Ohio State Recruiting Violations

Scholarship reductions don’t even matter at a certain point. It’s like when the fines for not paying a parking meter are less than the cost of the meter.

 
The NCAA promotoes 'cheating' with the few penalties that are handed down. Why not for barely getting a slap on the wrist. They should only be allowed to sign 10 kids the next 3 seasons under scholly.

Giving athletes too many textbooks

Guess what, that probably isn't the last violation at Nebraska. I am sure they have self reported infractions just like OSU but a newpaper or blog hasn't requested the public records.  It is foolish to think that a coach at Nebraska hasn't accidentally texted a recruit when they shouldn't have at least once in the last 2 years or some of the other stuff that OSU self reported.

Maybe.  We aren't unique, or immune, from petty violations like any other school.  However, I would have to imagine coaches and staff are frequently and thoroughly reminded what the rules are.  There's so many, and some are rather subtle, that a program probably has frequent meetings solely on these rules.  And before clicking send, I'm sure a lot of coaches get proper advice, just to make sure.  We're obviously a little, a lot, biased here, but most agree the integrity of this coaching staff is pretty high.  

 
I haven't clicked @jaws link yet but I really want to know what is defined as an 'absurd' violation?  Are we talking hot tubs full of champagne?  Shoeboxes full of Gushers?  Pallet of Dunk-a-roos?  A parrot that sings Boyz-II-Men? (would be awesome btw) Or, just regular run of the mill absurd like stacks of cash, free cars, etc.

 
Mostly contact violations, texts and tweets outside the time allowed.  Also, a few dinners that exceeded the allowable cost.

The link I gave is the original article about the violations. Elevenwarriors is the blog that made the original public records request. I think the biggest violation is the Parsons incident where they had to stop recruiting him because of the College Gameday meeting with Herbie and some other former players.

Yeah...in 2001 they had to self report Eric Crouch getting a free turkey sandwich.  I'm sure it's similar.

Yeah I checked it out just a bit ago nothing too drastic.  I know OSU had to stop recruiting Parsons after the ESPN Gameday incident, I wonder if that doesn't happen if he ends up at OSU.  Would've made things more interesting.
