take over the posting duties. Quote Link to comment
NoKoolAidForME Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I also find it funny that everyone is talking about the hammer that was dropped on OSU. This is the same NCAA that last year at this time allowed OSU to play in the sugar bowl for competitive balance. It wasn't fair to the kid that worked so hard to not be a part of that sugar bowl. However it is fair to hurt kids next year and the following three years that had nothing to do with this scandal. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Confused over the loss of scholarships over the next 3 years........................OSU previously voluntarily gave up 5...................is the penalty now 4?................or 4 in addition to their voluntary 5............making 9 (significant difference).....

NCAA added 4 to the 5 that OSU self-imposed. So it's 9 over the next 3 years. Quote Link to comment

Coqui Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Also this is the first time EVER a post season ban has been set for a team that did not get LOIC. Quote Link to comment

In all fairness, many of the details we know now about the Tatoo 5 came out after the NCAA granted the waiver. Had the NCAA known the extent of what was going on then, they would not have been allowed to play. IIRC, one of the infractions committee members said as much this summer before Miami broke.

Also this is the first time EVER a post season ban has been set for a team that did not get LOIC. Didn't Mississippi State receive a ban after an FTM charge with no LOIC? Quote Link to comment
